Today, I got the, "It's not you, it's me" speech for the third breakup in a row. I'm beginning to think that they may not be entirely telling me the truth. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me using the "it's not you, it's me" speech with a slight variation, saying instead, "It's not me, it's you. And yes, I meant to say it that way round." FML
Today, I got broken up with by someone I wasn't even dating. They had gone radio silent for two weeks and just popped in to say it was "better to be honest" instead of radio silence. FML
Today, a guy I had developed feelings for broke things off with me, giving me a version of the “it’s not you, it’s me” line. This was the first person I had liked/wanted to date in almost 8 years. I think I’m destined to be alone. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because "we don't communicate enough". She got her friend to tell me this for her. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. I've heard some weird reasons before, but "My future self told me to" is a new one. FML
Today, my psychiatrist of 6 years suddenly and out of nowhere told me I need to see someone else. She gave me the equivalent of the "it's not you, it's me" speech. Actually her assistant told me via email. I basically got broken up with by someone I was paying a lot of money to talk to. FML
Today, a person who I've been talking to for months told me they were in a relationship with someone else. I work with this person and see them almost everyday. To top it off, they told me this over text. FML
Today, I had to leave my boyfriend because he was unfaithful. This is the third time in as many years. I'm starting to think I have "Cheat on me" written on my face. FML
Today, I received a text saying, "I don't think we should be friends anymore. You're terribly depressing and you make everyone unhappy" followed by, "Oops, wrong person!" and then by, "Sorry, it really is for you". FML
Today, I had to break up with my girlfriend twice. Apparently, the first time she thought I was kidding. FML

You guys should've stopped after the Maybelline joke

When I was a kid I thought the Maybelline commercials were saying, "Maybe it's make believe"

I think the problem is OP isn't the right person

It's nothing therapy and booze can't solve. I hear those go together nicely.

wow sherlock, glad we have you to come to that conclusion.

Even if it is a lie, they bothered to tell it. This tells me they really do care about you. Just not enough to date you.

Guess they're just not that into you

I'd say next time confront them and ask them exactly what the problem is.
chosha_fml 27
I'd say ask them without being confrontational.

May be a good time to contact the first 2 exes and asking them now it's less fresh.

Not all relationships are meant to work out. Don't blame yourself, maybe those other ones weren't ready to commit.

Aw definitely a lie. But it would definitely be me, and not you :)

Maybe it IS them.

Perhaps you're really to nice to your partner. So nice that you put them in a difficult situation. Even more when you're exagerately nice at the beginning of a relationship. Think about your behaviour because three clues make an evidence.

You can just ask me to hand you the straws, no need to reach across the table.
