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

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 dumped. My boyfriend was too afraid to break up with me, so he sent the girl he cheated on me with. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. I found out he was seeing someone behind my back: my ex-boyfriend. 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 my boyfriend's apartment to break up with him since he's always busy, and I haven't seen or spoke to him in almost 2 months. I arrived to find out from his landlord that he'd moved out 3 weeks ago, leaving a note saying that we were over. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, right after I turned down an amazing job opportunity in another location, just so I could be with him. FML

Today, my boyfriend called me in tears because the love of his life has decided to move on with another man. He is currently on his way over to cry on my shoulder about it. FML
Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. FML

OP wait at least a few days.
xlord 27
Even if OP waits a few days it will still look like she broke up with because he lost his job. Either she looks heartless or stuck with him for a littlewhile

Shoulda just done it. Why have two horrible days when you only have to have one!

Well it's respectful that you're still considerate for his bad day even though you're breaking up with him :)

Let him think he's got some stuff left. Putting too much pressure at once is never good.

You should really explain your reason for breaking up with him, and at least still talk to him some. Maybe you could work things out?

this is when fml needs a follow up site. I want to know what happens next.

OP, if you want to break up with him that bad, just be nice about it, tell him the real reason, and just let him know that if he needs anything you'll be there for him. That's the one thing I can't stand about seeing relationships end, when each party just forgets the other involved or they don't renown friends.

Just dump him, but still let him live with you :)

It's quite a difficult situation to be in. I was almost in a similar one, but thankfully I missed it by a day. It's still crazy to think what could have happened had I delayed breaking it off. OP hopefully it'll be a lesson not to put off talking about your relationship when something's not right in the future.

Maybe she still cares for him, but doesn't want to be in a relationship with him? Christ people on here are so cold.

4 it's not as easy as you think it is, then again you don't seem like you've had too many anyway

# 4 there's a word you may not know... It's called sympathy

You're giving him false hope, which is more cruel than breaking up with him. If you're not going to be there for him, don't pretend to.

You heartless bastard.

i dont think he has that much money anyway since he lost his job and has to move back with his parents..

Well it makes him slightly less crushed about his day. For now that is.

Help him find a job,then when he's back on his feet and doing well, see if you feel the same.

I agree with this!! it seems like she still cares..if she didn't then why wouldn't have she just broke up with him anyway? if I was just sick of him I know I would have :/
Isoldael 27
I don't think I could break up with anyone who's already that devastated, no matter how sick I was of him. And nice of you to consider his feelings, OP, just make sure you don't let it drag on for too long :)

Eww snakes creep me out. Not nearly as much as roaches but they are still scary.

now there's a good idea

I totally agree with this! You never know, maybe the stress of his last job made him not as likable. Maybe OP will have a change of heart.

Well there's always tomorrow.

Be honest and tell him to man up and deal with it.

Why the thumbs down . People get a grip and try live in the real world . Shit happens .

It sucks to be kicked when you're down and most people know that, which is why you two got thumbed down.
phoenixslayer69 4
But would you rather get kicked over a few weeks or get all the pain over and done with. Personally I would prefer it all at once
