Today, I finally summed up the courage to break up with my abusively controlling girlfriend. I don't know what I was thinking, but instead of leaving as a free man, I left as an engaged one. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally got the courage to leave my controlling and manipulative ex. He took it well. And by "took it well", I mean he camped out my doorstep, held some of my belongings hostage, and tried to blackmail me into staying with him. FML
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. She was ecstatic. Apparently, she'd been trying to figure out how to break up with me for the past four months. FML
Today, I finally worked up the courage to tell my boyfriend that I wanted to go separate ways. Before I could say anything, he proposed. FML
Today, my girlfriend confessed that she was scared that she was more in love with me than I was in her, and that she was afraid I would leave her. So she left me instead. I'd been thinking about proposing. FML
Today, I went to my girlfriend's house to break up with her. It was a hard decision and both of us became quite emotionally overwhelmed at the time. We began to hug as a final goodbye, then her mum burst in the room and yelled, "HE FINALLY PROPOSED!" FML
Today, after weeks of my crazy girlfriend avoiding me because she knew I wanted to break up with her, I had no option but to do it by text. She told all my friends, who now think I'm a coward who isn't man enough to break up in person. They didn't even ask for my side of the story. FML
Today, after weeks of doubt and pondering the pros and cons, I finally broke up with my girlfriend, and she burst into tears. Feeling guilty, I tried to console her by saying, "Don't worry, we can still be cousins." FML
Today, after months of arguing and conflict, I broke up wIth my fiancé. Or at least, I tried to. The wedding's off, but only until he can convince me to want to marry him again. FML
Today, while trying to break up with my girlfriend, I somehow ended up begging her not to break up with me. I'm still not sure how that happened. 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

To all of you dicks who say YDI, consider that men can be abused too. Don't judge.

Grow a sack, fill it with some balls and potentially gain some dignity...

Hey, I know this seems like an obvious YDI, but breaking up with someone like that can actually be really hard if you happen to be emotionally connected to them. I feel for you, but seriously, break the engagement, and then cut ALL contact. It's the only way. Seek support from close friends and/or family for a while after, and it will get better. Good luck.

Trust me even though it is hard to breakup bc your scared its better to get it over with and let her get mad and crazy then to be stuck your whole life. Break up over the phone. I had to do this one time bc I was dating someone that sounds like you have. And we were engaged!

If the genders were reversed in this fml I think people would be a lot more understanding.

How? What does gender matter?

People generally feel more sympathy for a woman who is being abused by a man than a man being abused by a woman. People generally assume that men only get abused because they're weaklings, or that the abuse isn't really all that bad. I just think that if this post were written by a woman people mightn't put it down to her being spineless.
