Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. He then told me that he will love me forever, wait for me and will follow me to the ends of the earth. Apparently, that means standing outside my door and calling my house phone every five minutes. It's been 3 hours straight now. FML

Today, my boyfriend thinks it’s going so well, we have marriage potential, so before we get any more serious he wanted a promise that I will never want children, and if I think there’s ever a chance I might, tell him soon because we’ll have to split up before we waste each other’s time. FML

I say just agree because it's just the thought of you being with someone else. it doesn't seem real beacuse he isstill alive and the thought of you being with someone else seems odd. not a fml IMO

Sorry folks but love isn't controling. He wants her to forever cling to his memory long after he is dead because he cant stand the thought of her being with another man. EVER. What the hell is he going to do even if she did fall for another guy once he starts looking like the crypt keeper? Absolutly nothing. Some guys act like you arent supposed to pick up the pieces after the relationship is over even if both parties are still living. Let this relationship dissolve ( barring any other crazy actions ) before he will make you swear not to look upon any other man while covering all the windows in the house with aluminum foil and cutting the phone lines. It's funny how some women confuse crazy, possesive and jealous actions with love when in fact it's just insecurity. If he really does love you then he would want you to be happy even if that means you could find that happiness with someone else.

Um, yea. Total loophole right there. If he ever died? What about suicide or if you broke up with him on his deathbed? I could imagine you claiming, when meeting him in the afterlife, that he was never dead to you because "honey, you live in me." Lol. See what he says to that.

Um, is this the *first* time in your five years together he has ever voiced this possessive-jealous instinct? Because my potential-abuser meter is going off like mad. I could be wrong, he could just be having a mortality-denial "the world can't go on without me!" moment...but that's a desperate promise to extract from someone under duress. It'd be different if it was a mutual pact (hey, the world takes all kinds), but AN HOUR? My instinct is RUN.

Even though you've been together five years, I honestly think this is a clear sign he's not ready for a real relationship, so you should seriously dump the guy. In a relationship the needs of your partner are supposed to come before your own. Yeah that might be a tad cliche and something we've heard a thousand times, but the reason it needs to be mentioned again is because by making you promise never to be with anyone else if he dies he's proving that his needs are more important than yours to him. If he really loved you then he'd want you to be happy after he was gone. I am so in love with my fiancee and can't wait to share my life with her, but I've already told her before that if anything would ever happen to me that she shouldn't feel at all guilty about looking for someone else to be with after I was gone, because she could know that I would not only be okay with it, but I'd be happy for her.
