Today, I got a sweet promotion at my job. Instead of being happy and celebrating with me, my boyfriend broke up with me because he is jealous that I'm more successful than he is. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my now ex-boyfriend begged me not to take an amazing promotion at my job. He reasoned that he’d be emasculated and humiliated if he had a girlfriend that outranked and out-earned him. I had to celebrate alone as my whole family lives in another state. Congrats to me but also, FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, right after I turned down an amazing job opportunity in another location, just so I could be with him. FML
Today, my boyfriend was fired. After breaking the news, he also broke up with me. Apparently, his boss had a creepy crush on me and would give my boyfriend bonuses for bringing me to company events and, occasionally, out on the boss's personal boat. Looks like I am no longer useful. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend cheated on me with his boss so he could get a promotion and "provide" for us. This from the guy who made me quit my job because he said he made enough money to support us both. FML
Today, after I helped get my boyfriend get a new job, he thanked me by dumping me for some whore who works there. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, my boyfriend's proposal speech somehow ended with him breaking up with me. FML
Today, my girlfriend who trained me at the job we both work at received a promotion, which left a spot for advancement. I was chosen for the position, and now the guy she's been cheating on me with is training me. Congrats. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she believes I "jinxed" her chances of getting the job she wanted. FML
Today, I received a mass email from my boss saying we had a position open at the daycare I work at. I knew my boyfriend was looking for a job so I insisted he apply. Later at work, my boss takes me into her office and tells me my employment is being "terminated". My boyfriend is replacing me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Super stab in the dark, but I almost want to venture to guess that you're both kinda young. I know, I know. Maturity and age don't always go hand in hand. But, if you are young, then this is especially petty. I would sigh myself into a coma if you happened to be talking about a retail job promotion to 'team leader' or some crap, versus his minimum wage job heating up food at some mall buffet. On the flip, allow me to possibly provide an unpopular view of the opposing side. While I agree with most everyone that this is just petty and stupid, I still like to hypothesize. What if he went to college, got excellent grades, is struggling to find a better job, has paid his dues, and is working in a field where he's overworked and underpaid, like IT support or something, and is a victim more of circumstances than laziness? All while you got some sweet promotion for a job you're not qualified for, and all because of nepotism or cleavage? And let's also say that your ego then blew out of proportion, in direct contrast to the deficit of effort you put toward your promotion. He'd still be an idiot for dumping you, but in that god-forbid-we-actually-consider-the-possibility scenario we could at least sympathize with him a tad.
