Today, I really needed to be cheered up a bit after having had a horrible, depressing weekend. Luckily the guy I've been dating for some time, and who I really like, invited me over for dinner. Apparently, he wanted to see me so he could tell me he thinks we should stop seeing each other. FML

OP here (yeah, I decided to make an account.) You're all right about him being very polite and all that, he was super sweet and mature about it and I could see he felt genuinely bad. But you know... somehow it's easier if a guy breaks up in a stupid way, at least then you're like "ugh, whatever, I deserve better than this anyway!" Or is that just me?

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Kudos to him for having the strength and courtesy to do it in person.

Nothing a little B and J can't fix. It sucks now but try to keep your head up. Yes I was talking about ice cream.

How is that easier? Wouldn't that then make you label every other guy you try to date or see? Breaking up in person is how I work. Text, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram is not the way to break up with someone especially if it's in a stupid way or for a stupid reason.

So it could be "his" fault, and she could feel better.

It makes the separation easier in short term, but won't help in the long run...

Your self esteem is worth his good reputation? Wow.

uh, no where does it say she's bad mouthing him to people. I'm fairly certain that it is just a comforting thought...

To 87: Of course not. Just saying that, on the moment itself, it sometimes helps when you can just be angry, as opposed to being all "fuuuuuck this guy is so great I don't want to lose someone like him!!!" But of course I'm thankful that he's such a nice guy and I genuinely wish him all the best.

You sound like you are handling it very well and in a mature manor. I am sure you will find a great guy with that kind if attitude!

It's easier to get over them if they act like a jerk, haha. At least he was nice though, considering you were already having a rough time!

I had my girlfriend do this once. The reason she wanted to break up was because she didn't like a few things about me, and she thought she was too stupid for me (ironically the dumbest thing she's ever said, as I've always seen her as really smart). We sorted it out and stayed together.
