Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because he says, "There's too much of an age gap between us" and that it makes him "feel like a pedophile". He's only four months older than I am. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 4 months broke up with me, saying things are moving "too fast". All I did was tell my 3 year-old that my boyfriend's parents are his new grandma and grandpa. FML

Mid-life crisis

By Glenn - 08/04/2023 18:00

Today, I had to break up with my boyfriend because we’re not on the same page. He doesn’t want to get married or have kids because he “wants to enjoy his youth” and “you’re only young once, don’t waste it!” He’s 38. FML

Sounds reasonable…

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me after 4 perfectly happy years together. The reason? He had a dream in which his dead former girlfriend from when he was 13 told him she still loved him. He now believes his dead childhood sweetheart is trying to contact him and I'm "in the way of their love." FML

Today, my boyfriend and I went to the local park for some romantic time together. By the time we left, I'd been called a pedo and a cradle robber, and been given several dirty looks. I'm 31. My boyfriend is 30 and just very baby-faced. FML

Is he a year old and you're eight months old? After that, the 4 month age difference should be acceptable.

Next time you get a boyfriend, don't shave so completely.

I'm sorry. Like the many of times Ive said on previous posts he was just looking for a reason to dump you... I'm sorry he's not man enough to give you the real reason. Either that or he's just really that stupid

Maybe he likes older women for that same reason? Don't get me wrong it does sound like a lame excuse but if you're the youngest he's ever dated then it could be at least somewhat justified? 4 months still seems completely trivial though...
