Today, I was sitting in the coffee shop where my boyfriend and I used to go before he broke up with me about a week ago. I was missing him and wishing he was there, when all of a sudden this 14-year-old kid comes up to me and says, "He's not coming, you may as well go home." FML

Today, I was at a coffee shop, when a middle-aged guy called me a "two-timing whore", dumped his coffee on me and walked out in tears. I'm 14 and I have no idea who he was. FML

Today, I came home early, and my boyfriend's car was in my driveway. Inside, he was talking to my parents. He walked right past me and left. My mother then says, "He wanted me to tell you it's over." FML

Today, my boyfriend told me to stay home, because he wanted to come by to give me a birthday surprise. Later on, he came by, posted a note, rung the bell and left. The note was a break up note. FML

Today, my boyfriend of two years broke up with me because I was "letting myself go". When I told the little girl I babysit in the afternoons why I was so upset, she looked at me for a moment before saying, "Well, I definitely can't blame him." FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. I came back home in tears, and eventually told my dad what was wrong. He immediately excused himself to the living room, where I heard him tell my mum, "She's gone all Taylor Swift again." FML

Today, I was stuck home with a cold when my boyfriend's best friend sent me a text saying, "You doing alright?" I replied, thinking he was talking about my health. He replied, "I'm surprised you're taking the breakup so well." What breakup? Mine. He was ten minutes too soon. FML

Did you see this kid before? Like did he work there and might have seen you two together? Or was he just some punk who thought it would be funny to say and it turned out to be a strange coincidence....?

A wise man once told me, 'Be honest to get the girl.' Turns out I was a little to honest...OP isn't dating me is she...

Perhaps she orders a hot coffee to "accidentally" spill on this punk.

Eh... sounds to me like the punk thought she was getting stood up, rather than (metaphorically) awaiting her ex's return. Anyone else think this?

#4 She needs to move on. Listen to the kid's words, it's only tough love as they call it

She doesn't need to dwell on the past either. If it's to the point a 14 year old is thinking more clearly than you, you know it's time to really go home. Good luck though :)

On one hand, yes, the best advice is to not hold onto what you don't have any longer, and move on. On the other hand, that felt rather rudely delivered.
