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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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

#40 hahahahahaha. Anyway I don't see why everyone's saying this was considerate or nice. He sounds like an arsehole who's just trying to feel better about himself doing it this way.

FYL for having a BF who text dumps you. At least you are rid of the prick.

I've been in a similar situation before... her family abused me and my parents, treated me like a child, and said awful things behind my back... all the while my girlfriend never stood up for me, so on my birthday last year, 23rd, her parents threaten to call the police to tell them my family and I are holding her against her will. She was 19 at the time. Yeah, I quit a two year relationship just because her parents are retarded. Oh, when I thought we were working things out, he was with a redneck named Floyd... and ow I'm sort of with her again... FML? Probably so. YDI? Definitely.

I did this to my ex-boyfriend. I had the decency to call him I guess...better than texting. I hadn't even planned on dumping him but at his party he pushed me over the edge. So a little after midnight I called him and dumped him. It was at least by chance after midnight. That's when I decided to. It could've been ten minutes before and I wouldn't have cared and done it anyway but it didn't hit me until right about midnight how much I DIDN'T want to be with him.

at least he's kinda sensitive? Though text breakups are weak.

#45: You do realize, no one gives two-***** about your "ex"girlfriends shitty family or y'all's shitty relationship. And that YDI, has nothing to do with the OP's situation right now. So stfu.

Any guy that breaks up with a girl using text is not a guy. What a jerk.

ALWAYS know your target and what's beyond. Your life isn't ******. You're just a dumbass who doesn't know how to use common sense. That pool coulda been a person. And that water coulda been a bloody mess in your yard. Next time THINK about what you're gonna do, like maybe putting a fence around your garden that Mr. Rabbit can't jump. Or set a trap.

#2 and # 45 are idiots. yeah you totally deserved to get broken up with by TEXT MESSAGE. yes he probably had his reasons but, but you know nothing about the situation why would you just assume she deserved the breakup? at least he didn't do it on your birthday, technically, but if he was a descent human being he would have waited til the next morning and done it in person. what a wuss...

Well, at least he respected that it was your birthday. I had a very close friend argue nonsense with me and "dump' me on my birthday once and it was maybe my worst birthday ever. And just imagine: "Today it's my birthday. My boyfriend sent me a Hallmark break-up card as a gift. FML" Sounds worse, doesn't it? FYL though. Just because it's one day past your birthday doesn't make it any better.
