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.

People in OPs mindset think that comments like that will make their partner feel good about themself. They are wrong. It makes their partners feel the weight of a whole person's well-being on their shoulders. His timing was rather unkind, but it's a tough situation to be in, and I doubt he meant to do it like that (it sounds like it sparked an argument which led to the break up, not an on-the-spot breakup).

If he was able to break up with you in such situation, then trust me when I say that you're better without him OP I'm sure you still love him and also you miss him, but as the time passes by you'll realize that it wasn't the end of the world, just move on (:

Don't build your life around a person OP. They are a part of your life, not everything entirely. It depends on your attitude to take steps to make everything better.

He's right, that isn't a healthy dynamic.

To be fair OP, I think he did you a favor. Though he was a douche about it. If he was unwilling to stand by you emotionally then staying in the relationship is indeed not healthy. If you can, find ways to get out and meet people. This rut won't last forever

Well as mean of him it was to Do that he does have a point, and it was a lot of you to put on him, so both of you are at fault here prolly for the best.

Sorry love - he's got a point. Co-dependency isn't hot!

He's right though putting that on a person is a big burden I'm sure you have good things going for you take a step back and see your life from a different perspective. Dumping you however was a total dick move and you did not deserve that. Take care OP I hope things start to look up for you.
