Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, my boyfriend called me to break up with me. Immediately after we hung up, I started crying hysterically. I thought I dialed my best friend, and as soon as the line picked up, I yelled, "That motherfucker broke up with me!" My now ex-boyfriend replied, "Yeah, I know I did." FML

You got mail
Today, I was making out with my boyfriend. When we took a break and went downstairs, he checked the mail. He had received a letter from his ex-girlfriend, which he opened in front of me. He then began sobbing on my shoulder and broke up with me. He still had to drive me home. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 3 years called my house even though I was with him at the time. He needed to talk to my mom. He asked her to break up with me for him. FML

Today, I told my dad that I broke up with my first serious girlfriend. He responded by blaring sad breakup songs as loud as he could throughout the house, just to see me "cry like a bitch". FML

Feelings
Today, my parents told me, after 30 years of marriage, that they are getting a divorce. I went to my boyfriend's apartment because I needed some comfort. While sobbing to him, he decided to dump me on the spot because my reaction to the news was "immature" and he wants an "adult" relationship. FML

Crossed purposes
Today, I told my boyfriend, "We need to talk." He said, "I know". So we met after school, and he said he was OK with me breaking up with him, that he wasn't that into me either. He said all that before I could tell him that my parents wanted to meet him. FML

Stuck on amber
Today, I went to see my boyfriend with the intention of breaking up with him. Instead I discovered that he lost his job today and has to move back in with his parents. I can't bring myself to dump someone who's already crying about his horrible day. Now I have to comfort my soon-to-be ex. 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

It's ok for a real man to cry every now and the.ln. I cry whenever I hear Nikki Minaj because she's famous and I'm not.

Sounds like he's a bit too immature to be in a relationship.

Oh, would everybody stop posting crap about how he should grow a pair? Guys are allowed to have emotions too! Or at least, they should be ...

Yea but you don't go calling your ex girlfriends parents because she breaks up with you.

Wow! He clearly respects your decisions if he's trying to get your parents to feel sorry for him and MAKE you date him Honestly why would you want to date someone who doesn't want to be with you? What a self centred creep Ps a similar thing happened to me once- he called my mother and threatened to commit suicide

Wow OP, you dumped him, he's crying out of pain, and you expect us to say "F*ck YOUR life????" Yikes, you have quite your fair share of entitlement issues and are a little narcissistic. It's no surprise that you two's relationship didn't last- my estimate is that no guy is ever going to be good enough for you. If a guy is willing to commit, I bet you will always feel "uggghhh there's someone better out there who will at least talk to me or hook up with me" and then go after him; in a continual cycle. If you do ever get the maturity to just commit and settle down with somebody around your level, and overlook his flaws just like he overlooks yours, then I commend you.

Why did you break his heart?

Most people are upset over break ups, and he's allowed to cry just like any other human. I'd find it worst if he wasn't upset, at least you know he cares about you.

I kinda think that's sweet.

Maybe they were in a very serious relationship and its hard for him to get over it?

Usually the sobbing part is the other way around

I don't know why everyone is judging him so badly, my sister broke up with her bf and we've all been hanging out with her ex, we feel sorry for him, he's such a nice guy, Maybe her family have grown close to him.

You gave him your parents number?.. You definitely deserved this

Because it's apparently impossible that OP's parents and ex could have actually exchanged their numbers themselves. And I don't understand how OP would "deserve it" even if she was the one that initially gave him their number (which, if it even happened, probably occurred BEFORE they broke up). OP gives no indication that she even gave it to him, so way to assume things.
