Today, after many attempts at getting my girlfriend to ride the bus to see me rather than taking Uber, she finally did. She ended up meeting a man who convinced her that she should break up with me. She listened. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend sent her new boyfriend over to my place to break up with me for her. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to eat out at a restaurant. We chatted for an hour, and it all seemed to be going well, until she told me that she wanted to break up. Waiting for the bill and driving her home was the most painful time of my life. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's parents. Her father looked me up and down, said, “No” then went back to his TV. My girlfriend immediately broke up with me and threw me out. I even had to get a really expensive taxi home, because we’d driven in her car and I had no idea what part of the city I was in. FML
Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his mom, but she decided I was “unsuitable.” I hoped he’d be on my side. Nope, he just accepted her word as law, broke up with me, and pushed me outside. He'd driven me there, so I had to find a bus in a city I’ve never been to, in the dark, without a coat. FML
Today, I decided to break up with my girlfriend. I sat her down and gave her the speech. She broke down in tears and said, “Why does every guy always abandon me? Why am I never good enough?” I felt so bad for her that I took back the breakup and we’re still together now. FML
Today, I walked 6 miles to see my girlfriend. After 5 and a half miles, she broke up with me because I never visit her. FML
Today, my girlfriend’s friend decided she wanted to tell her that I was flirting with other girls, just so we would break up. It worked. FML
Today, I confronted my girlfriend after catching her cheating on me. After she finished crying, she had the brass balls to say she'd understand if I needed a couple of weeks to forgive her, and asked me for bus fare so she could go tell the other guy they could only be friends now. FML
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. Driving her home, we got stuck in a construction zone. I waited half an hour with with my ex-girlfriend bawling her eyes out in the passenger seat as I watched the traffic lady eat her lunch. FML
Today, I got the earlier bus to avoid my ex after a painful breakup. He had the same idea. FML

If a random stranger could convince her she most likely was already thinking it.

Friend, if she could so easily be convinced by a total stranger, then perhaps are she shouldn't have been your girlfriend in the first place. But don't worry about it. Shit happens, and sometimes relationships come and go. Since I, myself, have had a few shitty relationships in the past, I can say there's always someone else out there.

What I want to know is why her choice of transport mattered so much to you in the first place.

uber isn't a thing where i live but maybe its because as far as i know. anyone can be a driver for uber. went to the states for my honeymoon a few months back and me and my wife dared your bus system over uber. we got lost.

Finances? If she had complained about the cost to come see him I could understand him trying to convince her to save money... Either way though, sounds like it was a very weak relationship

I mean public transport is probably way cheaper than uber

OP was worried that their GF would be attacked, cheat, or that the scenario that happened in the post would happen.

Probably arbitrarily hates Uber now cuz of the Trump thing.

He was most likely just being considerate about her spending so much to come see him and wanted her to save some money.

Crazy people ride the bus. I like to think I'm normal, but I do occasionally ride the bus.

You dodged a bullet, buddy!

It may hurt at the moment but you haven't lost anything. If that is all it took for her to break with you then she is not worth having.

Was he trying to get in her pants, or was he just stirring up shit?

Time to ride the bus and get back out there, who knows maybe you'll steal someone else's girl

She had to ride a bus to see you rather than you picking her up and taking her out? No wonder she is gone.

Not everyone is made of money or owns a car. And riding a bus is a standard part of everyone's life if they live in a city. For the first few times with a girlfriend it would be nice to drive and pick them up, but when it's been a while it's sometimes better to have them come your way instead.
