Today, I left for vacation in Mexico. Upon landing, I received a text message from the guy I've been seeing. It read, "Sorry, I'm not boyfriend material. Have a good trip." I paid 75 cents to get dumped, internationally. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a postcard from my boyfriend who is on vacation in the Caribbean. He's breaking up with me. FML
Today, I flew to Mexico with my (now ex) boyfriend of two years. It was my first time flying, and apparently I have a fear. I had a panic attack on the plane. When we landed, I got dumped for "causing a scene." I am now stranded in Mexico alone for two weeks with no hotel room booked. FML
Today, I texted my boyfriend of two years and asked if he wanted to go to ball with me. His response was "The person you are trying to message cancelled their phone service and moved to Mexico. Taco taco burrito." I'll take that as a no. FML
Today, the guy I have been seeing left town to visit his family for three weeks. A few hours later, he called me from the airport to say he is never coming back. FML
Today, I was dumped via text halfway through my 8-hour bar shift. I had to deal with my co-workers and customers asking me how my vacation with my now-ex was for the next 4 hours. FML
Today, I ran into my boyfriend at the mall, the same boyfriend who'd told me he was going on a family vacation to Mexico. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I went on vacation. We flew 2000 miles, got off the plane, got our bags and stood outside the airport for our ride. She looks at me and says, "I can't do this anymore." So, she broke up with me and flew back home. Now I'm on vacation alone. FML
Today, I got home from visiting my long-distance girlfriend. I spent $366 to get a plane ticket to visit her for the week. The day after I arrived there, she broke up with me and I had to buy a ticket for an earlier flight home. With fees and penalties, I paid around $550 to be broken up with. FML
Today, I'm on vacation with my best friends. We went to a club and I drunk texted my girlfriend of one year about how nice everything is and how much I miss her. She responded by breaking up with me because she likes me more as a friend. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I was "angry" at him. I was angry because last night he turned off his phone and left me locked out of the Airbnb that I had paid for. Until 3 am. In a foreign country. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Thats great. He gave you a free pass to do who ever you want. Would have sucked if he told you when you got back.

US carriers generally charge for incoming text messages, and in some cases text messages received while roaming are not covered by any unlimited messaging plan. #22, you have to pay for incoming text messages regardless of whether or not you "open" it. What you do to view a message on your phone has no bearing on if you get charged, as the message has already been delivered. Your provider has no idea if you view the SMS or not.

why is the OP getting called whiny when most of the comments here are whining about text messages. Does nobody remember long distance calls and how they were more expensive than local calls on a landline? have none of you ever traveled to a different country and had to pay an arm and a leg for calls/text messages from back home? it's pretty much common knowledge i thought.

#25 that may be true but it's 75 cents. That's three quarters; you can find on the ground taking a stroll through the park. Is the OP complaining about being dumped or is she complaining about paying less than a dollar to be dumped...because either one isn't really fmylife material.

As people have said, she's clearly complaining just at the ironic fact that she PAID to be dumped, the amount does not matter. I doubt the 75cents is anything to her when she paid for the whole trip to Mexico and all.

Maybe he dumped you because he doesn't trust you down in Mexico for Spring Break?... Girls Gone Wild, MTV, all that other BS that shows a bunch of college girls being big ******.. Could have gotten a little nervous... Should have invited him.

So everybody who is going on about how it was 75 cents is missing the point, the dude dumped her via text message and likely put a damper on her vacation, because he's a douchebag. Sorry hon :/ Though I guess it's better than him cheating on you while you were gone and then it being a big deal when you got back. Least now you can flirt with any hot Mexican dudes you see and not feel guilty!

Wow, sounds like he planned that out. He wanted to make sure you were far enough away that you couldn't freak out on him in person.

Screw him! Have a good time in Mexico, and then go home and have a good time there too =D

I think he may have been alluding to the fact that you went to mexico without him. I think he meant "sorry i'm not boyfriend material, i.e. boyfriend enough for you to take with you"
