Today, in an attempt to break up with my boyfriend, I told him, "I don't feel a mental connection between us." His reply? "Why do we need a mental connection?" FML

Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend, "We need to talk." He said, "I know". So we met after school, and he said he was OK with me breaking up with him, that he wasn't that into me either. He said all that before I could tell him that my parents wanted to meet him. FML
Today, I tried to break up with my boyfriend. He said no. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. I said that at least I was always there for him when he needed me. He said "When did I need you?" FML
Today, I told my man I was feeling a lack of emotional closeness and dialogue in our relationship. I'd hoped for a comeback like, "So what do you need in order to change that?" Or even, "Aw, come here, let's cuddle!" Instead, I got a simple, "I don't." FML
Today, my boyfriend called and asked me why I love him. I told him because he's always there for me and continues to put up with my bipolar disorder. He promptly said "not anymore" and hung up. FML
Today, in the same sentence, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to "spend the rest of his life with me," and "I want to break up with you because I can't face your family." FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. I've heard some weird reasons before, but "My future self told me to" is a new one. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend of nine months that depression runs in my family and I think the reason I've been flipping shit so much lately may be that I am depressed. Not five minutes later he decided a break would be "the best thing for us right now." FML
Today, my boyfriend of 3 months decided to end our long-distance relationship out of the blue, because he "lost interest" and "our families don't approve" and "you deserve better than me" and "I'm holding you back." He took my heart and shattered against the wall. FML

Let him know you don't need a physical connection.

Maybe you can just outsmart him and trick him into breaking up with you. He seems pretty dumb.

I'd say just ignore him, but he might show up a month later looking for some steak...

Why don't you just be honest and say hey I don't want to see you anymore goodbye

He was probably so dumbfounded with her statement, that he probably broke it off with her anyways. That was the real FML. Hence the including his retort. (Just theory) hahha.

Or an emotional one since emotion is different than mental as mental would be Telepathy. Point being that I can see where OP bf is coming from, but I think he was being an egotistical jerk for trying to be funny at a time like this.

It's good that you 'psychically' correct the spelling error.. I mean, physically..!

Everybody knows it's a quantum physical connection that counts.

His idiocy should make breaking it off that much more simple.

I'm sure he's just in it for that booty, though he might just be stupid. If that's so it should be easy to leave him, or get him to leave you!

Not sure why you're getting thumbed down. That's the first thought that came to me, that OP is his booty call and nothing more.

men are not in it for the booty, we want a mental connection! Seriously...oh crap my pants are on fire! Help!!!!

Honestly, when I hear mental connection, I think telepathy. That might be what OP's boyfriend thought too.

He sounds like a guy who wouldn't understand even if you say:"I'm breaking up with you."

Just like the one in the video "Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. He said no. FML"

Well, wired really is the best method anyway. Mental connections can be unstable.
