Today, my boyfriend, and best friend, had baked a cake, and wouldnt tell anyone who it was for. When I asked he said I'd know soon. He met me after class to break up with me and offered me the cake to make me feel better. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend invited me over, so I went, not thinking anything of it. To my surprise, he broke up with me. I was pretty upset, and as I was leaving his mom handed me a box. When I got home, I opened it. His mom had baked me a break-up cake. FML
Today, someone brought cake to class. Trying to get some attention from the guy I have a crush on, I asked if he wanted my piece of cake. He accepted it, and then offered it to another girl. 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 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 had my sweet sixteen party. All my best friends came to the microphone to make a little speech. When my boyfriend came to do his, he broke up with me. FML
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, 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
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. I had only been dating him for about a month. Thinking he wouldn't take it very hard, I invited him over so I could tell him in person. Little did I know he was going to start crying on my couch and not leave for 5 hours. FML
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, I went to the doctor, only to find out I can no longer eat chocolate, my favorite food. When I got home, my boyfriend took the chocolate cake I'd been eating from the fridge, sat down in front of me, and ate the whole thing without breaking eye contact. FML

Why do women (in the comments) act like a guy breaking up with you means he's a douchebag. Nowhere does it say that he was an asshole, or broke up with her to **** her best friend. All it says is he broke with her and made her a cake to help her feel better. SO WHAT! Would you rather him stayed with her until he was so unhappy that he did resort to ******* her best friend?!

At least he didn't lead you on, right? And you got some cake =)

I'm hoping that he was really, really trying to be thoughtful. Knowing that you would be hurt, he tried to show he still cared about you. I'm sorry it didn't make you feel any better, and in fact seems to have made things worse for you. Just goes to show there aren't really that many ways to break up easily. (Which reminds me: has anyone seen that episode in Coupling where the person being dumped simply doesn't accept?)

All of you people who are telling the OP to kick him in the nuts or throw the cake in his face.... Congratulations, you've all proven you've the maturity of two year olds. The guy probably felt bad about having to break up with her, so he made her a cake in an attempt to help her feel better. Anyone who calls him a douchebag is about as intelligent as a tree stump. Yes, break ups suck. But they happen- it's an inevitability. OP, be happy that this boyfriend at least cared enough to offer you that small gesture.

Honestly. Just because he broke up with her doesn't make him a douchebag. people break up all the time, it happens. maybe the relationship wasn't working out, in which case, its good that he ended it. and if someone were going to break up with me, I'd rather get a cake out of it :)

I think you meant "ex-boyfriend" and "ex-best friend".

I don't get why everyone's saying he's such a douche...I mean, ya it sucks that he broke up with you and all, but there's no sense in continuing a relationship if it's not working out. Better that he dump you now rather than pretending to like you and leading you on for a few more months before it finally comes out. And seriously, at least he gave some serious thought to your feelings about it. I mean, seriously he baked you a cake to try to soften the blow? That shows real heart. He may not be in love with you anymore, but clearly he still cares a lot about you as a friend. I can think of a lot worse ways he could have gone about it.
