Surprise!
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

Romcom moment
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend because I was tired of waiting for him to propose. It turns out he was going to propose and had the ring and everything, but I fucked it all up. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, and gave his little speech, over the phone. He did all this while his ass was firmly planted in a chair in the next room. FML

Today, I heard my boyfriend talking with my father in the backyard. I thought he was asking for my hand in marriage. He was actually telling him about his plans to break up with me. FML

Today, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML

are you sure it was a proposal speech in the first place and not just a really long weird breakup speech?

I'm literally speechless, I have no idea how that could even happen.

#6, you know who wasn't speechless? The ex-boyfriend.

They are getting more clever with break ups. Solution: don't date ever again and give up your time to lord Zenu

#1, I thought the guy trying to share the urinal at the mall was even more messed up than this thing -- and that was just from earlier today.

I'm trying to imagine how this went down. "Honey, I love you and want to spend the rest of my life... Well no.... Honey, you mean everything to me and I think.... No, that's not true either.. I don't even know why we're together. I think i'ts time to break up."

#6 yeah I literally have no clue how the hell does that happen? I wonder if he had to intention to do that when he first proposed!

"[OP's name], over the time we've been together, you've made me a very happy man. Knowing you has caused me to know myself better. I've enjoyed our time together immensely, and I want us to enjoy the rest of our lives with nothing but happiness. Separately."

Just how is that possible?
thatkidhesh 11
he's an asshole. shame on him for ruining a moment for you. here's to a new guy and a kick ass proposal! *clinks glasses*
Bobskittens1 12
Maybe he just got so nervous that he rage quit? Either way, sorry OP.
omg36 7
Rage quitting- level: marriage proposal.

What a dick
HowAreYouToday 34
Yeah. Sucks that the sick was in his personality and not his pants.
biggestfan23 11
Probably OP's fault
feelingold 18
Sometimes you need to stare down the barrel of commitment to realize that you'd really rather just focus on WoW.
bigmike25 11
#3 OP probably misinterpreted his break-up speech as a proposal and he is not a dick because it was face to face.

Usually fake FMLs are hard to detect but this one was pretty easy.
perdix 29
#4 comments that are begging for immediate demolition are usually pretty easy to spot and this one is asking for a rapid death.

truesarrif 33
agreed. and without OP filling in the blanks we can only guess
SpartanCEL 6
OP will probably comment filling in what he said and did

*gets down on one knee* see i have this ring here and i wanna marry you. but i dont. as a matter of fact i wanna break up with you all together soo.....i guess ill see you around......
truesarrif 33
more like he started off talking about all the good things about OP how she is a wonderful person yadda yadda. which OP MISTOOK as the beginning of a proposal. when in fact the guy was just trying to let her down easy
iLuvsIt 10
My husband didn't go down on one knee. Although he did pull out a ring. So I guess that means I'm half married???
CrookedCook 14
#70 yes...yes it does.
dawnimus 21
He sounds like a very confused person of you ask me - I know it's not much consolation but at least he got cold feet before you spent a lot of money on a wedding.
josh7279 7
He probably changed his mind half-way through the proposal.
berichsoon 11
Or simply was drunk as hell and had no clue what he was doing
pam241 15
Fear of commitment or did he just not have the balls to marry you?
tj5810 21
That's one in the same, 9.

If people got married based on those conditions, the world would be a very unhappy place.
perdix 29
Wow, did that involve him getting down on one knee and offering you a diamond ring as a parting gift? Did you also get a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni and a home version of the game?

"Hey uhhhh...*gets on one knee* will you break up with me?"*runs out of way of angry ex, takes all belongings, and leaves.
