Today, I was at my boyfriend's house waiting to surprise him when he got home from work. I was laying in his bed when he called to tell me we were over. I couldn't leave before he got home. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend stopped by my house after work because he missed me. We made out for a bit outside, which involved some touching and then he left. When I got inside, I got a Facebook message from my older neighbor that read, "That was gross. Please don't do that again in front of me. Really." FML
Today, while sitting next to me, my boyfriend sent a text to one of his "friends" saying, "I'm thinking of you." FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me by getting his mum to message me on Facebook. I got the message while I was packing for an overseas trip to visit him. FML
Today, I wasn't allowed to work from home, despite being ill enough to just take the day off anyway, all so there could be "someone to answer the phone." The phone didn't ring once all day. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me, all because he's scared of my mother. FML
Today, my boss made me work a longer shift than usual. Not because he needed me in, but just so I'd finish at the same time as his brat of a son, and give him a lift home. FML
Today, I finally started my job as an in-home caregiver. The man I was hired to care for died two hours after I made it to his house. FML
Today, my best friend told me she was pregnant over the phone. While in the middle of telling her congrats, she told me it was with my boyfriend. FML
Today, I poured my heart out to my girlfriend of two years expressing my feelings for her. She responded with, "I'm going to bed." FML
Today, anticipating another stressful day of work, I left my house with a cluster of thoughts in my mind. It was only when I heard my front door lock behind me, my hand still resting on the handle, that I realised I had forgotten my house keys. FML

My ex convinced me to stay with him. I dealt with it another 2 months and was miserable the entire time. not a good idea.

You could've stayed and tried to convince him otherwise.

Someone able to do that at all would be long past the point of staying together or putting in the effort of seeing it through. If you have enough respect for someone else you'd sit down and talk about it rather than just over the phone then abandoning them in their own thoughts.

Break up sex for the win!

I'm not a fan of break up sex. I once had an ex break down and start crying "you were gonna be my wife" while he was thrusting. And he was the one who broke up with me.

Why couldn't you leave? Surely getting out is easier than getting in?

That must've been really awkward. The guy could've done it in person no? It's sad to do that over the phone.

Did you at least try to talk to him about why he broke up with you before you left? Sorry OP, I hope you're okay!

Well, it's his loss. I hope he regrets his decision.

Why? People are allowed to end relationships. It doesn't make them a bad person.

My thoughts exactly #18. OP could be an awful person for all we know. We know nothing of their relationship.
cathleenn 9
Didn't think of that. Oops. Sorry my thumbs have a mind of their own. :P

It makes them a bad person if they do it via phone rather than face to face! That said, it sounds like a phone conversation would be way less awkward than having your boyfriend walk in on you 'surprising' him just to break up with you.

Better a phone call rather than a text or post-it note style. Or my personal favorite cowardly way out, Facebook...

Douche didn't at least have the balls to tell it to your face. Don't worry OP, you'll find someone
