Today, my girlfriend of over a year broke up with me. Two weeks ago she complained that I didn't act like I really loved her. I then became more involved and caring just for her to show my love. The reason she broke up with me? Because I was "suffocating her with clinginess." FML

Moral to the story; if your girlfriend says "you don't pay enough attention to me", buy her something shiny and tell her to shut her yapper.
