Today, my fiancé dumped me because he claimed he needed to "focus on his career and his engagement." When I asked him how dumping me would help with his engagement, he immediately replied with, "No, I mean my other one." FML

Today, my fiancé of two years told me he was bored of me and he'd just prolonged the engagement to see if anyone more interesting would come along in the mean time. He was upset because no one did. FML

Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said he needed to be with someone smart so that he could impress his parents. I just got accepted into medical school. When I pointed that out to him, he added that he needed to be with someone attractive. FML

Today, my fiancé accused me of cheating and broke up with me. I texted his best friend, who I've never talked to before, to see if he could talk some sense into my ex. Turns out he has several fiancées and was cheating on me since day one. FML

Today, I spent most of my morning comforting the guy I love because his fiancée dumped him for some other guy. He continuously told me I had no clue that kind of pain he was in. He dumped me three years ago for the girl that just left him. FML

Another casualty

By Flabbergast - 17/10/2023 12:30

Today, my fiancé seriously used the war in Israel/Palestine to call off our engagement. We had different opinions, so he asked for the ring back and stormed out of our apartment. Turns out, he used this as a ticket out because he was seeing someone else and didn’t “wanna hurt my feelings” by confessing. FML

Sounds like you're better off without him.

It's a good thing he told you before the walk down the aisle. It's a lot less paperwork and fees to deal with.

He should blow off his career and focus on his bigamy. If he does it right, he can mooch off his two wives and never work a day in his life. Things will be cool until their cycles sync and he becomes the brunt of PMS in stereo.

Actually I think that their cycles syncing would be a positive, since then he'd only have to deal with PMS on the same timetable as a monogamist. Otherwise, he'd have to deal with it for up to twice as long a month...

#44, if they didn't sync up, he'd NEVER have to deal with it! He'd just be monogamous with the one who is good to go, while the one on her period spends a few nights in the garage.

at least you learned this in the engagement. go and find someone whos worth it! and if he did mean another girl, maybe you should warn him about how much he likes to "focus on other engagements"

Wow. He is such a douche. I'm sorry OP. You're better off without him!

I feel like there are too many FMLs where OP gets dumped where they're the back up relationship. It's sad that a lot of people don't understand the meaning of monogamy, being exclusive, etc. I really feel for all these OPs who are cheated on & used. I hope OP realizes she deserves better.

Real sorry OP, but look on the bright side; at least you found out he was a douche now before you got married before its too late. You're better off without him.

His career goal is to be a professional douche bag. Looks like he's off to a good start. Just be thankful you wern't married with kids before finding out, OP.
