Today, my boyfriend of two years accidentally admitted to me that he settled for me because he doesn't think he can do any better. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after a discussion, my boyfriend said, "I think it's time you found somebody better." After I gave him a look, he continued, "For me." FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years told his friend that he decided a long time ago that he would never be faithful to a woman. I was sitting next to him. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted that he never thought we had a future together. He just wanted to move in together so he could get "cheaper rent for a while." FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years told me that he sees no future with me. It's alright though, because he says we can still "coast along" until he meets someone else. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years proposed to me. Less than two minutes later, he decided he wasn't ready for the commitment. After I had already said yes. FML
Today, my boyfriend of a year decided to confess to me that almost everything he has told me in our relationship has been a lie. This includes telling me that he was single when we first met, telling me that he loved me, and telling me that I was beautiful. 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 of three years who I helped through drug rehab and find employment in my office left me for someone else. His explanation was that now that his "head is not clouded with chemicals" and he "makes decent money", he wants to settle down with someone worthy of him. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted he didn't want to marry me, not because he doesn't want to spend his life with me, but because he'd seen two friends get ruined by divorce settlements, and he "doesn't want my hooks in him." I love him with all my heart and would never dream of pulling a marriage con. 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

Maybe you are so beautiful that he knew there wasn't anything else better than you. Therefore, he had to settle with stopping his search. It may be a compliment????

Oh and HOW NICE OF HIM. I don't know anyone who has done it, but sounds like you're one to do it.

The problem is that he said he SETTLED for her. 'Settled' means he didn't WANT to choose to be with her and that she doesn't meet his standards but he doesn't think anyone who meets his standards would look his way. It means he has low self-esteem and self-confidence but has also destroyed HER self-esteem and self-confidence now because it means she is second best or just the only person who gave him a chance which is heart-breaking to hear, especially if you love the one who says it. Now all she'll be able to think about is whether he truly meant a single word he said to her for the two years, or if they were all lies to make her stay with him. So it truly is an 'FML' because this could destroy the very essence of who she is by leaving her with no self-confidence, no self-esteem and trust issues.
