Today, my girlfriend called me and said she needs to take a break from our relationship. Why? Her really clingy ex is really depressed about her dating someone else and he isn't ready to accept it. So she wants to take a break "for his sake" until he's over her. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend told me that we should take a break from our relationship, because it'd be best for the both of us. Later, I found out that she really meant it'd be best for her and her new boyfriend. FML
Today, my girlfriend of over a year broke up with me while I'm deployed overseas. Her reason why is that she needs "to be alone to better herself." FML
Today, my girlfriend of almost 3 years told me we needed a break, and that we could try again at the end of the year. FML
Today, my girlfriend's best friend was dumped, and was absolutely depressed. My girlfriend thought she'd show her sympathy by breaking up with me so they "could be single together." FML
Today, I haven't heard from my girlfriend for over a week, after being in a relationship for 7 years with her. She'd called me, saying she had to care for her ex-husband because he had suffered a heart attack. Guess we're over. FML
Today, my girlfriend came to my house crying because the guy who she has been cheating on me with doesn't want to be with her anymore. FML
Today, I told to my girlfriend of 5 years that I'm depressed about having no friends, no job and a difficult family life. I told her that she's the one constant that keeps me going. She decided this was a good time to break up with me to "find" herself, since I was being so mopey. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because "we don't communicate enough". She got her friend to tell me this for her. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me for being "too clingy". I haven't seen her in over 3 weeks and texted her first once. Guess that's still too much for her. FML
Today, I called my girlfriend saying "I think we need to break up." She said "No, I don't think so," and hung up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's a good thing you're taking a break, you can find a better girl than her if she's still concerned about her ex

She doesn't deserve you. And you guys should take a very long break.

Aw, she seems like such a sweet, caring person. (((:

I bet you wouldn't be thinking that if you were OP.

I think she is too. just because he's her ex doesn't mean she's supposed to not care about his feelings. it's hard to go from loving someone to not giving a shit. I get the op being angry and upset, but at the same time you have to appreciate having a girl with a big heart. especially when one day, you could be her ex who is still not over her and can't handle seeing her with someone else.

I support #1 and #12. Although OP is totally right to be upset, I don't completely blame his girlfriend for her decision.

Y'all are too innocent. She's LYING i thought that was obvious.....

You have to be some sort of new breed of dumbass to buy that kind of shit. OP, take this opportunity to find a girl that gives a shit about YOU, not an ex boyfriend. They broke up for a reason, she should be caring for your feelings, not some depressed **** who can't get the **** over it. To anyone who doesn't agree, then go find a girl (or guy) who would not hesitate to break up with you for their ex's "sake". Also, I'm sure by his sake, she really means hop on his dick for a guilt free ride. /endrant

I suspect the girl still has feelings for her ex, or is still somehow emotionally dominated by him. While I get wanting to be nice to your exs, it's ridiculous to put your life on hold for an ex. Especially when that means putting another person on hold too. Personally, if I were the OP, I'd walk away from this. Her current partner should be more important than a previous one.

no one gets sarcasm around here wow

I think she is joking.. Lol I hope.
LegolasPrincess 10
My god, you're slow. She's lying to him. She just wants to go back to her ex because she probably got her way 99.9% of the time.

I'm just amazed that I took 4 comments before the logic came through. Thank you, 28.

teapotrevolt 27
Logic level over 9000!

What??! Nine thousand?? That can't be right! The scouter must be broken!
MrSassypants 34
The scouter is broken? Have you tried turning it off and on again?
SubparAtBest 23
*crushes scouter in hand* ok Nappa turn it back on.

Vegeta is pissed, how could this be?!?! its impassible!

A forever break
uncle_ssaamm 12
i agree... if shes worried about how her ex feels then they should breakup
SubparAtBest 23
#59 its ok to worry about an ex and how they feel and its no reason to break up. I just think shes worrying a little too much.

Seabass_Chan 33
There's nothing wrong about being worried about an ex. HOWEVER, she should realize that breaking up with her boyfriend to spend time with him will not make this depressed guy get over her faster. If anything it could send the wrong message and make him cling to her even more.
Arwen_Evenstar 37
I'm guessing her and the ex will be on and off for years. Just a feeling.
iPixelCheese 19
You deserve better OP. We all know that
not_your_taco 15
And you can take "a break" from her. And find someone else to date that truly appreciates you more than their ex
feytensn 25
Dump her
teentee401 37
I hope you made the break permanent. Don't let her string you along.
achoo123 13
Definitely. Sounds like she isn't over him.

DAFUQ???!

lol good metaphor. he needs to get his ass out asap and find someone else who will actually care for him.
MDoremis 38
This is one of the few times it's appropriate to respond with, "Dump her ass." It's obviously an excuse to lead to a break up.
