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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, I was working at the daycare. As I left with my boyfriend, a kid came up to us and said that my boyfriend could do way better. 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, as he'd realised that life is really short, and he's got to enjoy with his friends. 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
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. How? He invited my mother to his house for coffee with his parents, and told her. She then had to come home and tell me I’d been dumped. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. As I was leaving his house, I heard him shout, "Hey! Wait! Sweetie, get back here!" He was talking to his cat who'd run out the door behind me. 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....?

This has happened a few times to some friends. It's a joke for kids to walk up to people who are sitting alone because there's a chance they are waiting for someone

Oh dear. Hang on. Try to keep yourself busy and don't forget to wear a smile. As for the boy; be glad he noticed your distress.

This is why kids suck. Love em to death, but they suck SO much.

I know it hurts, but maybe you should go somewhere else until the pain has dissipated somewhat. He broke up with you and is probably moving on; you should do the same.

Or maybe he already moved on. It took me all of one day to get over my ex of several years after I dumped him, mostly because he was a huge jackass and I'd already rehearsed our parting in my head so many times. Either way, you're right. Even if the ex hasn't fully processed the breakup, there was a reason he broke up with her, probably a good one or we'd have seen a previous FML from OP. She definitely needs a change in routine until the loss isn't as fresh.

It still hurts me to listen to anything by Red Hot Chili Peppers, just because my first boyfriend was so into their music. Of course, I'd never consider going back to my first boyfriend, and I've completely lost all interest in the guy, but I still can't bring myself to listen to that particular band. Sometimes, things like that can't be forgotten (in this case, avoiding this coffee shop would be good for OP); maybe OP could avoid coffee shops altogether until the stinging subsides, or she could find a good tea shop, instead.

That boy has a good memory...knows faces well... Perhaps return with your new boyfriend or find a different coffee shop...

I like this quote op: "Just because you miss someone doesn't mean you need them back in your life. Missing is just a part of moving on." I know your heart hurts right now, but every day will get a little better. Don't let someone be your priority when you are just his option.

Good advice from the boy, yes. But it didn't had to be delivered from him, especially if he didn't know OP - then it's just harsh and rude.

That kid has some serious deduction skills
