Today, I got out of the shower and walked into my living room to see my sis' and her boyfriend sitting very closely on our family's fairly large couch. I laughed and said, "Look at the happy couple." Then her now ex-boyfriend burst into tears. Turns out they'd just broken up. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was watching a movie with my sister, my roommate, and my girlfriend. Halfway through the movie, my girlfriend left the room and texted me that she was breaking up with me. She then came back in the room, sat on my bed, and enjoyed the rest of the movie with us. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. I had only been dating him for about a month. Thinking he wouldn't take it very hard, I invited him over so I could tell him in person. Little did I know he was going to start crying on my couch and not leave for 5 hours. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend called my parents to let them know I broke up with him. He was sobbing. FML
Today, I went to see my boyfriend with the intention of breaking up with him. Instead I discovered that he lost his job today and has to move back in with his parents. I can't bring myself to dump someone who's already crying about his horrible day. Now I have to comfort my soon-to-be ex. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to break down and cry because his mother hates me for unknown reasons. I walked in, gave him a long hug, and started sobbing. I then saw his mother. She was visiting him to complain about how terrible a person I am. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. Why? Because apparently her friends have seen me hanging out with a hot girl, giving her long hugs and making her laugh. That "hot girl" is my sister, who got back from studying abroad a week ago. FML
Today, I was making out with my boyfriend. When we took a break and went downstairs, he checked the mail. He had received a letter from his ex-girlfriend, which he opened in front of me. He then began sobbing on my shoulder and broke up with me. He still had to drive me home. FML
Today, I went to a party and saw my current boyfriend making out with my ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, I went to my girlfriend's house to break up with her. It was a hard decision and both of us became quite emotionally overwhelmed at the time. We began to hug as a final goodbye, then her mum burst in the room and yelled, "HE FINALLY PROPOSED!" FML
Today, my 2-year-old sister walked in on me while I was showering. She began to splash around in the toilet, and as I hastily jumped out to stop her, my brother and his friend got a good look as they walked past the room. FML

I hate to be that guy but have not of.

If you're going to be a grammar nazi #12, at least do it right. It's couldn't have.
iAmPaul 49
19 - That's exactly what he said.
Miss_Moody23 19
Actually #29, they said that the correct way should be, "Couldn't have not of." If you expand the contraction, the sentence reads, "Could not have not of."
iAmPaul 49
33 - No. The lack of punctuation in 12's comment is what is confusing you and 19. 12 said he hates to be that guy, but [it's] "have", not "of".
gemstone586 12
lack of punctuation is grammar, so, if you're going to be the grammar police, you should probably use proper punctuation.
Miss_Moody23 19
Of course it was. Makes sense then. Thanks #40 ☺ Would just like to say that punctuation matters - don't be the guy that "Likes eating his cats and his family..."

Holy crap it's like I'm back in English class...

It seems as if there is a rift between the Grammar Nazis. They are, at least momentarily, splitting between the Spelling and Punctuation battalions. What is yet to come to all of us by-standers?

Commas go inside of quotation marks.
tantanpanda 26
#65, no it doesn't. If you're quoting a phrase with a comma, then yes, but in this situation, it goes after. Please leave.
rebelbelle 17
well how were you supposed to know?
sierrajo09 24
you didn't know, just try to help them through the situation. :)

Open mouth, insert foot! Hey, don't feel too bad... How could you have known!? Your sis doesn't need to be dating a crybaby anyway, right!? Ha!!!
sweetbliss3 37
nothing wrong with men who cry. and, he just got broken up with. I don't think this particular situation counts him as being a crybaby
meladuh 16
Tbh if the guy dint cry, he might have not taken the relationship as seriously
garrett_8614 14
Honestly it depends on their relationship. If they've only been together a couple weeks/months, crying would be a little weird. Years would be understandable.
skyttlz 32
55- I think it depends more on the relationship than the time. I know people who were in 2-year-long relationships and weren't too hurt by the breakup. Other people can get close in just a few months and hurt by the breakup.

iwanttogotoparis 26
At least you didn't start crying hysterically with him
Reider022 16
Not your fault OP why are they sitting so close if they broke up, she obviously broke up with him if he started crying so he could have got up and left rather than acting like a baby.
HyunnK 18
Why wouldn't he cry? The girl that he LOVES broke up with him. He probably doesn't know what he did wrong.
Reider022 16
Ya true but he could have at least been rational about it, talked it over and come to terms a with what was happening rather than acting like a complete baby.
VeganDarkLight 31
Wow, showing feelings is called acting like a baby nowadays? I wouldn't want to date or be somebody who was always rational.
Pyro3000 6
I can see why you're single.
Reider022 16
Two tears and a ****** bucket, **** it. Cry some more tears. Sensitive ass bitches.
VeganDarkLight 31
32, me or Reider?
Reider022 16
Bursting into tears like a baby is called acting like a baby, no wonder she dumped him.
rocker_chick105 31
Well when someone you love dies, don't cry because you'll look like a baby with your logic.
Reider022 16
So getting dumped and someone you know dying calls for the same reaction... That's a little over dramatic don't you think?
snowflaky 22
You don't know the situation. My ex cried even though he was the one who broke up with me, only because he was moving and didn't want to make a LDR work. Maybe that's the case here, or maybe the sister cheated, or maybe she dumped him unexpectedly. Either way, if he's crying it means he cared about the relationship and that's a good thing.
Reider022 16
If you love someone your heart is with them and you make it work, long distance or not. From how I read the FML, I'm seeing it as he literally started bawling his eyes out like a sobbing baby. If he gradually started to tear up yeah it's different, but to actually burst out crying after the comment would make him seem like he's a bit of a baby.
SystemofaBlink41 27
What? I can't follow your logic... Crying is crying, whether it's slowly built up or bursting into tears. I cry ALL the time, so I know what I'm talking about.
smokecloud_ 37
Stop feeding the troll, guys.
doctorhook86 25
#27: So a dude had an emotional reaction to an emotional situation, and you insult him for failing to be rational about it? All he did was cry. Do you not approve of men having or showing emotions? On behalf of men everywhere, **** you.
melsweet 19
You couldn't have known OP! It escalated quickly though... Happy couple to crying ex
sturschaedel 27
At least it seems they broke up on good terms if they still sat close together?
meggieeeee92 27
The guy started crying...I'm thinking that it didn't exactly end on fantastic terms.
sturschaedel 27
Well, he was sad, sure, but that will be the case in most break-ups, especially if one part wasn't noticing anything wrong. But there wasn't any screaming and shouting, doors slamming or the like, and they weren't in different parts of the room, but close together. I'd call that good terms.
marcmaralou 15
I feel more bad for him..
confushon 12
Yes! Real men do not cry!
