Love: Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend made me breakfast in...

Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend made me breakfast in bed, then we went out shopping, had a picnic, watched a good romcom, had a fancy dinner, and ended the day with great sex. And when the clock struck twelve, he dumped me. FML

Today, it's my birthday. I woke up to a text message from my boyfriend, breaking up with me. When I commented on his impeccably bad timing, he admitted he'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML

So special

Today, my boyfriend gave me the best birthday ever, then promptly broke up with me at midnight to get back with his ex, because he "didn't want to ruin my special day." FML

Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend had promised that the day would belong to me. But no, I had to drive 80km forth and back to pick him up from work, then he took pictures with his new camera lens, then he decided what to eat, demanded a massage, and then he just fell asleep. Happy birthday to me. FML

Today, it was my birthday. I spent all day in bed, sick with the flu. My boyfriend then broke up with me by text, because he didn't want to risk getting sick by doing it in person. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me over breakfast. In the afternoon I got to smile at him prettily for hours because he was the photographer in a session neither of us could get out of. 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, it's my birthday. My boyfriend told me he was too busy studying for finals, but that he'd take me out another day instead. He later drunk-dialled me from a party demanding a lift back home. FML

Deception

By Anonymous - 12/09/2009 16:21 - United States

Today, I threw an elaborate surprise birthday party for my boyfriend of four years. He thought we were going to a quiet dinner but when we arrived, thirty of his friends jumped out and surprised him. Instead of kissing me to thank me, he broke up with me because of how easily I had lied to him. FML

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend, since we weren't getting along. When I got home, I remembered that today is his birthday. Him and all our friends now think I'm a total bitch. FML

Oh that sucks OP. Happy birthday! On one hand he at least made it a happy ending... but I still think it's messed up to pretend like everything is great when it's not. I'm sorry OP

Yes and no. I agree he made it a good day. And it was thoughtful to not dump her on her actual birthday. On the other hand, I personally will feel crushed from being dumped if I don't see it coming. Usually break ups happen after some thought. I think OP is more hurt that she didn't expect it.

Dump you or ran away leaving one glass slipper?

Maybe this is the Cinderella story, but about the man instead. He broke up with you at Midnight and ran off so you didn't find out about his true self and the one good day his fairy godfather gave him. Did he leave behind a glass shoe? Something to think about.....

Sorry for your loss OP, on the other hand he did go out of his was to make your last day special. Most guys wouldn't do that.

He was trying to be a gentleman about it. He wasnt building op up just making her happy on her bday. I doubt he actually did it when the clock struck 12 he probably waited a bit then told her. thats class.

It was her birthday. Besides who says he initialized it?

49- And? It's not essential to have sex with someone you're planning on dumping just because it's their birthday. Even if he wasn't the one who initiated it, he could've come up with an excuse. I can understand the picnic, breakfast, shopping, etc. but having sex with someone who's oblivious to the fact that you're planning on breaking up with them in a few hours? Dick move.

He just made OP's feelings for him stronger before he did it. That isn't any nicer than just being honest and giving her the chance to make plans with others instead.
