Today, my boyfriend of three years told me he was thinking about us taking a break. After an hour of crying and him saying it would be okay, I accepted it. When I asked when the break would start, he replied, "What are you talking about? I only said I'd thought about it" and then laughed. FML

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. I had only been dating him for about a month. Thinking he wouldn't take it very hard, I invited him over so I could tell him in person. Little did I know he was going to start crying on my couch and not leave for 5 hours. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend, after three long weeks of him ignoring me and cancelling out on time we were supposed to spend with each other. He looked at me with the most confused look on his face. Then he said, ''Are you serious? I was planning the perfect day to ask you to marry me.'' FML

Today, I told my boyfriend, "We need to talk." He said, "I know". So we met after school, and he said he was OK with me breaking up with him, that he wasn't that into me either. He said all that before I could tell him that my parents wanted to meet him. FML

Its not very cool or nice of him to let you cry for an hour over this. he sounds like he just wanted to show how in control he is of the relationship. Not acceptable. Maybe you should think about starting the break.

Get out of this relationship. Right now. Don't look back, because worse things are to come.

Listen to 31 OP. I've had my experiences in this kind if relationship before. And once you're in, there's no way of getting back out for a long, long time. And if you get out before you expect or while things are out of control, make sure you know you'll be safe.

If he gets mad for cheating on him, you can say we were on a break.

OP your BF is a limp dick crank yanking gob weasel. Sext him at his grandmothers funeral.

But wouldn't doing that make her a "limp dick crank yanking gob weasel" as well?

I'd dump his ass anyways.

Suggested thing for OP to say: "You know, I've been thinking too and a break sounds like a wonderful idea. How about we start now and finish it when the Sun swells up and engulfs the Earth during its dying stages?"

Now he thinks he has total control over you and the relationship. Show him that he doesn't, don't let him walk all over you.

What does this say about him? A LOT. Don't let this one slide OP. You cried it out and accepted it, so the hard part is over. Find someone who will treat you better!

Him screwing with your head like that is a massive red flag. To me "a break" equals "I want to try someone else but I want you in the hook in case it doesn't work out" Tell him you need to work out your issues together or you are taking a permanent break.

Not always true. When I took a break with my ex it was because he was getting too clingy, possessive, etc. I was hoping the break would help change things a bit. It didn't though. Not everybody takes a break because they want somebody else. If they're like me, it's simply to take a breather or something like that

I'm glad it worked out for you guys. I've never seen that happen personally. All I have seen is people who have already made up their minds & were not forthcoming with their soon to be exes. Best of luck to you guys :)

I think is time for you to tell him that since you have accepted it that you are going to take a break. Why go through all that crying again when he decides for the break.

No decent man would make his girlfriend cry and then laugh about it. I suggest you take a permanent break from this abomination and find someone with a soul.
