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.

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.

At least he waited til after your birthday. My last boyfriend dumped me 4 days before one birthday, came crawling back then then we broke up again three years later again just before my birthday. Sorry OP, I feel like he gave you false hope. I'm curious to know what his excuse was as it seems he totally blindsided you and went out of his way to do all those nice things.

Why would he go through all of that and then dump you? I'm sorry OP! You deserve a guy with curtsey.

( this is what I meant to say) Why would he go through all of that and then dump you? I'm sorry OP! He should have at least waited after your birthday if he was going to do it. Which you still don't deserve. Some guys have no courtesy these days.

Many people don't realize, but the original version of Tennyson's line, "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" was, "Your boyfriend thought 'twas better to have given you a fun day and then dumped your ass just after midnight than never to have given you a fun day at all." I think we can all agree that the final version is better, and that it turns out the boyfriend was wrong.
