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.

That sucks, but it's kind of funny at the same time, and I hope you'll be able to laugh, at least a little bit, at it in the future.

For those of us not in the USA it IS ridiculous. Having to pay to RECEIVE a text message is unheard of in the UK. Having to pay to send a text is fairly rare. Even on most pay-as-you-go phones you get a certain allowance of texts you don't have to pay to send, and you never have to pay to receive.

THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ME! Except we were not together for as long as you were and he only sent me around 400.. BUT I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS! It is like, before u can eve open the first message ten more come in. It is riduculous. UGH! SO FRUSTRATING! I feel for you :( literally... i am so empathetic towards u... SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME :(

That happened to me as well, my ex sent me messages over messages on my prepaid. And all the messages were the same, they all just read, 'Bitch.' What a douche bag.
