Love, Depression and Break-ups: Time to move on

Time to move on

By Anonymous - 20/12/2022 15:00

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years, whom I just signed a year lease, broke up with me, exactly a week after my best friend's funeral in my last year of college. I can't afford to live in our apartment alone. I'm going to have to drop out and move in with my sister states away. FML

Stuck

Today, my friend informed me that I’m not moving in with him anymore that his sister is taking my place. Unfortunately, I'd finally gathered the money and a car to move out of state with him. Just when I thought I was going to get away from this hellhole, I’m sinking further into never leaving. FML

Today, me, my sister, and my boyfriend all live together. It’s time to renew the lease. They used this as an opportunity to let me know that they’ve fallen in love and I will not be on the new lease. Our parents died in a car accident last year and I have no other family who will take me in. My sister knows this. FML

Today, my boyfriend of six years broke up with me over video chat. Two days before I was to move across the country to be with him. All of my things are already shipped. He said he thinks of me as a sister. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, claiming moving in was a bad idea and he is the type who needs his privacy. It was his idea to move in, he had to convince me. Now we are stuck, under lease together for the next 6 months. FML

Surprise!

By Anonymous - 13/12/2021 01:58

Today, my boyfriend told me he’d have a surprise for me when I got home. The surprise was he’d moved out, dumped me, and cut me off from his share of the bills, because he’s not interested in marriage and babies. I can’t afford the rent by myself so I’m going to have to move back to my mother's. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me after a year of living together. She told me that she met someone else and wanted to move out. She moved out... but moved her things into my roommate's bedroom. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. It wouldn't be so bad if we weren't stuck rooming together for the rest of a semester that hasn't even started yet. FML

Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he says I need to learn how to be happy without relying on him. I'm not a clinger, I'm just unhappy because my dad recently passed away, my best friend turned on me, and I lost out on the exchange program of my dreams. FML

I understand that this breakup is overwhelming to you. For your own sake don’t drop out of college just because of this. Either find a roommate or move into a college dorm for your last year of school… Unless you have been wasting your time and money on a college degree that won’t pay back in your future career, it’s a very foolish move to drop out of college over a boyfriend breakup. Relationships come and go, but you are going to be working for a living most of the rest of your life and a college degree can be a great investment that pays you back many times - But only if you finish the degree.

Well that sucks, but there sure is a way to find another person to share the flat with.

With all of the money you're saving on college costs, you can pay for your half of your ex-boyfriend's apartment and pay rent to your sister. Looks like everybody wins!

Not likely. Even the best degrees don’t pay off with all the damn rate hikes. I didn’t go to a college, and I’m glad I made that choice. A friend in my field did. I’m paid more than him, and I don’t have student debts to pay as well. I’m also a lot more financially stable due to that decision compared to him. College is now a joke and a losers proposition. Nowhere does it pay back the value of what it steals. That said, making connections in a business line will pay off more. Learn it on your own and in the meantime make connections. It’ll pay off better

If you have to, find a few friends in the dorms and alternate couch-crashing while you figure things out (a storage unit near a college is a lot cheaper than the apartment). Contact your college housing - they are equipped to help you figure this out. Whatever you do, DON’T drop out in the home stretch!
