Today, I told my boyfriend he's the only good thing left in my life. That's not a healthy relationship dynamic, he said, and ended up breaking up with me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I don’t have a life outside of him. I don’t have any friends other than him, nor do I have any hobbies or interests; he’s the centre of my world. Apparently this makes me too available, needy, and codependent. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me, because I was apparently "too good" for her. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, as he'd realised that life is really short, and he's got to enjoy with his friends. FML
Today, my boyfriend's proposal speech somehow ended with him breaking up with me. FML
Today, my (now ex) boyfriend and I had a fight, during which he said, "This is why I talk to other girls." I called him out for admitting to cheating and he told me I was toxic. 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, I told my boyfriend that I was going to stop drinking, since I have been having some problems with alcohol and some of my relatives are alcoholics. He later broke up with me, saying he couldn't be with someone who "chose to be boring." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were together for 10 months when he told me I’m the only person he’s ever been with who’s made him feel safe and able to be vulnerable and open up for the first time… and made him realise he has trauma to work through. He then dumped me on the spot so he could work through it. FML
Today, I told to my girlfriend of 5 years that I'm depressed about having no friends, no job and a difficult family life. I told her that she's the one constant that keeps me going. She decided this was a good time to break up with me to "find" herself, since I was being so mopey. FML
Today, in the same sentence, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to "spend the rest of his life with me," and "I want to break up with you because I can't face your family." FML

That is a pretty bad thing to do at a time like that... But he is right(about the dynamic part). I'm sorry you're having a rough time, but you aren't alone. I can say from experience that it gets better, and you come out stronger in the end.

As awful as that is, you dont need that kind of person around; you deserve someone better.

Although I feel terrible for you OP, I can definitely see where he was coming from; since I've been in that situation myself. I have to let you know, that having someone tell you that you're the only good thing in their life, or even worse (in my case) having someone tell you that you're the only thing keeping them alive, is an insane amount of pressure. And although you probably meant it with the best intentions, (and I'm only saying this from my experience), it is very stressful to be with someone who puts that pressure on you, and it's a horrible feeling to feel as though you are stuck being with someone because you are so afraid that if you wanted to leave, you might destroy that person or worse. And i know it's devastating for you, but honestly, you wouldn't want to be in a relationship with someone who is only with you because they pity you.

I personally would think that was just his way out that he's been looking for but that's just my logic. You'll find someone great but remember you got to love yourself before you can love and be loved. I hope you find someone great or work it out and have a happy and prosperous life!

I ended a relationship recently for pretty much the same thing. She had nothing going for her and I was supporting her. There were no signs of things getting better. It's hard to build a future with someone that views you as the only positive thing and everything thing revolves around the relationship usually makes things worse even if done with good intentions.

As awful as that feels, he's right, OP. If you're feeling that terrible, you shouldn't be in a relationship in the first place. That said, if and when you begin to feel better, please don't go running back to him. Once a relationship is over, it should stay over! Trying to get him back will only make things worse (and you'll be seen as desperate).

That does seem awfully clingy in my opinion. I'm sorry OP!

No good. Sorry for OP. But in the first place, what is the point in saying such a thing to a lover?
