Today, I got an email saying the gift I'd ordered for my boyfriend of three years had been sent. I ordered it a couple of days ago because I thought he needed cheering up. I guess he found a better way of doing so himself; he broke up with me yesterday. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend of a over a year broke up with me. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't written him a long letter about how much I love him, and that I'm so glad we're together and so glad that he promised he would always be there. He'll be getting it in a few days. FML
Today, my boyfriend of a year dumped me by text. It's also the day that the birthday present I ordered for him was finally processed and shipped, meaning I can't cancel and get my money back. FML
Today, my long-distance boyfriend broke up with me. Tomorrow he should be getting the super long love letter that I poured my heart into and sent him a week ago. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me to stay home, because he wanted to come by to give me a birthday surprise. Later on, he came by, posted a note, rung the bell and left. The note was a break up note. FML
Today, I got a phone call from my boyfriend breaking things off with me. He waited until the day after Christmas because he wanted all his presents. And he got me nothing. FML
Today, I was making out with my boyfriend. When we took a break and went downstairs, he checked the mail. He had received a letter from his ex-girlfriend, which he opened in front of me. He then began sobbing on my shoulder and broke up with me. He still had to drive me home. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a $100 gift card for Victoria's Secret. Suspicious, I checked the receipt he'd left in the bag. Turns out he had bought it during the two weeks we were broken up for some other girl who rejected him, so decided to give it to me instead. FML
Today, my boyfriend of three years sent me several flowers and chocolate boxes to my office. It ends up that he cheated on me with my sister and tried to break the news to me after all the presents he sent. I thought he actually remembered our anniversary this year. FML
Today, I got a postcard from my boyfriend who is on vacation in the Caribbean. He's breaking up with me. FML
Today, I got an early Valentine's day card. My boyfriend and I recently broke up, and my hopes shot up thinking it might be from him. It wasn't. It was from my parents. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Hold on to the gift, and give it to someone else later.

Just let him know about the inopportune timing so he doesn't get the retarded idea that you're "a crazy ex" or some stupid thing.

The same thing happened to me, I just gave it to him. I suggest you do the same provided you don't hate him and you don't want the gift yourself.

I recently broke up with my girlfriend of 3 years. I have a ton of stuff from her that I've no idea what to do with.. Can't bear to see it go, but at the same time, I don't want it in my house. I also ordered something for her that she got AFTER we broke up.. Maybe he'll see the gift and decide he made a mistake.

Either return it and get your money back or, IF he was an ass during the breakup, send it to him broken, or give it to someone he knows and mention it had originally been ordered for him.

I think you should still give it to him, tell him the truth. That you ordered it a few days before and were going to surprise him :) maybe it'll open his eyes to what a great person you are and that he made a huge mistake

Can you cancel the order? Or stop it, call them up and explain the situaton. I know it sounds embarrassing but, a lot of times, if you explain, they'll help you.

Hopefully for you it's just a mood swing where he needs time off...
