Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. He did it over Snapchat because he said he didn't want to hear me sad over the phone and wanted to save data. Three years down the drain. FML

I am just go ahead and put it out there, your ex is a jerk and a pussy for breaking up via snapchat. If that is his way of breaking up after 3 years, then you deserve way better. Sorry OP

I'm so sorry, OP. Nobody deserves to be broken up with over the phone, especially if you've been together for 3 years....

Sorry to read that OP. Though if that's how he goes about it it's better to be done with it. I've dated a few that seemed mature, but not till way later you find out how immature they really are. Some hide it exceptionally well.

"Three years down the drain" - What a terrible attitude to have. You make it sound like all the good experiences you shared mean nothing which is an utterly negative way of looking at things.

OP probably isn't going to be able to Pollyanna her way through this bullshit. Plus, they're probably looking back over the relationship and noticing the red flags that hindsight has made so abundantly clear.

#65 I just despise the whole "The relationship didn't end with marriage, mortgage, picket fence, cat, dog and 2.5 kids so it was a waste" attitude. You got to share 3 years of your life with someone - had good times, bad times but you had to go your seperate ways. It's part of the human condition.

He broke up with her in a pretty shitty way though and is clearly an absolute douche bag. Even if I'd had great times with someone, if they did something like that those memories would mean significantly less to me

Sounds like she is the sort to take a breakup very poorly and irrationally. With these people it is often better for everyone to get it over quickly with some distance between the two of you.

Not being a jackass. Just pointing out that there is a better, more positive outlook to relationships. Love and lasting relationships happen by accident more often than not. Throw away your damn 5 year plans and enjoy your lives instead. Love and lasting companionship happens to happy people.

It is true, it isn't wasted because OP will have grown and learned from her experiences. But it still sucks and you have to understand that it was a terrible way to break up with her and is going to be really hard for her. I was going to write something about how no experience is ever wasted, I think people are taking issue to you blaming her for having that attitude. There are more positive ways to look at it which is great and you could still get that point across without blaming her.

Looks like I really need to work on my being inspirational and stuff. :(

Nah I thought your comments on that there were good memories as well as bad, that it is only 3 years and there is more to life were great. And you saw things from a different perspective to most people which is also good. :)

I'm not condoning a revengeful act but I'm the type of person that deems a scumbag move like worthy of at least slashed tires

This is really ironic because the same thing happened to me today. 1.5 years and many years of being friends just went right down the toilet.

I was with someone for 4 years and it went down the drain. I married someone a few months later and now married 6 years and we have a family together. It gets better! Ex boyfriend is a jerk for using snapchat though.

Wow, sounds like the perfect marriage of desperation.

What a douchebag!! Guess there are advantages to dating older guys who aren't technology savvy. Even if my ex bf was a douchebag in other ways, he did break up with me in person. But I think he did it in person too cuz he heard from mutual acquaintances we had already broken up and I was pissed at him. Lol

I'm so sorry dear, I know it hurts like hell now. Break ups are not always easy especially the ones that are lengthy in time. Just give yourself healing time, cry, get stuff out of your system and then get back up, the good thing about being single is it gives you time to learn about the things you like. Don't worry someone else that's much better will walk into your life when you least expect it. You got this thing honey :) xoxoxo!

u never deserved this, however the way he treated you describes his persona, so better move on op

I still think that you learn a lot about your ex just by the way they broke up with you. The relationship could've been great, but if he breaks up with you in a cruel way then he's obviously an ass and you deserve way better. True colors show eventually
