Today, I realized I apologize too often as I said I was sorry to my boyfriend as he broke up with me. I apologized for being sad and making him feel bad. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I apologized to my boyfriend for thinking he was cheating on me right before another girl posted pictures of them together on her myspace. FML
Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. I said that at least I was always there for him when he needed me. He said "When did I need you?" FML
Today, at around 1 am, my boyfriend drunk-dialed and broke up with me. He didn't seem to remember he had already broken up with me yesterday. Thanks for reminding me. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend called my parents to let them know I broke up with him. He was sobbing. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I'm too nice. Apparently, me being nice to him makes him feel guilty. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she heard me say "love you" on the phone. I was talking to my mom. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. I had only been dating him for about a month. Thinking he wouldn't take it very hard, I invited him over so I could tell him in person. Little did I know he was going to start crying on my couch and not leave for 5 hours. FML
Today, I fucked up a relationship, by accident, and then they broke up. FML
Today, my girlfriend has yelled at me multiple times for saying sorry too much. It's involuntary, due to me constantly being told I never do anything right growing up by my parents. She knows this, and is even then one who helped me realize this, and still yells at me for it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why would it matter where OP is from? People in America and Europe can have this problem.

sometimes people do this as a nervous habit, or genuinely feel most things are their fault.

#12. Michigan is just a left hand turn at the maple tree from Canada though... And people do move...

It's understandable. People from Michigan have a lot to be sorry about.

I'm Canadian... We aren't all as apologetic as the media makes us out to be.

I wonder why you're down voted

She's from Michigan, but I understand where you're coming from OP. I used to apologize a lot as well when I was younger (when people crashed into me, when someone was in my way, etc.). Just work on it!

Same problem. It takes a lot to fix it, and it's usually habit. Try and catch yourself when saying 'I'm sorry' to sympathize and instead say 'I feel bad for you'. Good luck with your ex, as well OP.

My girlfriend does the same thing. It is actually a cute thing and it shows that you are kind and willing to take responsibility, but you should try to be a little more confident!

I have the same problem, one time I apologized for doing somebody's work for them after they said thank you, then I apologized for saying that instead of your welcome...

It seems like a hard habit to get over but on the bright side it shows how caring you are to try to spare someone's feelings ^^

You might want to fix that just in case you ever get into an automobile accident. People will take that as an acknowledgement of fault.

Hey OP I definitely know how you feel and to be honest, it can be a pretty difficult habit to get out of. One thing that can help is, whenever possible, instead of apologizing for your emotions, thank people for dealing with them. Or in situations like these, remind yourself that what you feel is valid and does not need an apology.
