Today, my boyfriend sent me a picture of a bra he claimed I left at his house. I know every single bra I own, and it wasn't one of them, or so I thought. Only after I broke up with him did I remember I lost that bra two months ago. FML

Good thing you broke up with him because he doesn't deserve to be with someone who punishes him for no reason. FYL because you lost someone who actually cares about you. I don't think many guys would take the chance and send their gf a picture of a bra they lost.

YDI for not thinking things through too much. But maybe you should ask him to give you another chance.

"Today, my boyfriend sent me a picture of a bra he claimed I left at his house. I know every single bra I own, and it wasn't one of them. FML" Talk to your boyfriend and take a good look at the bra before you do anything too rash, maybe it's an old one you've forgotten about. Why would your boyfriend take a picture of another girl's bra and send it to you? He must be sure it's yours. So it probably is. Has he given you any reason not to trust him? If not, don't break up over something silly like him having another girl's underwear. Talk to him about it. Maybe it's from a previous girlfriend? Everyone who is voting YDI be honest with yourself. If OP hadn't been able to communicate with her boyfriend and had posted this story halfway through, how many of you would have posted reasonable suggestions like the ones above? And how many of you would have just called him a cheating jerk and told her to dump him? Cause it seems to me that a lot of you are coming down on OP very hard for something you would have encouraged her to do.

Actually, I find FML commenters (like yourself) are usually pretty good at giving alternate possibilities when context is very unclear. And looking at most relationship-issue posts (even past ones about random clothing or wtv) proper communication is one of the most common pieces of advice given. Personally in the same situation, it wouldn't be my first reaction to assume my bf was cheating, let alone dump him without going to see him and really thinking about it...so she gets little sympathy from me. I could understand maybe the doubt (depending on her past), but not her throwing the relationship away without even properly reflecting about things first. She can try to salvage things and apologize, but I wouldn't really blame him if he's not up to continuing the relationship.

There are plenty of reasons for it to be another girl's bra. An ex, maybe someone he lives with's laundry getting mixed up with his, even a previous resident. If he didn't admit to cheating don't assume it.

Some are good. But there are quite a few who simply type "dump him" for even fairly minor offences. I suspect quite a few of those are now having a go at OP even though they would have suggested that OP dump him earlier.

IF it was someone else's bra it could of been a matter of sending the text to the wrong person.

Or simply being sure it was his girlfriend's cause for some reason he didn't think it was the girl he was cheating with. There are lots of reasons why someone who was cheating might still send a photo.

From what I can tell, you read the FML until you reached the comma you replaced in your comment with a period. Who stops reading halfway through a sentence? It clearly says, right after you stopped quoting that she knows for a fact it is her bra.

I think #26 was making the point that people are criticising OP for dumping her bf when he sent the bra picture, but if OP had made an fml at that point in time, those critics would most likley have been on her side.

You make a good point, people just want to be right lol

Even if it was his mum's it shouldnt matter. My natural assumption would be that it got mixed up in the washing and ended up in his room along with his laundry and seeing as any normal human being wouldnt go through their parents underwear drawer, he probably wouldn't have known if it was his girlfriend's or his mum's anyway. I do my own washing being a SAHM and ive found my sister's bras accidently put with my partner's underwear! Obviously an honest mistake on my part. ^_^

lmaoo you deserve it. but apologize to him mama and hope he is a forgiving person

I am sure he would send you a pic of a bra that a girl lost if he was cheating on you. "I know every single bra I own". How do you forget it that fast lol

No you don't understand. she knows every single bra she owns. she made that clear to us and no doubt him.

Honestly if he cheated on you he probably would wait for you to ask for it instead of sending you a picture.

He might take you back...but it's possible you'll stay unhooked...

I left my bra at my boyfriend's house but I didn't realize I left there until he sent me video and show me that I left bra there. I knew it was mine. Next time , think twice and ask him who's bra is that instead dumped him.
