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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe they are telling the truth.

That's a pretty standard line though. But hey, even if it is you, don't worry. Not everyone is perfect for each other, you'll find the right one eventually :)

I'm sorry, break ups suck in general. Don't take it too personally but realize that maybe you could work on some things and find someone even better :)

that's never a good speech to give

This is a tough situation...I've used that excuse and people have used it to me. It just shows you weren't meant to be. Take some time to work on yourself mentally and emotionally OP and don't worry about dating, this always helps. Definitely sucks though.

One's an incident, two's a coincidence, and three is a pattern.

Hang in there OP you'll find the right person some day

If you really think it might be you, OP, try and figure out why. People are saying you just haven't found the right person, etc, but there might be some real problem that will affect any relationship that you could work on or get better at and make the next relationship better from your side.

That's funny, at least you appear to have a good sense of humor. Good luck.
