Today, I got an email saying the gift I'd ordered for my boyfriend of three years had been sent. I ordered it a couple of days ago because I thought he needed cheering up. I guess he found a better way of doing so himself; he broke up with me yesterday. FML

Today, my boyfriend of a over a year broke up with me. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't written him a long letter about how much I love him, and that I'm so glad we're together and so glad that he promised he would always be there. He'll be getting it in a few days. FML
Today, my boyfriend of a year dumped me by text. It's also the day that the birthday present I ordered for him was finally processed and shipped, meaning I can't cancel and get my money back. FML
Today, my long-distance boyfriend broke up with me. Tomorrow he should be getting the super long love letter that I poured my heart into and sent him a week ago. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me to stay home, because he wanted to come by to give me a birthday surprise. Later on, he came by, posted a note, rung the bell and left. The note was a break up note. FML
Today, I got a phone call from my boyfriend breaking things off with me. He waited until the day after Christmas because he wanted all his presents. And he got me nothing. FML
Today, I was making out with my boyfriend. When we took a break and went downstairs, he checked the mail. He had received a letter from his ex-girlfriend, which he opened in front of me. He then began sobbing on my shoulder and broke up with me. He still had to drive me home. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a $100 gift card for Victoria's Secret. Suspicious, I checked the receipt he'd left in the bag. Turns out he had bought it during the two weeks we were broken up for some other girl who rejected him, so decided to give it to me instead. FML
Today, my boyfriend of three years sent me several flowers and chocolate boxes to my office. It ends up that he cheated on me with my sister and tried to break the news to me after all the presents he sent. I thought he actually remembered our anniversary this year. FML
Today, I got a postcard from my boyfriend who is on vacation in the Caribbean. He's breaking up with me. FML
Today, I got an early Valentine's day card. My boyfriend and I recently broke up, and my hopes shot up thinking it might be from him. It wasn't. It was from my parents. FML

Hold on to the gift, and give it to someone else later.

Just let him know about the inopportune timing so he doesn't get the retarded idea that you're "a crazy ex" or some stupid thing.

Oh yes, because everyone always appreciates a good regift. Make sure you tell the new person too!

#32- A re-gift is when someone buys you a present and you give it to someone else. That's not what OP would be doing...
silencebabyy 23
would be great but not if it was sent to his address

Well, you never had to wait for Postage and Packaging on a break-up.

Just because you ordered it for him,doesnt mean you have to give it to him
lilhellian 26
It could've been sent to his house. I say good luck getting it back in that case.

I'll take it! What is it? Anywho, you seem kinda down and I see no better way of cheering you up than letting you lavish gifts on me. I can be very grateful, if you know what I mean ;) Mr. Worldwide, 305, Dale!

Can anyone lavish you with gifts? Or is this for OP only? I only ask because,,, well,,, because I don't want you to breakup with me. What we had that one night was special. Special to me anyway.

#24, no, the gift-giving is open to anyone, and you have an opportunity to impress me even on a tight budget. Do you have access to really good apples? For some reason, the apples they sell here in Florida are shit (I blame the thugs of Big Citrus). So, if you'll send me some nice, crunchy apples, you'll be in my good graces. Thanks!

Hmmm. Well, actually strawberries are what we have in season over here. Not sure when fresh applies are available. However, I can send you some of the best strawberries you have had in your life. They taste like little red bags of sugar.

Hopefully it's something that you yourself can use... Keep it and use it to cheer yourself up just for spite... If not, return it. You don't need the constant reminder of that relationship hanging around.

What a douche. You deserve better than that. Unreal.
WCARlover 34
He's not necessarily a douche. People break up all the time; it didn't say he had cheated on her or something else douchey, he just broke up with her
Mifflicious 18
How's he a douche? If he hasn't got any feelings for her anymore, of course he should break up. Or should he just pretend that he loves her all her life?
RedPillSucks 31
Right. He also probably didn't get the gift before the breakup. Hopefully OP didn't have it delivered directly to BF address.
olpally 32
Excuse me for my comment. Argh, not a morning person. Sorry.
jw90 18
Well you have several options. Either return it or keep it for later
WCARlover 34
Hopefully it's a gift you can use yourself, or for a future boyfriend, maybe?:)

I would personally hate to find out if something my gf gave to me had been for one of her previous bf's. She could sell whatever it is on eBay or something.

or she could just not tell him that

Maybe this gift will get you two back together?
