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

Tell him you settled for him because you felt sorry for him.

Wow... Is that maybe a compliment gone wrong? "I could never find a woman better than you." - see without context it's really mushy! ;) but less offensive.

I think it has more to do with theunfortunate choice of words used by the boyfriend that upset the OP. ie "settled" not "chose" etc. Personally i think he was trying to give the Op a compliment but the words came out wrong.

You should say "well that just you. I know I can do better dumb ass. See ya" and leave

I think I'm gonna favourite this FML because it can be taken two ways: 1) OP's boyfriend settled for her because he was maybe too shy or insecure to go/wait for someone "better" than OP. 2) OP's boyfriend is trying to say she is the best he'll ever have, but it just didn't come across well and OP misunderstood. So rather more of a compliment than insult.

I was trying to say that she was the best I'll ever have. And yeah, it was my gf that posted the shit.

Every one should be with someone who cherishes them and apreciates them. If he doesn't, you should leave and find someone who does.
