Today, my boyfriend broke up with me two days before my birthday. Only to make it worse, I found out that he had been texting my mother on how to break up with me. To make it even worse, she was giving him tips. FML

Perhaps he was trying to find a way that wouldn't hurt you too much.

if he broke up in a sensitive way, then I think your mom need some credit, if he was a douche well...then f them both. And how did you know? ; S

I think he was just being considerate and trying to look out for your feelings...

What kind of mother does that

How is he a coward? He didn't get her mum to do it for him, he asked for help for her benefit. He did nothing wrong, other than try to let OP down gently with the help of others advice.

Maybe your mom was giving him tips because she knew he wasn't good for you OP. Parents always have some hidden reason as to why they do things.

Get a new boyfriend as a birthday gift from yourself.

Mom was probably doing what she knows best, protecting her young. There is the possibility that she has another motive and is not a "good" mother, but I know my mom would only try to protect me.

My sister's boyfriend of six years broke up with her ON her birthday and turned out to have been cheating on her with her best friend. It could be worse and you will find someone so much better. Maybe your mom was trying to help your feelings be less hurt in the process?

My ex did the same to me on my birthday. I think he set the whole thing up as a way of leaving me in the cruelest way possible, but it turned out to be quite a gift. As for you, OP, I don't know if your mom didn't like your boyfriend and was trying to get him out of your life or if you have a mom who tries to undermine you (and sadly, there are parents like that). Either way, it kinda sucks. I'm really sorry.

I once had a boyfriend who confessed to me that he was in love with another girl...on my birthday. No worries though, he wanted us to stay together because she lived too far away for him to have a "real" relationship with and he would just continue a "cyber" relationship with her. It'll be ok, OP. Soon, you will probably realize a ton of things that you actually don't like about him. Also, don't be too hard on your mom. She probably thought she was helping you by giving him advice on how to soften the blow.
