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

Maybe take a chance on a girl you wouldnt normally go for. Maybe ur looking for love in the wrong place and going after a certain "type" who doesn't mesh well with your type.

Everyone has that one person that's right for them, they obviously weren't that person. So don't get down on yourself, just be patient and that person will come eventually. :b

I wouldn't take it personally. The person obviously wants to just experiment with different kinds of people. Does not necessarily mean your uninteresting. Once they explore, they may come to realize that you were the best fit

I'll be honest with you, OP. It's not the Swiggity they don't like, it's the Swooty.

Don't beat yourself up about it. I ended a 4 year relationship in September. Dated between then and March and I got the same thing. Now I've been with my gf for 4 months and things are wonderful :) keep your head up and most importantly, don't change!

If it's them AND they love you, they would think about changing themselves instead of breaking up. But if it's the third time, it's maybe you who has to change... However in both cases it's not anyone's fault (unless it's a cheating matter) so don't lose hope.

People only change so much, why is it generally assumed the guy is the one to change to fit what the woman would want. Reminds me of Carlos Mencia joke: Women always complain it's the guys fault they can't reach climax and it's the guys fault they can't. Why is it the guy maybe it it is you. Sometimes it is we gotta look in the mirror and be honest about how we treat people and how realistic our expectations are in relationships.
