Today, at exactly midnight, I get a text from my boyfriend saying we were done. I had just seen him 4 hours ago when we were out celebrating my birthday, and asked why he didnt just tell me then. He replies 'I couldn't break up with you on your birthday but i wanted it to be over ASAP' FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend gave me the best birthday ever, then promptly broke up with me at midnight to get back with his ex, because he "didn't want to ruin my special day." FML
Today, it's my birthday. I woke up to a text message from my boyfriend, breaking up with me. When I commented on his impeccably bad timing, he admitted he'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 8 years broke up with me on my 30th birthday, through text message. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 4 years broke up with me. Via text. With the iPhone I got him for our anniversary. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he wants to break up. But not until after our anniversary tomorrow, because he's already gotten dinner reservations for us. FML
Today, I texted my boyfriend, asking him to meet me when he finished work. Paranoid as he is, he took this to mean that I wanted to break up with him, and is ghosting me into oblivion. All I wanted was to see him on our 4-year anniversary. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me two days before my birthday. Only to make it worse, I found out that he had been texting my mother on how to break up with me. To make it even worse, she was giving him tips. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me. He decided he would be a gentleman and do this to me at work, over text, during a rush of unsympathetic customers, the day before our anniversary. FML
Today, I threw an elaborate surprise birthday party for my boyfriend of four years. He thought we were going to a quiet dinner but when we arrived, thirty of his friends jumped out and surprised him. Instead of kissing me to thank me, he broke up with me because of how easily I had lied to him. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me to stay home, because he wanted to come by to give me a birthday surprise. Later on, he came by, posted a note, rung the bell and left. The note was a break up note. FML

#15 Yes, it does. To my mind, 'proceeded' is for when the action is the last of a series of actions towards a same goal. It's what makes the most sense to me.

sorry to hear it :( but at least he was somewhat nice about it, personally i would've waited until later in the week to do it in person...

It may not seem like it now, but you are way better off without him. What a jackass. A few men give all the rest a bad rep. I'm not saying he is a jackass for this one stunt. I'm guessing he's always been one if he'd stoop so low. Maybe now that he's out of your life it won't be so ******.

Text-dumping? Inconsiderate loser.

That's low, he's obviously been thinking about breaking up for a while, i doubt he came to the conclusion over night. He should have broken up sooner as to not ruin your birthday- waiting till midnight? Talk about a Cinderella Man. When something ends, it only leads to new beginnings. Happy Belated Birthday!

don't worry, OP, I'll vote FYL to cancel out #2's retardation.

its 'sweet' of him not wanting to break up with you on your bday, but he could have at least waited until the next morning or week or whenever when he saw you in person again. breaking up over the phone is pretty rude.

Consider it a post-birthday present. There are plenty of fish in the sea. :)

So you wanted him to break up with you on your birthday and ruin your celebrations, or did you want him to stay in a relationship he didn't want to be in?
