Love: Unexpected

Unexpected

Today, I quit my job that my girlfriend and I worked together at. Fellow employees are not allowed to date one another and I said it would be ok if I was the one to leave. When I got home to her and told her that I quit, she decided to break up with me. I now have no job and no girlfriend. FML

Today, after “talking” and flirting with my team lead for a few months, we started dating and I quit my job, which I really liked, and started working somewhere I didn’t just so we could be together. Now, two weeks after quitting, she breaks up with me. FML

Today, I was fired from a managerial position I've held for two years due to "inappropriate relations with a subordinate": I was dating a coworker. My girlfriend then broke up with me four hours later. Because I no longer had a job. I hired her. FML

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

Today, I quit my job and sent a mass mail on Facebook that I was moving to a different state with my long time boyfriend. He called me later that night to tell me we aren't moving after all. Now we are both jobless with loads of bills to pay by the end of the month. FML

if she broke up with you because you sacrificed your job so she wouldn't get in trouble, she obviously wasn't a quality girlfriend to begin with

Leaving your job for someone is a big thing, shame she didnt appreciate it or just warn you not to.

I'm guessing this one is fake. Not only that, but a tad unoriginal. If I'm wrong though, I'm sorry. At least this shows that she isn't good enough for you.

As an intelligent and independant woman, I find this offensive. My boyfriend and I have an approximately equal income. I like it when he randomly decides to splurge on me (take me out to dinner, etc), but on the other hand, I love spending (my) money on him too! When one of us is short on cash, the other will step in and buy food and entertainment a little more frequently, but it's a two-way street. Please do not overgeneralize. It's sexually discriminating. To the OP: maybe she broke up with you because she thought you were making too serious a commitment to the relationship too fast. this is definitely something that should have been discussed with her prior to you quitting your job.
