Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML

Crossed purposes

Today, I told my boyfriend, "We need to talk." He said, "I know". So we met after school, and he said he was OK with me breaking up with him, that he wasn't that into me either. He said all that before I could tell him that my parents wanted to meet him. FML

Today, I told my man I was feeling a lack of emotional closeness and dialogue in our relationship. I'd hoped for a comeback like, "So what do you need in order to change that?" Or even, "Aw, come here, let's cuddle!" Instead, I got a simple, "I don't." FML

Today, my boyfriend called and asked me why I love him. I told him because he's always there for me and continues to put up with my bipolar disorder. He promptly said "not anymore" and hung up. FML

Today, I told my boyfriend of nine months that depression runs in my family and I think the reason I've been flipping shit so much lately may be that I am depressed. Not five minutes later he decided a break would be "the best thing for us right now." FML

The old "It's not you, it's me"

By WhoopsIDidItAgain - 14/07/2022 01:00 - United States - Fremont

Today, my boyfriend of 3 months decided to end our long-distance relationship out of the blue, because he "lost interest" and "our families don't approve" and "you deserve better than me" and "I'm holding you back." He took my heart and shattered against the wall. FML

Let him know you don't need a physical connection.

Maybe you can just outsmart him and trick him into breaking up with you. He seems pretty dumb.

I'd say just ignore him, but he might show up a month later looking for some steak...

He was probably so dumbfounded with her statement, that he probably broke it off with her anyways. That was the real FML. Hence the including his retort. (Just theory) hahha.

Or an emotional one since emotion is different than mental as mental would be Telepathy. Point being that I can see where OP bf is coming from, but I think he was being an egotistical jerk for trying to be funny at a time like this.
