Awkward, Break-ups and Love: Bad timing

Bad timing

By kellym - 22/04/2009 03:24 - Canada

Today, I called my husband and he told me that he was going to invite his friend Jeff over that night. I told him I would prefer that he didn't come over. He took it to mean that I wanted to spend time with him and came home with flowers. Then had to tell him I was leaving him. FML

Today, I had a fight with my boyfriend over a girl he is close to. He later arrived with flowers for what I thought was an apology. He was actually breaking up with me; the flowers were for her, he just didn't want to leave them in the car. FML

Today, I called my boyfriend to see if he wanted to come over to my house. He said he couldn't because he was out of town. That would have be perfectly acceptable, if I hadn't called him on his house phone. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me to stay home, because he wanted to come by to give me a birthday surprise. Later on, he came by, posted a note, rung the bell and left. The note was a break up note. FML

Today, I was invited to a party, but I didn't attend because my boyfriend would be disappointed with me. Instead, I spent the night with him watching movies. At the end of the night, he broke up with me because I wasn't fun enough. FML

Today, I came home early, and my boyfriend's car was in my driveway. Inside, he was talking to my parents. He walked right past me and left. My mother then says, "He wanted me to tell you it's over." FML

Today, my boyfriend invited me over to his house. I was planning on breaking up with him while at his house. Turns out, it was a proposal party. I'm now engaged because it would've been rude to say no in front of his family that had flown in. FML

Today, my boyfriend called and said he was stopping by to talk. I didn't understand why he would stop by, so I asked if he was going to break up with me, he said no. Half an hour later, he knocked on my door to break up with me. FML

If he was that interested in spending time with you, why are you leaving? Good point though, #136.

dudes. theres may be a reason to leave him... seriously... dont be so quick to judge.. she could have done something bitchy or he could have been the cause and or maybe its both their faults. its obviously really hard for her to do so it definatly is grounds for an FML/FHL.

People who defend the OP and see this as an FML mustn't realise that the OP simply could have WAITED a couple of days and found the right moment before breaking up, especially when they're both married. If they're in a situation where the husband comes home looking forward to a night together with flowers, I'm sure that the two of them could have tried to sort things out before immediately resorting to divorce. Don't **** his life, or your life, just **** you.
