Today, I finally had time to talk with my boyfriend. We had a nice long conversation, which included him telling me how much I meant to him and that we really need to see each other more often. He concluded the speech twenty minutes later with "Which is why I really hope we can stay friends". FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML
Today, my boyfriend wanted to tell me how much he loves me. He said a lot of wonderful things, such as not being able to live without me and hoping that I would want to live with him and marry him someday. He ended his loving speech with his ex-girlfriend's name instead of mine. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend, "We need to talk." He said, "I know". So we met after school, and he said he was OK with me breaking up with him, that he wasn't that into me either. He said all that before I could tell him that my parents wanted to meet him. FML
Today, I was spending time with my boyfriend for the first time in two weeks. I started tearing up and telling him that I feel like he never has time for me anymore. He responded with, "I'm hungry." 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 and I broke up. I said that at least I was always there for him when he needed me. He said "When did I need you?" FML
Today, my partner of 5 years and I sat down to talk because I expressed hope for a proposal in near future. He instead believed that we should wait, and talk about a potential future for us in another two years. FML
Today, I talked to my boyfriend yet again about being more verbal and apparent about showing affection towards me. It ended with me asking him how would I even know if he wants me. FML
Today, I sent my boyfriend a long and heartfelt message. He responded with "tl; dr". FML
Today, in the same sentence, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to "spend the rest of his life with me," and "I want to break up with you because I can't face your family." FML

So I must wonder... is this his way of breaking up, or of saying "If we DO break up, I hope we can still be friends"? Because either way sounds valid to me.

You disappoint me.... .... because I thought your name said "stupiddumbledore" :c

I thought that too!! But I agree with you - the OP actually got let down pretty gently, especially taking other break ups on this site into consideration. Boo-hoo. Your boyfriend said lots of nice stuff about you and that he wants to stay friends before breaking up with you. How awful!!

Wow. You really are a stupid dumb blonde, aren't you? She's hurt! Her boyfriend broke up with her. If it was you, it'd hit you hard. Even if he tried to make it better. I know how she feels! It does hurt, you know.

So now you are just friends with benefits. Anyone notice there seems like a disproportionate number of FMLs out of New Jersey? Coincidence? I think not... Lol.

Not really. What is your preoccupation with New Jersey, though? Are you on their "most wanted" list or something?
