Today, my boyfriend broke up with me and left me crying in the street. I then got a text from my mom saying how pathetic my love life was. Apparently, it was a mass text message and she accidentally added me to the list. 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 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, I was trying to break up with my boyfriend over text. I was being really careful to phrase it nicely, and I hit send with a sigh of relief. Except I sent the text to my mom, who now keeps sending me unsolicited advice about my "love life" with an occasional "You go, girl!" FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. How? He invited my mother to his house for coffee with his parents, and told her. She then had to come home and tell me I’d been dumped. FML
Today, I was texting my mother after my boyfriend broke off our relationship. She offered incredibly supportive replies such as "No, really?" and "Aww, that sucks." before apparently getting bored and claiming she had to go because her "text reception" was breaking up. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me and threw all my stuff out into the yard because she caught me "texting another woman". Guess it didn't matter to her that the contact name was "Mom". FML
Today, I got a phone call from my mother asking me if I was okay. Confused, I asked her what she meant. She then told me that my boyfriend had broken up with me, and she just wanted to make sure I was handling it alright. I had to find out my relationship was over from my mom. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she heard me say "love you" on the phone. I was talking to my mom. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, by text, while we were in the same room. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me. I tried to hide my sadness from my mom. She still noticed, and tried to cheer me up. She took me to a funeral. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me in my front yard. As I stormed off in my dramatic exit, I realized I had locked myself outside. I had to ask my now ex-boyfriend to borrow his phone so I could call my mom. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I really am puzzled at why parents are so inquisitive and vocal about the relationships their children are in. Is it them trying to live vicariously through their children or are they simply too nosey? There is no excuse for this kind of behaviour and your mom needs to be told as much. She isn't 14 and gossiping with her friends, she's an adult and a mother. Tell her to grow up...

Aww, I'm sorry! Breakups are no fun. And you need your support network to get through it! I would check your mom off the checklist of people-to-lean-on. We all have people we know we can't trust with stuff like that. And make sure you pick trustworthy people. You deserve it! I hope you feel better!

If you read it properly, you would have seen that OP says it was a mass message and she accidentally added her to the list. It's just the timing that this occurrence had to happen that would have made OP feel worse.

hmmm... I think it's time for bed. Just realised what I wrote... and then re read the FML properly. Forget that last one.

Apparently she is one of those mothers who gossip about their children for attention -.-'

DocBastard was right when he said that sarcasm is poorly understood on fml.

well, when life gives you lemons, you put those lemons in a sack and beat your ex and your mom with them.

What if life only gives you two lemons? Should you just stick with that or should you add some rocks or sand into the mix?

You'll be okay op. Your mom has no life! So she has to talk about yours.

Is OP a friend of yours? No...? How can you then know her age?
lolbrick 0
because he is talking about OP's mother. is that too difficult for you to determine?

"she's not 14 and gossiping with her friends, she's an adult and a mother..." next time if you're going to criticize someones words make sure you have the intellect to understand what they're saying first.

A patent that has to mass text about their daughters love life is obviously lacking in both morals and a real social life. FYL for having a inconsiderate mother.

Also, if she's on Pay As You Go, she's taken a severe drop in credit. So... small karma bit?
