Today, my boyfriend of three years who I helped through drug rehab and find employment in my office left me for someone else. His explanation was that now that his "head is not clouded with chemicals" and he "makes decent money", he wants to settle down with someone worthy of him. FML

Break up with him. Because then He won't have anything better, OR you. You deserve so much more than a guy who "settled" for you. I personally don't believe in settling. That is basically giving up an being with someone you don't love. If you love them, then its not "settling". FYL, OP. This guys wasted two years. I'm sorry. You're awesome, OP! Keep looking for that perfect someone!

You should "accidentally" call him a shallow jerk and "accidentally" say you're through with him. ;)

It can be a compliment but the word "settle" is what makes it f***ed up. If he had just said that he cant find anyone better than u then it would have been a different story...

It's insane how all female commenters are the ones saying "dump his ass" this that and all the male commenters are saying that he truly meant that statement in a good way. Clear example of how girls manipulate men's words to make it seem like men are horrible pigs when in fact it's probably the girl that's not good enough for him. Sounds like a sincere statement to me, sorry girls but fantasy prince charming only exists in Disney, open your eyes and heart a little bit.

It might have been a compliment, but you have to admit the way it was worded was really crappy. 'Settle' was not a good word to use in my opinion.

True, but based on their overall relationship she should've been smart enough to realize that words sometimes come out in a way that can be misinterpreted and that he most likely didn't mean it in that way. Not really an excuse to break up with him unless she truly didn't love him or he cheated or ****** her over in some way or another.

Exactly, 77. My girlfriend,(soon to be ex) wrote this when she completely changed around what I even said to her. Now she gets the chance to write an fml about us not being together. -__-

This reminds me of an episode on "How I met your mother". They said that in every relationship there is a "reacher" and a "settler". Guess we know which one OP is!
