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

I used to have a manipulative ex like that. When she couldn't outsmart me she turned to pure desperation. No matter what I did she always had a way of crawling back into my life. She crashed her car, swallowed pinesol and went to the hospital, etc. After years it got to the point where for my own health, I no longer cared if she lived or died. Apathy is a dangerous place for a relationship and if you don't want to be with her but are now stuck, you'll be in that place too. Save yourself and her and end it. Things will get worse! Girls have been getting pregnant to keep a man around since the bible days. Send a text message saying it's over, turn off your phone for a week and then change your number, delete your email, block her on facebook, even get a restraining order if need be, but please end the relationship. You are stronger than this! You will be so much happier!

to those bitching at us calling him spineless (no balls, a pussy, whatever).... it has nothing to do with masculinity, and I'd say the same thing to a woman. the stupidest thing you could do is become more attached, more involved in her life. I don't care how manipulative or conniving someone is... if you really want out, truly want to cut ties, when it comes down to a situation like this you should be able to have a little conviction and just do it. you don't have to be an ass about it, but firm, consistent, and unwavering (and yes, I have experience with this). do whatever you have to do... just do it!

Sorry that sucks. There is still time to end it though. Get a move on. You'll be unhappy for the rest of your life if you don't.

My god, man. Pull your balls out of her purse and give them some air. They may never function after this.
