Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. Devastated, he withered onto the floor into an inconsolable wreck in front of dozens of people. The ribbon of embarrassment that went down my spine was too much for me to handle, so I had to tell him I was "only joking." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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

The arguments in comments are funny, but I have to agree with half. Don't break up with him in front of dozens of people, especially if he's that attached to you. To say you were only joking makes you look like a bitch in front of all of them: so if you care what they think, you should have done it in private.

grow some balls!

I really don't know why people use this expression "grow/get some balls" cos logically it doesn't make sense. Balls are extremely sensitive spot; having to pairs of balls would make you way more vulnerable than having one so technically the right thing to say would be "lose some balls" cos it would make you less vulnerable but hey go figure.....

I just saw a Facebook post on this point exactly: "Why do people say 'grow some balls'? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you really wanna get tough, grow a ******! Those things take a pounding!" - Betty White stuffofawesome.com/ betty-white-on-growing-balls-1317772803-4601.jpg.html

You could have just walked away leaving him in the floor.
