Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of seven years. He stared at me, then said, "Yeah, okay then. I'm gonna watch TV now." He then turned on the TV and watched Top Gun. Not quite the response I was hoping for. FML

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. I had only been dating him for about a month. Thinking he wouldn't take it very hard, I invited him over so I could tell him in person. Little did I know he was going to start crying on my couch and not leave for 5 hours. FML
Today, I tried to break up with my boyfriend. He said no. FML

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend, after three long weeks of him ignoring me and cancelling out on time we were supposed to spend with each other. He looked at me with the most confused look on his face. Then he said, ''Are you serious? I was planning the perfect day to ask you to marry me.'' FML
Today, my girlfriend decided that the best place to break up with me was during a movie about two couples breaking up. FML
Today, I finally worked up the courage to break up with my boyfriend. His parents weren't able to pick him up for 5 hours. I ended up taking him to a movie to kill time and end on a positive note, but now he thinks we're cool and back on track. FML
Today, my boyfriend's proposal speech somehow ended with him breaking up with me. FML

What were you hoping for exactly? To see him break down in tears for your satisfaction? The poor guy was probably devastated and trying to hold it together.

He cruised through a potentially brutal break-up fight like atrue maverick.

you should've been more convincing. he probably assumed you were joking or something. breaking up with a person you've been with for seven years doesn't happen in one phrase, it happens in a long talk.

Or several long talks... Life sucks like that.

That, or in their 7 years together she broke up with him many times, and they continuously got back together. He probably isn't taking you seriously.

I guess his response to this is sort of why you broke up with him in the first place, right OP? You weren't breaking up to try to get a different response, right? If so, YDI! If not, well played! Now get out of there mad get on with your life!!!

Sounds like he thought you were joking...

Seven years? My guess is this relationship was heading down a bad path for a long time, especially if that was his reaction. Maybe he is as ready to move on as you are, which is actually a really good thing.

I'm so sorry he didn't break down and weep for you, or beg you to stay. Sounds like he might have been hoping for it really. YDI

"Hoping for"So you hoped that your boyfriend would start crying or something?

Exactly. Another one fishing for a response that they didn't get. She dumped him.They should both move on.

Were you hoping he'd take your breath away instead of keeping your relationship in the danger zone?
