Today my boyfriend of 8 years told me he has doubts about our relationship. When asked why he suddenly feels different towards me, he said my dad informed him I am a handful like my mum and he should never compromise anything for his own happiness. I don't speak to my dad. I think it's over. FML

I'm sorry OP, but if your boyfriend feels differently about you just because someone said something, he's really not worth you being heartbroken.

You've been together for 8yrs, shouldn't your bf know you don't speak to your father, and that he is clearly not a good source to get advice and information about you from? I'm sorry OP, I know this must really hurt, but if this is all it takes for him to have doubts, then he isn't worth it and you deserve better. He doesn't sound mature enough for a relationship. You should base your relationship on what YOU see, feel, and experience with your partner, not what other people say about them.

8 years is a looooong time to be in a relationship. But hey look at the bright side, at least he's saying this now instead of a few years down the road when/if you guys got married.

That is the worst 'cheer up' argument people on FML make. This is someone she loves throwing her away like a used tissue based on nothing and you're saying she can be glad because the emotional investment wasn't *more* than 8 years of her life?

If he was still your boyfriend after 8 years, apparently there were already doubts.

For 8 years you dated a person who had doubted your relationship? He sounds immature. Time to move on

If your dad isn't in your life, I have to assume he just contacted your BF out of the blue to tell him this. Like he just called up one day, "Hi, I'm your GF's estranged father. I saw on Facebook that you two look very happy together. I just wanted to tell you IT'S ALL A LIE! GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN! MY LITTLE DEMON SPAWN WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HELL!!!... Why aren't we on speaking terms?... I have no idea..." Your BF didn't think this at all strange? He never stopped to question the motives of an obviously bitter/antagonistic old man? If your relationship is over, you may have dodged a very dimwitted bullet.

Thats cant be the real reason. Like everyone else said he has been with you for 8yrs and should know you dont speak to your father so that makes no sense. There is something else that he's not telling you. Im sorry. ?
