Today, after laying down to sleep, my boyfriend seemed like he was having trouble trying to say something. After asking what was wrong a couple of times, he said, "I don't want to do this anymore" and got up and left. I had planned on telling him I love him. Saved myself some embarrassment I guess. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered that I sometimes talk in my sleep. After spending an amazing, perfectly romantic night with my boyfriend, I woke up to him telling me to leave. I have no idea what I could have said. He still won't talk to me. FML
Today, while cuddling with my boyfriend, he got up and said he needed to go home because he was tired and just wanted to relax and watch TV. That's what we were doing. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. I called him about two minutes after, and he'd already fallen asleep. FML
Today, my boyfriend called me to come over because we "needed to talk." Going down the stairs, I tripped and fell. I woke up from unconsciousness with a hurting leg and my boyfriend standing over me. Just as I was about to smile and ask for a kiss, he said, "Maybe we should take a break" and left. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I love him. He replied by telling me to fuck off. FML
Today, I tried to talk to my boyfriend about our communication problems. He fell asleep. FML
Today, at four in the morning, I was asleep with my boyfriend beside me. I started yelling at him in my sleep and broke up with him. When I woke up, he was gone. FML
Today, I finally got up the courage to talk to my four-year boyfriend about how insecure I've been feeling in our relationship recently, and how I needed his support while I try to get my self-esteem back on-track. He fell asleep mid-conversation. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years took me out to breakfast. We were eating and he kept on staring at me like he was thinking of something really important. I thought he was going to say, "I love you". So I told him to, "say it already." Turns out he was thinking of a way to dump me. FML
Today, my boyfriend called and asked me why I love him. I told him because he's always there for me and continues to put up with my bipolar disorder. He promptly said "not anymore" and hung up. FML

You not only saved yourself from embarrassment, but you also saved yourself from possibly being in a relationship long-term where only one person has feelings. If you would have told him that you love him, he might have stayed just to stay. It's good that he was honest, but it came at a bad time for you. Hope you find someone that feels the same way!

I feel sad for you. Too bad love didn't go both ways this time. However better earlier then 10 years in a marriage to find out.

I don't mean it bad but you are in bed with your BF and not said u love him?? Maybe he could not handle being in a relationship where his partner could not even admit loving him?

I am just assuming, but if she hasn't said it yet maybe it's a newish relationship. This isn't the 1800's people do sleep together and consider themselves in a relationship these days without saying the word. I was 3 months in with my now fiance before I said it, we've now been together 10 years.

I'm kinda lost because I have said this before when being hit with more "whats wrongs" than i could handle. Everyone assumes they broke up, did you?

Maybe one I would have the nerve to tell my husband the truth like the way your boy did . I feel sorry for you

Not meaning to be rude, but why do you need to plan saying 'I love you' to someone who is your BF already? How this FML (and not only this one tbh) is written, it seems that telling him that is something quite special, but doesn't the fact that you are in a relationship with him implicate that you love him? Of course, I told my GF I loved her numerous times and I think it is important to do so, but starting from day 1 and this didn't need any planning and it also didn't feel special or as a big deal to tell her that. It is a feeling that developed when still dating and not in a relationship yet. Without that feeling she wouldn't have become my GF to begin with.

Some people have different ways of getting into a relationship with someone. I was friends first with an ex of mine and we said we had crushes on each other right before we officially started dating. It wasn't until 4 months of being boyfriend/girlfriend that I said I loved him which he had already previously told me he loved me. I waited so long because I wanted to make sure I loved him at the time and take the relationship slowly.

It's not common in America to say that before dating or even immediately after dating. I don't know where you're from, but the best thing I can say is it's a feeling that develops over time and becomes something special. You don't love someone the same on day one as you do 2 years in.

Be honest with her. It's better to tell her than let her struggle in a one-sided relationship.

Well, it's better to be separated if his heart wasn't really in it. But FYL for the cold break up. Taking the time to really talk to the person and let them know why you're breaking up can make it easier to get a sense of closure and move on. Unless he did, and the wording was just for dramatic effect. In which case, still FYL, but more for the general suckiness of the situation. I hope time will mend your wounds :(

My boyfriend did this to me as well. But, we had just had sex and I was still naked in his bed. I was the one who left, as we were at his place. He then showed up at my house that same evening and regretted it all. I still haven't 100% gotten over it, to be honest.

Ouch. Very sorry to hear that. Better now than later I suppose?
