Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend and I went on vacation. We flew 2000 miles, got off the plane, got our bags and stood outside the airport for our ride. She looks at me and says, "I can't do this anymore." So, she broke up with me and flew back home. Now I'm on vacation alone. FML
Today, after I flew 16 hours across the world to see my girlfriend, on the fifth day of the holiday we broke up because she ended up telling me she "can't do distance." After all those hours of flying, we spent the last 3 days in the hotel room mostly crying, and I asked her face to face, "Why did you break me?" She left; I'm broken. FML
Today, in the middle of a hot air balloon ride with my girlfriend, I asked her to marry me. She said no. The rest of the ride was the most awkward two hours of my life. FML
Today, my wife and I had an argument serious enough to end our marriage, while overseas on vacation, with my whole family present. Three more days of awkward tension until we get to fly home and it all ends. FML
Today, I proposed. She immediately said no and then broke up with me. FML
Today, I flew cross-country to see my girlfriend of three years. Once I got there, she broke up with me. I was supposed to be staying for a month and now I have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I found out what it's like to drive seven hours home with a woman who just brutally rejected your marriage proposal. FML
Today, after my girlfriend telling me for years that she would marry me in a heartbeat, I finally proposed. She said no. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said she wanted to stay just friends. Not only did I get denied, apparently we're also "just friends." FML
Today, I landed in Hawaii for my vacation. I have a really bad ear infection, and to top my day off, my girlfriend blurted out mid-flight that she thinks we're not going to work out. Aloha! FML

So you broke up with her cause she said no? Maybe she just wasn't ready?

Just cause she doesn't want to marry you right now doesn't mean you had to break up?????

She said yes to the vacation. Now is your time to talk to her and ask her why she said no. If all else fails ignore her, go out clubbing/partying and find yourself someone else.

Better than proposing the first day of your vacation at least

If I had got a no when I proposed, I would break up. She said no, not right now, not later or after I'm XX years old, it was NO. The reason for dating is to find the one you're going to marry.

Just because someone says no does not mean that you have to break up with them. Some people don't like marriage, while others just aren't ready. Giving up every time someone says no shows that you aren't truly committed to them. Also dating has nothing to do with finding the one you want to marry. Some people do it just because they think the person is hot, they want sex, or to try some things out. You can't expect to want to marry EVERY single person you date.

I hate to break it to you, but dating has EVERYTHING to do with getting married. Cause here's a news flash for you. You will ONLY get married to someone your dating. Unless your parents are going to arrange it. And yes I could imagine marring everyone I dated. If not that's when you break up.

Not everyone wants to get married though. Dating is a commitment. Marriage is a higher level of commitment. Some people don't see the need to go higher in commitment to prove their love.

Then you break up cause you two are looking for two different things.

Why do people always break up with each other when one person doesn't want to get married? Some people are against marriage for whatever reason, or feel it would be too soon to get married. Just because you don't want to marry someone doesn't mean you don't want to be with them... Relationships are a team effort and people can't read minds, so communication is key. She might have had a completely legit reason for saying no, but they probably didn't talk about it and work it out. We don't even know how long OP and his ex had been dating. It could have been like a month and OP was just too hasty, who knows?

Some people try to propose within months of knowing their partner, thinking they are "the one". Not saying everyone does, but a lot of people do. I have a friend who proposed to his girlfriend only knowing her for a month, and they want to get married within a few weeks...

I guess that explains the high divorce rates...

Because a lot of people do want to get married and there's no point in staying with someone who doesn't. What kind of crazy person would stay with someone who rejected a proposal? Sheesh.

You don't have to break up, but if you have completely different plans for your life then breaking up is not a bad option.

Damn if I got asked that question I'd never say no. I'm sorry.

I'm not quite sure I follow your statement lol

Yeah, If you broke up with her for saying no, then you are not ready for marriage. Considering marriage is about partnership and helping each other through everything. I understand to a point not marrying her thinking it will never go anywhere but maybe you should think it through a bit more.

Aw, I think he was just trolling, trying to get a lot of "witty" replies. Maybe next time. :(

At least you didn't propose on the first day and break up and have to spend the whole vacation with your ex. At least it's just a few hours.
