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

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.

I thought this said brother, not boyfriend...

Coming from someone who has experienced it the other way around, he was being compassionate. I got dumped by a long time boyfriend two days before my birthday. I wish he would've waited. It was the worst birthday ever-I kept crying at my own party :/

All these comments - that sucks but at least he wasn't being a dick about it - are you serious ?!?!? Having sex with her right before dumping her isn't being a dick ?!?! Come on people

Completely agree. He just lead her on with all of this.

On the bright side, he made sure you had a wonderful birthday so that's got to count for something right?

Got dumped on my birthday once, but I didn't even get the birthday sex, I feel robbed right now!

At least he gave you a good birthday and waited till it was after your birthday to do it. I doubt most guys would do that.
