Today, I got the, "It's not you, it's me" speech for the third breakup in a row. I'm beginning to think that they may not be entirely telling me the truth. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me using the "it's not you, it's me" speech with a slight variation, saying instead, "It's not me, it's you. And yes, I meant to say it that way round." FML
Today, I got broken up with by someone I wasn't even dating. They had gone radio silent for two weeks and just popped in to say it was "better to be honest" instead of radio silence. FML
Today, a guy I had developed feelings for broke things off with me, giving me a version of the “it’s not you, it’s me” line. This was the first person I had liked/wanted to date in almost 8 years. I think I’m destined to be alone. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because "we don't communicate enough". She got her friend to tell me this for her. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. I've heard some weird reasons before, but "My future self told me to" is a new one. FML
Today, my psychiatrist of 6 years suddenly and out of nowhere told me I need to see someone else. She gave me the equivalent of the "it's not you, it's me" speech. Actually her assistant told me via email. I basically got broken up with by someone I was paying a lot of money to talk to. FML
Today, a person who I've been talking to for months told me they were in a relationship with someone else. I work with this person and see them almost everyday. To top it off, they told me this over text. FML
Today, I had to leave my boyfriend because he was unfaithful. This is the third time in as many years. I'm starting to think I have "Cheat on me" written on my face. FML
Today, I received a text saying, "I don't think we should be friends anymore. You're terribly depressing and you make everyone unhappy" followed by, "Oops, wrong person!" and then by, "Sorry, it really is for you". FML
Today, I had to break up with my girlfriend twice. Apparently, the first time she thought I was kidding. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Go back to them and ask them in all honesty what it was so that it can help you improve. Good luck. You'll find someone soon. Keep your head up.

Oh that stings! But trust me, the "Its not ME, it's YOU" speech is no better. I got one today. Via text. After 3 1/2 years. And he also happens to owe me $200. So ya' know, it could be worse right?

Months too late, cliche reference inserted. You're better off, you don't need to be with someone who doesn't want you!

I'm sorry OP. That speech is dumb.

Gotta love that. That ranks up there with "You're a nice guy, but I just want to be friends"

That saying is a nice way to say "sorry, I'm not attracted to you". Some people don't get it tho and think others should date them just because they're "nice". You pick friends that are nice. For partner you want someone that is your friend (unless it's a hook up) AND to whom you're attracted to/in love.
