Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I heard my girlfriend refer to me as her “boyfriend for now”, as in the guy she strings along until she meets the guy she loves and wants to marry. We’ve been together for two years and rent a flat together. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 3 months broke up with me because he is moving. He's only moving 20 minutes away. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 3 years sprung the news that he had gotten a new job across the country and would be moving immediately. With his wife and children. First I'm hearing about them. FML
Today, my boyfriend moved. He moved from my room... to my housemate's room. FML
Today, I quit my job and sent a mass mail on Facebook that I was moving to a different state with my long time boyfriend. He called me later that night to tell me we aren't moving after all. Now we are both jobless with loads of bills to pay by the end of the month. FML
Today, my long-distance boyfriend of 3 years uttered the heartbreaking words, “I met this girl here in my hometown and she’s really great and we fell in love with each other, I can’t do this anymore. We’re over.” I was planning on moving to his town after graduation this year. FML
Today, my boyfriend referred me to me as "just a friend" to his ex. They swapped phone numbers. FML
Today, I was introduced to friends of my boyfriend as, "My other girlfriend." FML
Today, I finally got the courage to tell my boyfriend that I love him. We've been dating almost a year and in a few days we will be moving into the same apartment building and attending the same college. He said, "I'm sorry, I don't feel the same way." FML
Today, my boyfriend of 3 years left me for a girl he's barely known for 3 weeks. FML

Have you two spoken about this before? I mean, was this info out of nowhere? Maybe he's hurt that you're moving and doesn't really know what to say. Communicate if you havent!

Perhaps you should save him the trouble and dump his ass. (Unless he's joking, but still tell him to cut that shit out)

Bitter much?

Yea #1 is super bitter

How is that? He is saying he is going to break up with her in the future. She is just saying basically "why wait, do it your self"

Yeah, because not tolerating that someone calls you "his girlfriend for now" (implying that he doesn't really care all too much about you or simply wants to be hurtful and guilting you into staying) makes you bitter...

Maybe he wants her to dump him so he doesn't seem like the bad guy. Let's face it. nobody wants to be in a long distance relationship, and if it were discussed beforehand, clearly the bf isn't going. He could be saying it for a number of reasons, but I can understand where he's coming from. She essentially chose work over him, so if anyone is allowed to be bitter, its the man who realized his girlfriend cares more about money than being with him.

Yeah, you should probably say your ex. That's a disaster waiting to happen if you continue dating him.

Is it possible that he's joking?

I guess a few moths is just too many.

watch me get down voted. So if the boyfriend found out his girlfriend was taking a job offer out of state AFTER the fact he has no right to be upset, concerned for their relationship and its viability, and a smart ass because his feelings got hurt. I admit its childish and yeah he is already checked out so ex fits.

What?

honestly I'm kinda in agreeance with you. if OPs boyfriend didn't know about the job and she accepted without discussing it at all. it probably made him feel like he's not part of her future plans and the comments are just his way of dealing with what he thinks is probably coming..the breakup. not enough context to really know the situation either way.

its the other way around. if they were dating and out of nowhere she tells hims shes moving, he has every right to be upset and sure maybe he shouldnt be childish but its messed up. now if she told him beforehand that she got an offer and was thinking about it, before actually accepting it, then at least she was bwing considerate and showed that she valued his opinion and if she accepts then he would have to man up and accept it or not. however it seems she was simply like "btw im moving in a few months for a new job i did t tell you about"

Ugh, lesson learned. Punctuation is so important. It was a question not a statement. Given where comments were heading I was asking them to see the other side.
