Today, I pointed out to my boyfriend how Valentine's day, my birthday, and our one-year anniversary were all coming up in the next few weeks. He then promptly broke up with me. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend gave me the best birthday ever, then promptly broke up with me at midnight to get back with his ex, because he "didn't want to ruin my special day." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he wants to break up. But not until after our anniversary tomorrow, because he's already gotten dinner reservations for us. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I woke up to a text message from my boyfriend, breaking up with me. When I commented on his impeccably bad timing, he admitted he'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because I'm too "high maintenance" during the holidays. Not to worry, though; he's willing give me another chance sometime after Valentine's day. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend of two years that I wanted to get married eventually, and there's no way to talk me out of it. He broke up with me immediately. FML
Today, I hadn’t seen my boyfriend since New Year’s Day, then we went out for lunch Valentine's Day and at the end of the date he didn’t even kiss me. He texted me at midnight tonight saying he sorry he’s a jerk and broke up with me. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend made me breakfast in bed, then we went out shopping, had a picnic, watched a good romcom, had a fancy dinner, and ended the day with great sex. And when the clock struck twelve, he dumped me. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years sent me a text message saying, "Don't worry I'm gonna break up with her soon. Love you." FML
Today, my boyfriend's proposal speech somehow ended with him breaking up with me. FML
Today, I was going to take my boyfriend to Napa. It's my birthday and I wanted to do something big since last year my fiancée called off the wedding. My boyfriend just broke up with me because I'm "clearly not over" my ex. This makes two consecutive birthdays alone in romantic hotels I paid for. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Someone who changes their mind a lot.

I believe the word you're looking for -68 - is fickle.

This is one of those FMLs where I really feel like some information is missing. For all we know, OP and her boy could have broken up for entirely unrelated reasons, or perhaps OP wanted many nice gifts. I can't really vote either way on this one. But, I suppose going off of the limited information available, yes, OP's boyfriend seems like a dick for breaking up with her over the upcoming special dates.

I bought my ex gf a 130$ belly button ring for her birthday. She bought me some Oreos for mine...

Mmmmmmm....Oreos

It's the same thing with me and my gf. Except unlike yours I just resigned myself to ramen noodles for the next couple of months.

Now your a good guy lol, especially to be willing to sacrifice one of your 3 basic needs lol.

Beer pizza and smokes?
RedPillSucks 33
That's only two (I love a good beer pizza, grammar nazi ho!)

Sleeping, eating and sex. He simply loses the eating :)

Valentines day is overrated for couples anyways. I know everybody uses it as a sob story for being single, but seriously, most guys aren't going to plan anything movie worthy anyways, and most people won't plan anything. That being said... what a jerk. As long as you aren't the person who thinks you deserve presents on all those days. If you would be happy with a card, then he's a jerk. If you wanted a whole bunch of presents, then YDI.

Wow hello, vday is special to some couples and it can mean a lot of things to people

@17 - I hope you realize that cards are ******* expensive these days. A little piece of card stock with possibly an envelope for $4? Buy some ******* chocolates, they're cheaper, AND YOU CAN EAT THEM!

17 - Personally the only reason I hate being single on V-Day is because I'm usually stuck working that night. In retail, every customer cares about the cashier's business. One stray hair? Oh, they have to tell you. You cleared your throat? You must be sick!! Here are ten remedies for that. I can't tell what's more common - A presumptuous "Oh, you poor thing. Your boyfriend must not like you working Valentine's day evening" or an attempt to pick up a last minute date. Why does it matter so much? Just go buy your chocolates and leave me to earn my money like I do any other day of the year. /rant over

The best part of Valentine's Day is the day after when chocolate is 75% off.
tmmundy 17
110...You couldn't be more correct. That's when you can buy extra chocolate. Yum!

Classic cheapskate move! Don't worry, you two will have a great St. Patty's Day together (you may have to buy the green beer, though.) If you like him, you can say that he's thrifty and frugal, when everyone else knows that he is a miserly, cheap bastard.

18- I am just ridiculously pleased to see someone use the word "miserly". Thank you so much.
perdix 31
You are welcome. Let me know when you are having a rough day, because I can also use "penurious" in a sentence. That would cheer you right up! ;)
RedPillSucks 33
How about "penile" and "testicular" ?
klutz44 28
I apologize in advance but this is a pet peeve of mine. It's St. Paddy's Day. Patty is the female nickname for Patricia. Paddy is the male nickname for Patrick. Unless you we're referring to St. Patricia's Day, in which case...carry on.
perdix 31
#111, cool. I guess when you realize that Patrick comes from Padraig, it makes sense. Since Peking went back to Beijing, and Bombay became Mumbai, isn't it time for you Patricks to get authentic again?
Jezzababy 10
Of! That's the same with me! Minus the breaking up part... Sorry about that :( he's not worth it if that was a reason for breaking up with you. What a selfish bastard
perdix 31
#22, same with me, except my birthday is in January, I don't have a boyfriend, I don't have a one-year anniversary coming up and nobody dumped me. Otherwise, I am indistinguishable from the OP in every respect.

If he couldnt afforded it he could of just said. :/ men can be just as confusing as women.
