Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML
Today, my boyfriend invited me over to his house. I was planning on breaking up with him while at his house. Turns out, it was a proposal party. I'm now engaged because it would've been rude to say no in front of his family that had flown in. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house, intending to break up with him. Instead, I was greeted by his whole family throwing me a surprise party. I had to sit and listen to his whole family talk about what a great couple we are and how we're going to last forever. FML
Today, wanting to break up with my boyfriend, I invited him to dinner with my parents. I was sure they'd hate him, which would give me the excuse I needed. They ended up loving him, and now they won't stop mentioning marriage. FML
Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML
Today, I went over to my boyfriend's house to break up with him. When I got there, I got sent on a scavenger hunt that ended with him proposing to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. I was about to call my parents and tell them we're getting married, but they called me first to announce they're getting a divorce. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML
Today, at a restaurant, I happily watched as my boyfriend of three years got down on his knees and proposed to me. Before I could say yes and hug him, a girl flung herself at him, kissed him and shouted, "Yes!" With us still highly confused, she then ran away. FML
Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. FML

Aw. I feel bad for him. I really don't know how two people in a relationship can be on such different pages. Couldn't you at least have hinted about breaking up?

That's awkward. :/ Did you reject him? & #3, maybe they were on the same page. Maybe they both felt it was time for a change. She felt the solution was something new, and he felt it was taking the relationship to the next level, who knows.

u r ridiculous. why must ppl insist on breaking up right after a date? its especially rude to get a meal off of them and then breaking up with them....seriously, i hope thats not what was on ur mind...FHL, what an embarrassment he must have had. "will u marry me?" "oh uh......i gotta be someplace...bye!" *silence* yeah, sure, whatever, theres no nice/easy way of breaking up with someone. i can relate to ur poor ex-bf. i'll bet that experience will haunt him in all future relationships to come. hopefully u'll learn to break up b4 the nxt date is planned...

It's amazing how all of you are assuming the OP was trying to squeeze a meal out of him before kicking him to the curb. The OP might have payed for a part of or the whole meal. To the OP: That is so awkward. I hope you both through it without too much mess.

Oh my! "stfu"! You've clearly shown that you're the better of us! Explain to me how the "best time" is AFTER the meal, which she knew was coming up. Go ahead, give it a shot. Tell me, oh brilliant sage of the zomgnetterwebz, how waiting until after her ex had bought her a meal would be a better time to break up with him rather than ANY OTHER TIME THAT WEEK. Come on, small minded one, give it a shot. Hell, I'll even give you a starter: Breaking up with her boyfriend after he bought her dinner was the best time because: (Fill in the blank!)
