Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend made me breakfast in bed, then we went out shopping, had a picnic, watched a good romcom, had a fancy dinner, and ended the day with great sex. And when the clock struck twelve, he dumped me. FML

Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend had promised that the day would belong to me. But no, I had to drive 80km forth and back to pick him up from work, then he took pictures with his new camera lens, then he decided what to eat, demanded a massage, and then he just fell asleep. Happy birthday to me. FML

Oh that sucks OP. Happy birthday! On one hand he at least made it a happy ending... but I still think it's messed up to pretend like everything is great when it's not. I'm sorry OP

Yes and no. I agree he made it a good day. And it was thoughtful to not dump her on her actual birthday. On the other hand, I personally will feel crushed from being dumped if I don't see it coming. Usually break ups happen after some thought. I think OP is more hurt that she didn't expect it.

Dump you or ran away leaving one glass slipper?

Maybe this is the Cinderella story, but about the man instead. He broke up with you at Midnight and ran off so you didn't find out about his true self and the one good day his fairy godfather gave him. Did he leave behind a glass shoe? Something to think about.....

Sorry for your loss OP, on the other hand he did go out of his was to make your last day special. Most guys wouldn't do that.

He was trying to be a gentleman about it. He wasnt building op up just making her happy on her bday. I doubt he actually did it when the clock struck 12 he probably waited a bit then told her. thats class.

Yeah boning a girl right before you dump her just screams of class ... You got to be kidding me ... Wtf?!?

It was her birthday. Besides who says he initialized it?

49- And? It's not essential to have sex with someone you're planning on dumping just because it's their birthday. Even if he wasn't the one who initiated it, he could've come up with an excuse. I can understand the picnic, breakfast, shopping, etc. but having sex with someone who's oblivious to the fact that you're planning on breaking up with them in a few hours? Dick move.

It was the romcom, I'm sure you're great

He just made OP's feelings for him stronger before he did it. That isn't any nicer than just being honest and giving her the chance to make plans with others instead.

There's no good way to end a relationship where one person is clearly happy. The comments section is proof enough.

The guy knows how to make an exit. Crappy move though.
