Today, I left for a one and a half month trip to Japan with my boyfriend. He promptly broke up with me the first night in the hotel. When asked why he couldn't have waited until the trip was over, he said he didn't want to create "false memories." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, and my heart is shattered to pieces. The worst part is we are supposed to go on vacation together in a week, and neither of us is backing out, or giving the other the room, so it looks like we’ll be staying together on vacation for 11 days straight. FML
Today, the guy I have been seeing left town to visit his family for three weeks. A few hours later, he called me from the airport to say he is never coming back. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me for asking to spend time with him after not seeing him very much in three months, because he doesn’t have time for me and is so stressed out he doesn’t have time for fun. Then he decided he should go to Mexico with the people he works and lives with so they could have fun together. FML
Today, my best friend and I came home from Japan. Her boyfriend and I have been having an affair before I left so I decided not to tell him she was coming with me. We just got off the plane and got a bite to eat, he was waiting for me so he could propose, my best friend was standing next to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to break up with me but it had to be after our cruise together because he doesn't want to lose out on money. Can't wait for the Bahamas. FML
Today, after I flew 16 hours across the world to see my girlfriend, on the fifth day of the holiday we broke up because she ended up telling me she "can't do distance." After all those hours of flying, we spent the last 3 days in the hotel room mostly crying, and I asked her face to face, "Why did you break me?" She left; I'm broken. 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, my boyfriend broke up with me because I was "angry" at him. I was angry because last night he turned off his phone and left me locked out of the Airbnb that I had paid for. Until 3 am. In a foreign country. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, sitting in my car, an hour into a four-hour trip. The reason? I haven't been lifting with him at his gym during the COVID-19 pandemic. The kicker? We were headed back after a stay-cation with his mom, because yesterday was my birthday. FML
Today, I flew cross-country to see my girlfriend of three years. Once I got there, she broke up with me. I was supposed to be staying for a month and now I have nowhere to go. FML

Just because there are a lot of fish doesn't mean she can catch them.

No, just being realistic.

Don't forget the mercury. Japan has that mercury.

There's also plenty of sharks and dolphins in the sea. Not to mention trying to compete with sperm whales.....

.....many of those fish look like cute Japanese girls and your man wants to unpack his fishing rod...

Go to a koi pond for starters. Start with a small group and if that fails go commercial fishing in the ocean.

I like those private fishing holes where you pay to catch farm-raised catfish. Sure the fish look a little ratty, and the price is steep, but you can't beat experience! Those fish have had PLENTY of hooks in their mouths.

There may be plenty of fish in the sea, but you'll need bait to catch any. A nice rod also helps.

Is that all you got?

That's not very nice- you get a good trip out of it though!

Find a store in Japan, get a bunch of great clothes, wear them out and when men are falling over you remind your boyfriend that these Are his "true memories"

Actually, I'd like to know whether she paid for the trip. If she paid for the trip, then she just got suckered into buying a trip to Japan for this guy. If he paid... yeah, at least she got a trip to Japan out of it.

What a lousy, strawman excuse, hopefully you can still make the best out of your trip OP, without the douchebag. Why not leave him there to enjoy the scenery without strings attached?
hienzburgess 9
wow. he is ever so kind and considerate and gentlemanly. marry him.

At least you were able to get away from that asshole as soon as possible.

Damn, that's harsh! I don't see why he didn't break up with you BEFORE the trip.

Totally agree, now she has to deal with awkwardness for a month and a half or make expensive arrangements back home. What horrible timing, im sorry op :/
buddy51 23
Or OP could strike out on her own and leave her pudnozzle ex in her dust!!! Go OP and don't look back!!! Better that you know and enjoy yourself than wonder what's wrong and ruin the trip!!!

I just got done reading a FML where the bf broke up with her gf after their cruise and everybody crucified him.

Plenty of sexy ninjas in Japan, good luck OP
hienzburgess 9
OP doesn't want a ninja, she wants a tai-chi master.
xALEXx_fml 15
How do you know what she wants? I didn't read that in the FML
RedPillSucks 33
She want's it slow and steady, therefore, tai-chi.
uhhSavage 22
That's rough, OP. At least you didn't create those "false memories" though, right?
