Today, my long-distance boyfriend was at my house for a 10-day visit. He told me that we'd never spent so much time together, so he didn't know me well and now, he'd finally met the "real me". He doesn't like it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
My long-distance partner came to visit me for the weekend. When he arrived he seemed moody and tired, and refused any kind of physical contact. Upset, I asked him what was wrong. Turns out he's mad for coming to see me because I've put on weight, making the trip a waste of his time. FML
Today, I saw my long-distance boyfriend for the first time in 8 months. He dumped me on the spot because I was "uglier" than he remembered. FML
Today, my long-distance boyfriend wanted to spend time online with me. He kept quiet on Skype and went on a hundred different stupid websites, laughing by himself. Afterwards, he told me he really enjoyed our time together. FML
Today, I met my long distance girlfriend after two years of being separated by 900 miles. She brought her short distance boyfriend to the meeting. FML
Today, my boyfriend, who lives 100 miles away and whom I haven't seen in 2 months, told me he was visiting my city with some friends. I assumed this was an opening to an invitation, but no, he just asked me about the best places to get drunk. FML
Today, my long-distance boyfriend decided to tell me he found a girl in his hometown he’s become attracted to, and that he doesn’t love me anymore. He says we can "still be friends." I’d just driven 100 miles to see him. FML
Today, I learned that my long term/long distance (two hours away) boyfriend has had not one, but two regular "girlfriends" closer to his home. He'd told them that we broke up while still coming to visit me weekly. He did stop coming by a few months ago because "work was crazy" but that didn't stop him from sending "pics" though. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that he becomes a boring version of himself whenever we are together. FML
Today, my boyfriend came home from college for the first time in weeks just to visit me. I was so excited that I spent two hours getting ready. Turns out he was only coming back to dump me. Now I'm single and out of foundation. FML
Today, my boyfriend is acting more distanced, leaving me on seen or delivered. We do long distance, he’s supposed to come visit me in three weeks. I don't know what to think. He’s always been sweet and stuff, but now it feels like he’s not trying. This makes my stomach hurt. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Honestly, long distance relationships are hard. A similar situation happened with me and my bf, but we worked through it - not that we didn't like each other, but we fell off the pedestal. It happens in every relationship, but it's worse in long distance.

I feel your pain. Happened to me. 10 day visit, dating for 4 months. After day 6, he just kind of ignored me.

Same thing happened to me last year. I flew to Omaha, Nebraska (OMAHA!) to see him, and he broke up with me the last night I was there. Be strong!

what do you expect? it's kind of hard to really get to know someone long distance. relationships are made up of soo many aspects that can't be built over the phone. stick with people that you can spend time with. distance is an unecessary stress on a growing relationship.

you never really know someone until you live with them.

that's bullshit #37 it may be possible, but you cannot deny the fact that a relationship would be easier if you lived closer. you need to spend time with eachother in order to build a relationship. People with a thriving long-distance relationship are usually in denial and will eventually discover that they don't really know eachother. in the cases where it does work, good for you. but it definitely adds alot of stress.

Seriously, don't have much sympathy for people like this. That's part of life, get used to it. I've had my heart broken several times now and nobody has ever said yes. And no, there's no seriously wrong thing with me like being a jerk. Get used to it.

It happens sometimes, LD relationships are hard. You can't get to know somebody too well over the phone.

YDI i think. Internet relationships aren't real relationships. God, i hate seeing technology being abused like that. Just because you read someone's myspace profile, doesn't mean you know everything about them, or you're "In Love" with them. Try going out and meeting people. That way, you can visit them on a daily basis.

Aww. That's terrible, I'm sorry. I hope that doesn't happen with mine.
