Yeah and now op doesn't have to deal with a slacker ******** of a boyfriend
Yep, his loss
Right. I mean, even if he wasn't happy for her [which he should have been] he would still be able to spend OP's money. OP deserves better and now she has some extra money she won't be spending on her boyfriend.
This is why he's unsuccessful; he bails at even the slightest threat and he clearly hasn't learnt from that. Not only do you not need him due to his lack of support, but you don't want a partner who will run from everything challenging in life. I think you had a lucky escape.
Loser boyfriend is a loser. FYL, OP.
Buy a new boyfriend!
Men r afraid of strong woman :(. But congrats, woman should be strong and look after themselves thn to rely on a man, in this modern era.
The grammar is not strong with you I see.
Making generalizations is always bad.
It's kinda true...to an extent. Obviously not every guy is like this, but I have (sadly) known a couple of guys in the past who either wanted their girlfriends/wives to become housewives or wanted them to have menial "female" jobs so that they had to rely on their boyfriends/husbands for support. It's pretty sad that there are men in this day-and-age who are intimidated by women who are successful and/or independent.
I'd rather a girlfriend/wife who can hold her own when it comes to a job and money.
29 - That in itself is a generalisation.
You know... It would be different if they messed up punctuation and/or misspelled, but they messed up their plurals. In my experience, people who mess up like this are not speaking English as a first language. It's not an easy language to learn. If this is the case, I'm sorry about the assholes commenting above.
68- very true. This isn't just a website for the countries that speak English as their first language. So chill out, you can tell that it isn't their first language because of the type of errors. I don't like your generalization though 2.
37, I snorted when I read your comment, thank you! As for the sentence in question, I wonder if the person is learning English maybe?
I would prefer a strong woman who is capable of supporting herself, especially in these tough times.
If you think about it, some guys want the woman to rely on him because he wants to be her knight in shining armor more than wanting her to be submissive. I want to go through medical school and eventually be a doctor, but my boyfriend would rather me do nothing and be able to enjoy my life while he takes care of me. He supports me though, he just doesn't like that I picked such a demanding field because of all that I have to go through.
33, Why does it have to come down to fear? Why can't they just be more interested in a traditional role without actually having something against non traditional roles? It's not like the role of a housewife is demeaning or degrading, its an honourable living if you have the means to do so, and there are definite benefits to having a mother raising children rather than a TV or day care taking on the responsibility. I'm sure many people would actually be happy for the opportunity to do this, and are only limited by the cost of living. The guy seems insecure in himself in this story for sure, but there is nothing wrong with wanting a traditional family.
Fyl
Why is the room spinning
25 No idea, but it caused 3 to not see the FYL button
There's a button for that
OP: I just got an awesome promtion at my job! BF: **** YOU BITCH YOU'RE MORE SUCCESFUL THAN ME I'M LEAVING! OP: U mad, bro?
I've actually responded like that to my own fiancé when he got unreasonably angry over something ridiculous. The ensuring rage fit he had was totally worth it.
Classic! Being from NZ "you mad bro" is just part of the kiwi lingo... Same as "sweet as bro".
GothicAngel17 you win!
In the long-run, you're probably better off without him then.
What a ********
What a ********
What a...oh, I give up.
What a pee-pee head?
#47, what, the profanity? ****, yes, it is. And OP, your boyfriend is a ******* who doesn't deserve you. A man who is threatened by his girlfriend's/wife's success isn't much of a man. You are well rid of this creep. You deserve better.
More money for you, I suppose?
In a way this isn't an fml at all. It's like getting a double promotion in that now you're getting paid more and having to spend less.
Better that than him being jealous constantly with you. Takes a burden off your back.
It probably stings now to lose him over something so petty, but keep in mind that he was willing to dump you for such a petty reason and remember that you can do much better if you so choose. Rock that promotion and congratulations.
Dont sweat the petty things and dont pet the sweaty things.
LOL!!!!

Joke's on him. He lost a girlfriend and some financial support.
