Today, I got an email saying the gift I'd ordered for my boyfriend of three years had been sent. I ordered it a couple of days ago because I thought he needed cheering up. I guess he found a better way of doing so himself; he broke up with me yesterday. FML

Today, my boyfriend of a over a year broke up with me. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't written him a long letter about how much I love him, and that I'm so glad we're together and so glad that he promised he would always be there. He'll be getting it in a few days. FML

Today, I was making out with my boyfriend. When we took a break and went downstairs, he checked the mail. He had received a letter from his ex-girlfriend, which he opened in front of me. He then began sobbing on my shoulder and broke up with me. He still had to drive me home. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a $100 gift card for Victoria's Secret. Suspicious, I checked the receipt he'd left in the bag. Turns out he had bought it during the two weeks we were broken up for some other girl who rejected him, so decided to give it to me instead. FML

Hold on to the gift, and give it to someone else later.

Just let him know about the inopportune timing so he doesn't get the retarded idea that you're "a crazy ex" or some stupid thing.

You can always give it to me

I've always heard that three years is the breaking point for a lot of couples. Sorry things didn't work out for you but I doubt a gift would have made the difference if there were other problems in the relationship.

#15, unless it was an iPad-controlled quad-copter with an HD-video camera. That's so awesome it could make any other problem disappear.

I can't help but wonder what the gift is. A vial full of blood? A collection of famous people's toenail clippings? He'll probably love anything like that so don't bother canceling the order. In fact, he'll probably want you back when he sees it.

Hopefully that gift is to your address. Don't want him thinking you're trying to get him back by sending gifts.

Yes there is, but some people don't actually read the whole paper of information. They just care about if they received the item yet.

Save it or return it and let him go. Even though it's been 3 years, you'll find someone else.

That is an awesome gesture from your part. I'm sorry he didn't appreciate you. Get your money back and get/do something for yourself. Best wishes OP. :)
