Today, I told my boyfriend I was afraid he would no longer love me when he returned from basic training. Hoping he would reassure me his feelings wouldn't change and we'd still be together, he replied instead, "Shit happens." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend told me he loves me. Instead of saying it back, I had a panic attack. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I loved him. Being dumped wasn't the reaction I was expecting. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years sent me a text message saying, "Don't worry I'm gonna break up with her soon. Love you." FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad returned home from deployment. Being the grade A fucktard that I am, I got flustered and asked, "So um, did you make it back?" He looked me dead in the eyes and said completely deadpan, "No, obviously I died. Moron." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I love him. He replied by telling me to fuck off. FML
Today, my boyfriend called and asked me why I love him. I told him because he's always there for me and continues to put up with my bipolar disorder. He promptly said "not anymore" and hung up. FML
Today, I was in the car with my boyfriend. After telling him how much I loved him, he asked me to marry him. When I said yes and started crying, he said he wasn't sure if he really wants to get married. FML
Today, my boyfriend graduated from boot camp. After the ceremony, I rushed over and tried to jump into his arms. This would have been romantic if he was expecting it. Instead, he fell over and we crashed onto the floor in front of everyone. FML
Today, my boyfriend wanted to tell me how much he loves me. He said a lot of wonderful things, such as not being able to live without me and hoping that I would want to live with him and marry him someday. He ended his loving speech with his ex-girlfriend's name instead of mine. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me love is like a drug. I started tearing up because this is the most romantic he has been in a while. He then went on to break up with me, telling me that my "prescription is up". FML

I can understand why she'd be devastated. But, honestly, that's a ridiculous question to ask. If you honestly have to ask that type of question, be prepared for heartbreak, because you're not going to last. Have some trust in your relationship and support his decision. Don't make his leaving for basic training about you. Asking a question like that shows him that all you care about is whether or not he'll still care for you. It's not about you. It's about him. Stop being so selfish.

Sounds like a typical female to say something she doesn't mean to get a man to say something he doesn't mean..... YDI

don't worry. i was completely confident in our love when my boyfriend left for bootcamp and yet i asked the same questions. don't worry if its meant to be it will be. when he got back he proposed we're now married with a 2 n half month old daughter. chances are he will love you more when he gets back most guys the only thing that keeps them going is the letters and pictures you send them. :)

Well, shit does happen. What are you going to do? Dump him for saying that? FFS, don't be pathetic. At your obvious age, the chances are in two years time you'll move on to someone else anyway.

of course everyone's right in a way. I'm selfish for hoping I don't get hurt again; I'm stupid for my insecurity when all of our relationship's ups and downs prove correctly; I'll probably be the one to not feel the same; whatever the case, I don't have to deal with it until he comes back. As for now, I'm freaking enjoying my semi-single life.

So you're a manipulative butthead as this thread has played you out to be. Either he was really into you when this happened, loved you, and was being fatalistic when he said what he did... Or he never gave a damned in the first, and you were trying to fish for confessions of love right before he's going out on tour. Either way, you're a horrible person and you better not be in his reality when he does get back home. You're an urchin.

you are a terrible person. at first i could sympathize with you because my husband is going thru the same thing. maybe if you weren't such a selfish bitch, he would cry over you every night because of how much he misses you, which he probably will while you enjoy your "semi-single life". i hope he doesn't waste his paper writing you precious letters because you don't deserve them, i also hope he can find some off base tang once he gets to a.i.t. enjoy your single life because you don't deserve a solider.

Wow, what a horrible thing to ask a person while they're going through such a stressful time. I've been in his shoes, and he's totally right. Shit happens. You can become a totally different person when you graduate Basic Military Qualification and yeah, maybe he won't love you anymore because he realizes that you're not fit to be a military girlfriend/wife. He has balls to go out there and want to defend the country well guess what, you have to have balls to let him without being so insecure and whiney. Basic training is a very short and simple course in comparison to preparation and being on a tour. BTW I read your comment on how you think you're "semi-single" well you'll be one of those girlfriends who will, while your man is on tour, be screwing his buddy from batallion and when he gets back he'll find the house empty and he'll never hear from you again. You totally don't deserve any man (or woman) who has the guts to defend your country.
