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.

Break up with him. Because then He won't have anything better, OR you. You deserve so much more than a guy who "settled" for you. I personally don't believe in settling. That is basically giving up an being with someone you don't love. If you love them, then its not "settling". FYL, OP. This guys wasted two years. I'm sorry. You're awesome, OP! Keep looking for that perfect someone!

You should "accidentally" call him a shallow jerk and "accidentally" say you're through with him. ;)

It can be a compliment but the word "settle" is what makes it f***ed up. If he had just said that he cant find anyone better than u then it would have been a different story...

It's insane how all female commenters are the ones saying "dump his ass" this that and all the male commenters are saying that he truly meant that statement in a good way. Clear example of how girls manipulate men's words to make it seem like men are horrible pigs when in fact it's probably the girl that's not good enough for him. Sounds like a sincere statement to me, sorry girls but fantasy prince charming only exists in Disney, open your eyes and heart a little bit.

Correction not all, but majority*

It might have been a compliment, but you have to admit the way it was worded was really crappy. 'Settle' was not a good word to use in my opinion.

True, but based on their overall relationship she should've been smart enough to realize that words sometimes come out in a way that can be misinterpreted and that he most likely didn't mean it in that way. Not really an excuse to break up with him unless she truly didn't love him or he cheated or ****** her over in some way or another.

Exactly, 77. My girlfriend,(soon to be ex) wrote this when she completely changed around what I even said to her. Now she gets the chance to write an fml about us not being together. -__-

This reminds me of an episode on "How I met your mother". They said that in every relationship there is a "reacher" and a "settler". Guess we know which one OP is!
