Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, claiming moving in was a bad idea and he is the type who needs his privacy. It was his idea to move in, he had to convince me. Now we are stuck, under lease together for the next 6 months. FML

Surprise!

By Anonymous - 13/12/2021 01:58

Today, my boyfriend told me he’d have a surprise for me when I got home. The surprise was he’d moved out, dumped me, and cut me off from his share of the bills, because he’s not interested in marriage and babies. I can’t afford the rent by myself so I’m going to have to move back to my mother's. 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

Time to move on

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years, whom I just signed a year lease, broke up with me, exactly a week after my best friend's funeral in my last year of college. I can't afford to live in our apartment alone. I'm going to have to drop out and move in with my sister states away. FML

Today, I went to my boyfriend's apartment to break up with him since he's always busy, and I haven't seen or spoke to him in almost 2 months. I arrived to find out from his landlord that he'd moved out 3 weeks ago, leaving a note saying that we were over. FML

Great boyfriend

Today, I'm 37 years-old and recently out of a job. As my boyfriend refuses to pay more than half the rent as long as I live here, I have no choice but to move back in with my mom, 8 hours away. My boyfriend is quite happy to pay the entire rent as soon as I'm gone. FML

That's what you get for moving in together so soon. FYI- you don't have to listen to him... unless you are locked in on a lease or rental contract. Then FYL.

I'd give him one month before I moved out. He may be cheap, but at least he didn't lead you on and give you false hope for a relationship like my roommate did with one of his previous girlfriends.

Eff that. My ex-boyfriend and I broke up - and I moved out in 30 minutes and moved in with a friend. Turns out, my ex-boyfriend was evicted the following month because he couldn't afford living there. Ha. That's what he gets.

Don't stay! My ex and I lived together for a month after we broke up while he looked for a new place. It was horrible. All we did was fight...some seriously nasty fights. I seriously can't put into words what living with him was like after we broke up. Seriously, leave as soon as you can. It will get ugly.

Okay, I'm not getting this. He is 'insisting' that you don't move out and you are even considering it because he's 'adamant.' Why don't you 'adamantly insist' that he not be a jerk? Oh, that's right. Too late for that. I'd say whoever has the lease in their name stays and the other one leaves. Do you cave every time some salesperson 'adamantly insists' that you should buy something worthless??
