Today, my boyfriend of over a year broke up with me. Completely crushed, I spent an hour gathering up everything he ever gave me. Then he calls back to say how stupid he was and how he wanted me back. I was ecstatic. An hour later he figured out he was okay with his first decision. FML
I agree, your life sucks (25994) - you totally deserved it (2194)

I dont see a reason why it's terrible. Seriously, he broke up with u (sad) but then he called (omfg) and u accepted him back. How lame do u have to get in scale 1 to 10 do to such a thing. YDI. If my girlfriend would leave me and an hour later she would call and say: Sorry my bad I want you back. I would say F*** u now. In addition, why would u accpet him back by a stupid phone call? If he would really care about u, I guess he could do (atleast I would do) something special. YDI for taking him back.

Her boyfriend probably met someone else. He thought the other girl said yes to him and broke it off. Then the girl said something that made him doubt she accepted in the first place and called his girlfriend back. Then the other girl finally clearly said yes and he broke it off for good. There you have it. Burn his things. And his new girlfriend.
so what the hell is his final decision???? btw, ur better off not dating indecisive guys who always change their minds.
DON'T BE CALLING THINGS GAY THAT ARE NOT PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY HOMOSEXUAL. THAT IS NOT RIGHT AT ALL. BE RESPECTFUL. BE KIND. BE CURTEOUS. DON'T ACT A FOOL BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET A MAN.

CAPSLOCKRAPE!
Dude, word meanings change.
If you want to be a douche about it, "gay" means happy. So don't be calling homosexuals "gay". You're misusing the word.
If the word gets to change from "happy" to "homosexual", who's to say it hasn't changed to "undesirable"?

umm u mean he doesn't deserve her, ur making it sound like he's too good for her.

DUMP THAT FUKKEN PRICK YOU CAN DO BETT- oh. The standard response doesn't work for this one.

XD
Well, OP, don't give his stuff back. Stomp on it, and then set it on fire.
Pretty fireworks!
#13 - On 10/25/2009 at 8:28pm by Witchcraft
I completely agree.
I'll join in with an annual burning of all my exes!
#57 - On 10/26/2009 at 4:44am by Srain
I had one of my ex's T-shirts. I ripped it to shreds and my dad uses the pieces as rags for his dusty computer stuff. As for his Boondock Saints DVD and South Park DVD... I snapped those in two and melted them. It made my night.

Shouldn't have taken him back in the first place. That would have drove him crazy.
#10 - On 10/25/2009 at 8:25pm by capricaz
awwh :(
anyone who messes you around like that isn't worth the time!
#14 - On 10/25/2009 at 8:30pm by jeniilouise
He just wanted to test if he can use you for a booty call later on. Guess he can.
#16 - On 10/25/2009 at 8:32pm by nokillnobeepbeep
are you named Brandi by any chance? cuz she's my pal and is having the same probs with the dude she likes.
Just leave. Dont bother with him anymore. Dont burn his shit though cause that just makes you crazy, give it back to him and walk away.
How is burning it moar crazy than gathering it up and giving it it to him? Any additional contact with this guy is useless. He is careless and does not deserve to know her.
I have a bonfire pit out back you can use, honey. It's all smoke and dust, anyway. Set it off :]
He doesn't deserve you .
Guys are dicks, I'm sorry that happened. Just move on.
#19 - On 10/25/2009 at 8:45pm by ch0ng4lici0us
thats a pretty stupid comment, not all guys are dicks...I know I am but theres bound to be some nice guys out there
not first!!!!!
could be worse he could have been immature and dumped you by ignoring you. plus you dont want someone who cant make up his mins ... think of the wedding day
If he changes his mind again, please don't go back to him, and I agree with Witchraft. Set fire to all of his stuff.
#22 - On 10/25/2009 at 8:55pm by the_stereotype
People pay big bucks to ride on roller coasters, he's giving you a ride on an emotional one for free. Every time he takes you back, go "Click, click, click, click" and every time he dumps you, put up your arms and go, "Wheeeeee!"
Have fun with his indecisiveness. When he finally decides to stay with you, kick him in the balls, hard, and run away! As he's vomiting, yell, "Welcome to the Happiest Place on Earth!"
I was going to just say that you're better off alone than with an indecisive boy, but this is just SO MUCH BETTER.
Bravo, sir! *Golf clap*
#75 - On 10/26/2009 at 9:20pm by Ultimate_Cynic
Yes everyone, tell her to burn his stuff. That's when legalities come in and she gets called a crazy bitch by everyone.
You don't burn someone else's stuff.
#30 - On 10/25/2009 at 9:34pm by DeathShad0
no shit...ive done something similar before because we were breaking up over her wanting children, not cos we didnt care about each other anymore, hence changing mind, and then making the obvious decision in the end.
i really dont see how it makes him as bad as everyone is saying...a bit douchey but yeh, nothing huge.
#38 - On 10/25/2009 at 10:43pm by organisedchaos
She wouldn't be burning HIS stuff, she'd be burning the stuff he gave her that reminded her of him.
Love the OP's username, by the way.
dammn, i know how it feels. trust me. the EXACT same thing happened to me. except he also admitted that he still had feelings for his ex gf from 5 years ago, AND this happened 2 days before i had to go to florida for a trip with our dance company. his ex gf is in it too. now THATS an "fml" >.
what a dirtbag.
You're better off without him anyway - if he suddenly decides to get back with you AGAIN, you know what to do: deny, deny, deny.
I think we should break up. I miss you. Take me back. No, I still don't like you. Or do I?! No... I don't. Maybe I do. Yes I definitely do... not...
Sounds like fun.
#39 - On 10/25/2009 at 10:48pm by HeatherFTW
Oh he's such an asshole, you don't need someone who can't even make up his mind with what to do with his personal life.
#42 - On 10/25/2009 at 11:50pm by around_the_world
THAT IS THE SADDEST STORY I EVER HEARD IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. YOU MUST BE A SAD INDIVIDUAL. MY HEART IS ACHIN FOR YOU AND YOUR... (FILL IN THE BLANK ;) ) HAH. BE RESPECTFUL TO YOSELF AND DON'T BE ACTIN LIKE YOU CAN'T GET NO OTHER MEN, OR WOOMAN YOU COULD GET ME. I WOULD BE THERE FOR YOU ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT AND EVERY YEAR AND MONTH.
#47 - On 10/26/2009 at 12:36am by NILTIAKNITRAM
THE TERM "IDIOT" IS OFFENSIVE. DON'T BE WRITING THAT ON THIS PUBLIC PEACEFUL SIGHT OF COMMUNITY LOVE. BE RESPECTFUL. BE KIND. BE CURTEIOUS. DON'T ACT A FOOL.
#49 - On 10/26/2009 at 12:39am by NILTIAKNITRAM
...I don't know whether to laugh or vomit.
Maybe I'll do both?
#76 - On 10/26/2009 at 9:22pm by Ultimate_Cynic
Why'd you give everything back to him? Sure, you can give back stuff you had on lend or any outstanding debts, but the rest was a gift and is totally yours. That was foolish. You could've at least sold them.
Sans that, it sounds like you're better off without him. Indecisiveness, at times, can be an even greater danger than stupidity. You have been warned.
#50 - On 10/26/2009 at 12:40am by blastvortex
It must certainly be impossible that he has any kinds of conflicting feelings on the matter, or that this was something he was thinking about for the better part of a month (if not longer). Break-ups by their very nature tend to suck. It's an unfortunate fact of life that in general, there really is no neat, painless way to end a relationship. Talk to a friend, sort out your feelings, dust yourself off, and move on.
#56 - On 10/26/2009 at 4:37am by cthulhu1138
What were you thinking when you accepted the apology at the first place?
He dumped you and that was it! If he comes back and is willing to live with the "obliged feeling of your acceptance" for the rest of his life then he is too low to be living with at the first place. Accepting him back shows how big looser you are. FYL for having such a low self esteem.
You might have been crushed but now you don't have to be the pathetic pet he keeps around because he doesn't want to be alone. Grow a back bone, become a strong woman, and don't carve his name into your skin.
#64 - On 10/26/2009 at 8:07am by TenebrificTurtle
you can always find some1 ekse its not a marraige. Im dating a woman who was married and she said she hated married life and sticking to the same cheating husband u were just in a relationship no big deal plenty of other guys out there. Just think os something bad he did to you and hate and be glad he is gone rather than cry. Thats what my gf did

"bitch, call me when you wanna stop acting like you're featuring in katy perrys mv"

I totally understand and feel your pain! Hang in there and just view it as a fresh start for you. I was completely devastated when my first serious boyfriend broke up with me in high school. Then he said he wanted me back and I gladly accepted, only to be publicly humiliated by finding out that he had only asked for me back because he lost a bet.
As for asking why she took him back...I would think you have never been in love before. Yes, it would be the strong and smart thing to do not to take him back, but most people are not very strong after having their heart broken. It's the worst pain I've ever felt. I begged and begged him and made a total ass of myself. Then I cried practically non-stop for a month and slept in my mom's bed. Looking back on it, I almost can't believe it as if I was under a spell or something. Love makes you crazy! I'm not ashamed to admit the way I acted. I think almost everyone will make an ass of themselves for love someday.
#78 - On 10/27/2009 at 9:11pm by dramakat11
Sweetie, I know your pain. I was in a relationship for four months, thought he was the one, gave him everything I had (including my virginity), only to have him dump me because I freaked out over a possible pregnancy. He was a complete jerk, then I was stupid enough to take him back when he changed his mind. I lied to him about taking a second test, and he dumped me again. As much as I may have deserved it, the way he handled the situation was so stupid, I couldn't believe how much I begged for him back. But now I'm with a guy that's a million times more of a man than my ex will ever be, and I'm so much happier. Trust me, you'll be in a pit of misery for a long time if you don't just let it go and move on with your life. You're only going to give him more power over you if you continue to mope around being depressed because you're all alone. You'll find someone better, I promise you. I reacted the exact same way as dramakat11, and I look at myself the same way she does. I was a ridiculous, pitiful fool. If I hadn't had my friends or my current boyfriend there to slap me across the face and tell me what an idiot I was, I'd still be crying now, five months later, clinging to my father for support and feeling dead on the inside. You'll get better, and he'll remain the asshole he is today. Be strong, and hold on to your ability to be happy. It's still there, I swear.
