Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years because I was tired of his childishness and anger, so he decided to send me 540 random text messages of scrambled letters in order to mess up my phone as well, as make me pay 20 cents for each message. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a text from my girlfriend saying she needed more phone credit, so I bought her more and got another message saying "Great, now I have enough credit for this..." as she spelled out a three page message breaking up with me. Yes, I paid for her to break up with me via text. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me via text message. Every 20 minutes or so, I'll get a notification that I have a new message, and I check it just to find that same message sitting there. I'm being trolled by my own phone. FML
Today, I had to tell my boyfriend his dad was sending me inappropriate texts that made me feel uncomfortable. I tried to make him stop, but he kept going until I felt like I needed to tell my boyfriend. Who's now broken up with me because of it. FML
Today, I received a text from my boyfriend breaking up with me. Not only was this a bit cowardly but he'd also sent it in a reply to our last interaction on our phones, a group chat with some of our friends, who started commenting with sad face emojis before I had even had the chance to see it. FML
Today, my boyfriend was such a coward that instead of breaking up with me, he changed his phone number. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over and dropped off my phone, which I'd left at his place the night before. He immediately left in a sulk. As I looked through my texts, I discovered he was only so moody because I hadn't answered any of his calls or messages. I'm dating an idiot. FML
Today, this guy I was seeing dumped me for "bombarding" him with text messages. I'd sent him one text asking if he was okay, after he stood me up 2 nights in a row. FML
Today, I confronted my boyfriend after he received a text with a bunch of hearts on it. After arguing, turns out it was from me. FML
Today, I sent out a Happy Snow Day text to 20 of my closest friends. My boyfriend, who doesn't have an iPhone, didn't realize it was a group text. He sent back a text breaking up with me. To all the people in the group message. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, severing all forms of communication but one: Words With Friends. FML

Making the receiver pay for SMS is totally weak.

Only certain companies make you pay for incoming messages, nothing to do with being in the USA

YD for being a stubborn girl! He got you good though :) Guys will be guys and they know how to have fun. Too bad you don't. Your loss.

Mhm, yeah, I bet acting like a ******* imbecile is fun for the person acting like an imbecile. For people around them, who are affected by their stupidity - not so much. What exactly makes her stubborn? Not staying in relationship she does not want to be in? "Guys will be guys" - are you implying all "guys" are immature brats that can't handle relationships? Being "a guy" is not a mental handicap so that saying is pretty insulting, inaccurate, stupid. While OP's ex seems to be a bit behind in the maturity department that does not mean all guys are like that and declaring it a "gender thing" is ignorant.

You deserve it for not having unlimited texting.

Maybe she doesn't text often, so she has no need to get an unlimited texting plan, genius. In that case, she just got unlucky and screwed over this time.

Whether sending or receiving SMS, gotta pay for both in USA. Really dumb

Yes, in the US you have to pay to send or receive texts with just about any provider. You can get an unlimited plan, but it costs more. It's really ridiculous. OP, call your cell phone provider. Explain your situation. Maybe they'll reverse the charges or at least offer to sell you a package to cover the texts at a lower rate. Good call on the childishness and anger.

I'm sure he was an asshole while/before you dated him, but you dated him anyway. YDI.

That's not always true though, a lot of people hide their true colors until they already have you hooked. If everyone just was that way before people started dating there would be a lot less abuse issues because people just wouldn't go out with that person. There is always a chance that the OPs ex hid his childishness and anger issues for a while until after they were dating. If that's the case then they did get screwed there.

Yeah. If you don't open them, you aren't charged. :) I really, really hope you didn't open all those messages...
