Today, it was my birthday. I spent all day in bed, sick with the flu. My boyfriend then broke up with me by text, because he didn't want to risk getting sick by doing it in person. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got the flu. Feeling really sick and depressed, I called my boyfriend to get some comfort. When he didn't answer his phone, I called his house, only to hear his mother telling me, "He was so sad that you guys broke up." I didn't know. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I woke up to a text message from my boyfriend, breaking up with me. When I commented on his impeccably bad timing, he admitted he'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend made me breakfast in bed, then we went out shopping, had a picnic, watched a good romcom, had a fancy dinner, and ended the day with great sex. And when the clock struck twelve, he dumped me. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. When I asked why, she replied with "You don't go out anymore. All you do is lay in bed." I've had the flu for the past week. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 8 years broke up with me on my 30th birthday, through text message. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me two days before my birthday. Only to make it worse, I found out that he had been texting my mother on how to break up with me. To make it even worse, she was giving him tips. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me to stay home, because he wanted to come by to give me a birthday surprise. Later on, he came by, posted a note, rung the bell and left. The note was a break up note. FML
Today, my boyfriend of a year dumped me by text. It's also the day that the birthday present I ordered for him was finally processed and shipped, meaning I can't cancel and get my money back. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me the best birthday ever, then promptly broke up with me at midnight to get back with his ex, because he "didn't want to ruin my special day." FML
Today, I woke up on my boyfriend's bedroom floor. When I asked him why I was there, he said I'd gotten too hot, so he rolled me off his bed. I have the flu and a fever. FML

Go over to him and tell him what a jerk he is in person. After your birthday of course, today is all about you. Happy birthday!

The logic behind this: She's sick and it's her birthday and the only logical way to solve the problem is to break up with her. Yeah your boyfriend was stupid

OP has a terrible boyfriend. When i got sick from food poisoning my boyfriend sat in the bathroom with me and held my hair and his top phobia is when people throw up. On the bright side, I hope you feel better OP and have a great birthday!

#20 - Did he hurl too? Now that's what I call a team building exercise.

@11 I'm guessing that the boyfriend was probably planning on breaking up with her and just coincidentally did it on her birthday, because he's an unfeeling jerk. I don't think he broke up with her because she was sick.

If that's all he's worried about when you're sick then better to say good riddance. Feel well soon.

He posted M to try to be first, then eddited his comment with whatever he actually wanted to say.

That'll make OP sound like a clingy, obsessive girlfriend; she's better off without him.
Kateyez_26 13
Well as long as she's not threatening to kill herself if he doesn't marry her after 3 weeks

I don't understand the logic...not as an insult, I legitimately don't get it.

Sucks, but you are better off without someone as inconsiderate as him. You will find a better bf.

It's unbelievable that people think it's acceptable to break up over text message. And on your birthday. Couldn't he wait a day or two?
Treveyon56 14
Well I for one don't see why people get so pissed over text break ups. I've never done it but don't see why it matters. And second would you have preferred he went to see her acting all happy when he wasn't. That only makes memories of fake happiness.

It matters because he's supposed to have the stones to do it in person, rather than doing it the cowards way, and on her birthday of all days.
Treveyon56 14
I can understand it was her birthday, but honestly if a person doesn't want to be in a relationship anymore they really don't haven't wait for a day that's best for the other person. I also think people take text message dumps way too personal when even if it's face to face you still be upset.

I hope no one ever dates you #77.
Treveyon56 14
Well don't waste your hope because I do have a girl. And I hope you be less of a bitch.

You're better off without him, OP. Nobody deserves to be treated like that on their birthday, especially when they're already having a bad day. Happy Birthday! :)
