Today, my boyfriend broke things off, because he says I have a "horrible, horrible personality" and that I'm only really fuck-buddy material, which is a problem because he wants something long-term. We've been dating for three years. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I'm too "high maintenance". And that's because I ask him to use condoms when we have sex, and I refuse to invite my friends over for threesomes. I don't know why I'm not actually glad we are broken up. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. He said I was way too good at sex so I must have lied about not having much experience, and he "wouldn't be with someone who is hiding something." WTF? FML
Today, after dating for almost five years, my boyfriend stated that I have a "perfect and amazing personality" but that my looks are not what he "envisioned himself spending the rest of his life with." In other words, I'm ugly. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because he wasn't feeling our two-month relationship was up to par with his parents' 30-year marriage, and, furthermore, I wasn't similar enough to his mother. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend after concluding we're not compatible at all. He said he knew it all along, but he thought I was "good for all the house stuff." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend he's the only good thing left in my life. That's not a healthy relationship dynamic, he said, and ended up breaking up with me. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because he has "commitment issues". He said he "cared" for me but didn't "love" me. He did this 30 minutes after we'd hooked up and said we loved each other. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 3 years left me because apparently I'm "too beautiful and he can no longer handle other guys always trying to flirt with me." FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, saying we're too different. His only example? He likes ham and I don't. FML

He's an asshole, but at least you found out about it 3 years into it and not 30. Hope you find somebody that appreciates you.

Your relationship is Fake, move on

He's fallen in love with someone else, and is using this as cover. I mean, it's an option to consider.

If you read the FML correctly, you'll see it says "Today, my boyfriend called things off."

One of you two seems to have a "horrible, horrible personality" indeed - although I doubt it's you, OP...

Why does everyone ALWAYS blame the guy, FML's are always one sided and of course people twist the story to make themselves the victim. It is of course entirely possible OP herself has changed recently and started acting differently and it's her personality since the change he doesn't like. Would certainly make more sense, regardless how long they had already been together she's no longer someone he would want an emotional relationship with, as he wants long term and not to just see how long he can stick it out able to stand her. Although admitting he enjoys sex with her, he wants more than just a sexual relationship, so he doesn't want a relationship with her anymore, so he told her the truth and left her.

I blame the guy because, while that may be true, he didn't have to be such a dick about it. He was completely out of line and it seems as though he wanted to hurt her feelings as much as possible. I mean really, "you have a horrible, horrible personality"? Telling her that she's just **** buddy material? That crosses the line from rudeness to just plain cruelty. Even if he felt that way there are far better ways to break up with someone.

Thank you for this comment. I was thinking the same thing, she could simply have become a crazy overly jealous type of girl or he managed to just ignore that side of her for long enough but couldn't do it anymore. But we don't have his side and OP is a woman so sexism dictates she is the victim.

#29 what the hell are you on about? I am 100% sure that had OP been a guy people would have reacted the exact same way. If you don't believe me then go read the comments on old FMLs where the guys girlfriend had been a complete bitch (such as the one posted a few days ago where the OPs girlfriend brought her new boyfriend to the restaurant he worked at) and you'll see that people more often than not take the guy's side. Even if OP was a terrible girlfriend the way her boyfriend broke up with her was horrible and it's not "sexist" to think so.

True, it was mean, but then it is also possible she has been equally mean to him, and driven him to the point he's just snapped and given her a taste of her own medicine. I've seen so many girls act like complete bitches and bully people, and when you call them out on it they act genuinely shocked like they think they're such amazingly nice people who never did anything bad/wrong. Sometimes you need to state the obvious, telling her she has a horrible, horrible personality could have been warranted if it were true, and the only way to get her listen. We don't know, because we don't know OP. Personally i don't think the **** buddy comment is all that bad. It's complimenting her as a sexual partner, but also, possibly a bit harshly, making it perfectly clear she's not what he personally wants as a girlfriend. One mans trash is another mans treasure, and all that. Yeah, i'm biased to stick up for the guy because i hate females, never met one who wasn't a complete manipulative bitch.

Well said!

I completely agree with 26. If by chance OP had changed and was this horrible person, he still chose to be with her for 3 years. Whatever his reasons were, it was 3 years and she obviously meant more to him then a f buddy. He could've broken up with her without being such a jerk and saying such hurtful things. And again, he's the one that chose to be with her for 3 years, undermining that is just stupid.

To be honest I have only ever seen violent hostility directed at women here

Maybe he lied, maybe it was the truth. Anyway, he should've indeed been more considerate about it. Sometimes people really can be assholes.

i was with a guy for 5 years and finally broke it off a while back. he had a horrible horrible personality, and i couldnt see myself going "long term" with him, aka: marriage, kids, mortgage, etc.
JBrownie123 24
I'm going to sound like an asshole, but it doesn't matter how long you've been together, 3 years isn't that long term when it's put into perspective, and if he's saying that you have a horrible personality maybe he just can't put up with that for the rest if his life. Life partners are long term.

Of course no one should feel forced into marrying someone; if they realize after a few years that it definitely won't work, then they should break it off. But while that may be true, I think most readers here are upset about the WAY he dumped her. You can decide you don't want to stay with someone for life without telling them they've got a horrible personality and that they'll never be good for anything but a **** buddy.
