Sweet relief

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff

Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. She was ecstatic. Apparently, she'd been trying to figure out how to break up with me for the past four months. FML

It sounds like two self-aware people who both recognized this wasn't a good match. Win-win for everyone.

Eh, easy break up then. I guess it kind of sucks to find out she hasn't wanted you for that long, but at least your split won't be a drawn-out process.

I don't see this as an FML, unless you actually wanted her to be upset.

I had this happen with my boyfriend. It's not fun... Sorry OP.

Sounds like you both got what you wanted, and can move on...

Honestly, I don't see a problem here.

What it may mean is that he may have liked her but she wasn't into it and had probably not been giving 100% to the relationship and so he saw it withering and after 4 months of trying everything to make it work, he finally concluded it was impossible to fix. He spent 4 months pouring his energy in since she didn't have the courage to just end it and likely subconsciously manipulated him into ending it for her. (Making him suffer through those 4 months)

What did you want her to do, cry her eyes out and beg you to stay while you say "It's not you, it's me" and walk away?

Win-win no fighting and no psyco girlfriend am I right?
