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

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

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.

How does that make your life suck? (Emphasis on "your")

The bonus here is your ex's lady parts are coming along nicely. I think you made the right choice.

Don't insult women by using "lady parts" as something negative. Call him a crybaby, but using "lady parts" as a simile for being childish is both sexist and not in the least comforting when you are speaking to a woman, ergo OP.

Oh god mine did that too. Needless to say my parents were pissed that he called them.

Something my ex use to do to make people feel sorry for him. My ex hurt me in an unimaginable way and he went crying to his parents when he was in the wrong and they would yell at me and call me names. It sucked.

Sucks for him but that made me LOL.

I don't agree with 95% of the comments here. It sounds weird in the context of an FML, sure, but when I broke up with my ex, her dad actually called me. I was extremely close with the family and her father was a mentor to me. Developing relationships with the family of your significant other can have heart wrenching consequences when things come to an end.

That's rather heartless. Guys can't cry or be close to another's family? Damn.
