Today, my girlfriend of 8 months and I broke up. We decided to give back everything we ever bought for each other. I gave her the stuff she bought me and when I asked for my stuff she said she'd sold it and spent the money on herself. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, my girlfriend saw my secret money stash for emergencies and broke up with me, after calling me a greedy asshole and not telling her before. According to her, we could have taken a lot of trips around the country, because, "your money is mine, too." We dated for six months. FML
Today, my boyfriend of almost a year and a half broke up with me when he decided he wasn't in love with me anymore. We gave our stuff back, he was joking and happy the whole time until I told him I was taking back my cat. At that point he burst into tears. FML
Today, my girlfriend left me at 11pm after leading me on for 5 months, all because she lost interest. I wasted so much time, money, and emotions on her, and never received them from her. FML
Today, I'm living with my now ex-girlfriend of 9 years in the house we bought together. What's worse than that is the fact that 2 weeks before she told me she was unhappy and ended it, I had bought an engagement ring. I didn't get the chance to ask, and had to return the ring. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. She came over to see me one last time. We hugged for minutes and cried; it was a touching moment. Just after she left, I realized my wallet that I had on the table beside us was gone. FML
Today, my girlfriend decided to break up with me because she found a bra in my cupboard. It was hers. FML
Today, after nearly 4 years together, my girlfriend told me that not only does she not love me anymore, she was lying about wanting to work things out because it would be "too hard" for her to go back to financing her own life. I'm nothing more than an extra wallet. FML

Who returns gifts? That's awful. Things you buy for each other are gifts, and shouldn't be returned when a relationship ends...

who gives back gifts anyway, it's a GIFT, it's GIVEN to you, so you can keep it.

Why would she agree to give back the gifts if she already knew that she had already sold them? Sounds like you demanded that you both return each other's gifts.

I agree with #23, why would you return *gifts*?? Hey man, YDI. You bought it for her, she can do what she likes with it. Not saying that's not a slack move, but she doesn't owe you anything for it. You would have been within your rights to sell the things she bought you, too. FYL for being dumb enough to give back presents o_0

A gift is a gift and shouldn't be returned unless it's an engagement ring. Looks like she set you up. Good thing you didn't marry the bitch.

An engagement ring shouldn't be returned either, the idea is that If the relationship fails the Lady has compensation for the time she could have spent looking for a new mate, a bit old fashioned I agree, but I like tradition

An engagement ring is a conditional gift. It should be returned if the marriage doesn't go ahead.

I agree with jonny2X4...a gift is a gift. You were only dating 8 months. Ease up on the gifts there. Wait until you've been toghter for awhile before you pile on the presents.
