By anonymous - 30/01/2010 00:08 - France

Today, I told my best friend I was breaking up with my girlfriend of 3 years. He thought it would be funny to tell her I was going to propose to her that night. She showed up telling me how much she loves me and that when we get married how great it will be. FML

Today, I announced to my friends that I'd proposed to my girlfriend and she'd said yes. I thought they'd be happy for me, since they were the ones who introduced me to her after all. Instead, they all were flabbergasted. One told me, "You realize we set you up with that fat chick as a joke, right?" FML

Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. FML

Today, I planned on "breaking up" with my best friend by confessing my love for her, hoping she would feel different and move on. She reciprocated. FML

Wrong end of the stick

Today, I went to my girlfriend's house to break up with her. It was a hard decision and both of us became quite emotionally overwhelmed at the time. We began to hug as a final goodbye, then her mum burst in the room and yelled, "HE FINALLY PROPOSED!" FML

False hope

Today, I invited over my best friend, whom I've loved for over a year, since she had to tell me "something important". I got excited and thought she was going to tell me she loved me too. She ended up coming out to me, and wanted to know if I would meet her girlfriend. FML

Not such a happy ending

Today, I get to see my best friend and love of my life of two years marry the man she loves. Back then, I lied and told her I was gay to avoid her finding out my feelings for her. FML

#16, are you mentally retarded or something? You tell the OP to keep that kind of news to himself and then you ask why? So he shouldnt tell his best friend but he should tell som random idiot over the internet? Dumbass

To be fair, the chances of it getting back to his girlfriend if he discusses it with an anonymous stranger are far lower than if he discusses it with a real-life friend. I still agree with you, mind, #16 does not understand logic.

You can't fault the OP for wanting to end something that he views is going nowhere. Wouldn't it hurt more if you found your significant other was just keeping the relationship alive to keep you happy? Living a lie is not fun. This fml sucks for both of them. The friend is simply an evil mastermind who will soon rule the world.
