Love, Relatable, Cheating and Break-ups: Worthless

Worthless

By SrslyD00d - 11/07/2023 10:00

Today, my long-distance boyfriend of three and a half years told me he was leaving me for a girl he met at his Uni, because, “I’m tired of jerking off all the time and I need intimacy.” He’s only known her for two months. So the three and a half years together meant nothing to him then? FML

Today, my long-distance boyfriend of 3 years uttered the heartbreaking words, “I met this girl here in my hometown and she’s really great and we fell in love with each other, I can’t do this anymore. We’re over.” I was planning on moving to his town after graduation this year. FML

The old "It's not you, it's me"

Today, my boyfriend of 3 months decided to end our long-distance relationship out of the blue, because he "lost interest" and "our families don't approve" and "you deserve better than me" and "I'm holding you back." He took my heart and shattered against the wall. FML

Today, my boyfriend of three years told me he isn't sure about me anymore. He said he saw a quote on Facebook that a guy can be with a girl for 10 years, then leave, and be with a girl for one and marry that girl. Meanwhile, I've been planning on the rest of my life with him in my head. FML

Today, I discovered that my boyfriend only stayed with me because he didn't want to "be alone," and now that he has a new girlfriend, apparently he won't be. We were together for three and a half years. FML

Trading places

Today, after 6 years of dating, 2 years of marriage, a daughter and another one on the way, my husband decided that he’s "not the one for me" and told me he was leaving for his co-worker who he’s only known for a few months. Apparently they’re more "meant to be." FML

Today, my long-distance boyfriend was at my house for a 10-day visit. He told me that we'd never spent so much time together, so he didn't know me well and now, he'd finally met the "real me". He doesn't like it. FML

Sucks but how many more years were you expecting it to last? 3.5yrs long distance / online-only is not a relationship. You had a pen pal..

OP, I am sorry but In person dating always trumps long distance relationships… At least he was honest enough to let you know instead of stringing you along any further.

Intimacy is a real physical and mental need. Maybe he was a bit rude in the way he said it but long-distance relationships are hard and complicated. And three years is a long time. Even this site has quite a few similar stories about long distance falling apart in the face of real day to day relationship

It was harsh how he went about it. but LDRs have a shelf life before someone needs to move or the relationship ends. 3.5 years is a long time to deprive yourselves of physical affection and sex and it sounds like he was actually faithful, which is commendable
