Today, I told my best friend I was breaking up with my girlfriend of 3 years. He thought it would be funny to tell her I was going to propose to her that night. She showed up telling me how much she loves me and that when we get married how great it will be. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I announced to my friends that I'd proposed to my girlfriend and she'd said yes. I thought they'd be happy for me, since they were the ones who introduced me to her after all. Instead, they all were flabbergasted. One told me, "You realize we set you up with that fat chick as a joke, right?" FML
Today, after three years of dating, my boyfriend finally proposed. To my best friend. FML
Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. FML
Today, I planned on "breaking up" with my best friend by confessing my love for her, hoping she would feel different and move on. She reciprocated. FML

Today, I went to my girlfriend's house to break up with her. It was a hard decision and both of us became quite emotionally overwhelmed at the time. We began to hug as a final goodbye, then her mum burst in the room and yelled, "HE FINALLY PROPOSED!" FML

Today, I invited over my best friend, whom I've loved for over a year, since she had to tell me "something important". I got excited and thought she was going to tell me she loved me too. She ended up coming out to me, and wanted to know if I would meet her girlfriend. FML
Today, I get to see my best friend and love of my life of two years marry the man she loves. Back then, I lied and told her I was gay to avoid her finding out my feelings for her. FML
Today, my girlfriend’s friend decided she wanted to tell her that I was flirting with other girls, just so we would break up. It worked. FML

More a **** HER life. You had to hurt someone more bad than you expected and of course that sucks, but she's the one that expected a proposal but got broken up with.

That was really mean to your girlfriend. You should tell her what he did. Maybe she'll go kick him in the nuts. He'd deserve it.

#27 or she will kick him in the nuts. him being the closest target and it being his fault for gossiping about it like a little girl rather than handling it like a man.

So it's gossip for somebody to say "hey dude, i'm thinking about breaking up with my girlfriend."? I mean, if he like sent a mass text to 30 friends saying it then yeah, but telling your BEST FRIEND stuff is most definitely. And him "not handling it like a man" would have been if he had told that best friend to tell the girl to save himself.

Your best friend is an ass. But a funny ass. Still, how could your girlfriend not know something was wrong? If you were ready to break up with her?

i feel horrible for the girl!!! Obviously she has major feelings for you after three years...how do you just throw three years away overnight? YDI for being a heartless man.
arcadiaware 0
He's a heartless man? Obviously the guy realized after three years he didn't want to be with her. Which is more heartless, sticking around to make her happy even though he'll stop caring about her in a meaningful way, wasting both of their times? Or breaking up with her because he's tired of her? I love the people who get mad at someone for ending any relationship longer than a year. They act like the person ending it is such a jerk, but we have no clue how much he dislikes being with her because she's annoying.

He's not heartless. He did her a favor. He released her so they could both find happiness, rather than be stuck in a dead-end relationship. The last option would make him heartless. OP: FYL. I'm sorry you have a ******** friend. I'd hit him.

Yeah really. It's not like we know the situation...the girl could be some controlling bitch for all we know. And 3 years isn't that long before marriage...my parents dated for SEVEN years and still ended up not knowing each other once they married.

But leading her on for three years is not only cruel, it's cowardly. If the relationship weren't meant to be, unless he was totally ignorant, he would've realized it a long time ago. He deserved it for not being true to himself and hurting someone else in the process.

Not true. It wasnt leading her on or cowardly. He might have been afraid to tell her how he really felt. Something might have happened between them where he didnt feel the same about her. He could possibly not see the relationship going anywhere. Some people stick around becasue they think that things will get better after a longer period of time, but then realize its not going to. There are so many reasons why he couldve decided to break up with her.

Sometimes things change after three years. We don't know the situation, but to claim that this person is a bad person for dating a woman for three years then breaking up with her is claiming that everyone who breaks up after a long period of time is bad. That's just ridiculous. He might have been happy up to this point. Maybe something else changed, maybe one of them has to move, maybe she cheated, none of us can know, but based on this FML, I don't see how he did a single thing wrong.
