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!

This makes very little sense now...

Refer to him as "my future ex"

Well, you have to consider, he may be a bit hurt that you are gonna be going away, especially after not even consulting him about whether you should take this potential job. It is your decision, but maybe you should've made that decision with people that are important to you. He may think that a long distance relationship won't work, as it so often doesn't.

Yeah, what else would you do in his place?

It's good you're weeding the bad ones out early. Don't let a relationship hold you back. Live your life, excel at your job, and love will find you.

sounds awfully sudden. thats a huge expectation for him to uproot his life for you.

it doesn't sound like she was expecting him to uproot and move with her- I also recently moved across the country for a job but my boyfriend and I are doing long distance for a little while until I find something closer to our agreed upon "settling down" area. It's possible OP was anticipating a temporary long distance situation. what we don't know, though, is if she told him that she was considering a job out of state.

How long is the average moth exactly?

What the heck else is he supposed to call her?? She "informed him" sounds like no prior discussion, she clearly doesnt take this relationship seriously or plan on continuing it.

I guess he can't understand that you probably have mixed feelings about it to try not to take it too personally op. Good luck with the move and job

It's gonna take an awful lot more than "a few" moths to move you and your stuff to another state. Might wanna get a few more.

Not necessarily. The first time I moved it was within a week.
