Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he says I need to learn how to be happy without relying on him. I'm not a clinger, I'm just unhappy because my dad recently passed away, my best friend turned on me, and I lost out on the exchange program of my dreams. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 boyfriend of 4 years, whom I just signed a year lease, broke up with me, exactly a week after my best friend's funeral in my last year of college. I can't afford to live in our apartment alone. I'm going to have to drop out and move in with my sister states away. 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 of the last 2 years, who is suicidal and heavily depressed, left me because he thinks I "deserve better". Not to mention I was his best friend, therapist, mother and girlfriend all in one. He left me with rent due in a week and all other expenses because he couldn’t take care of me in return. FML
Today, my boyfriend of four years broke up with me because he wanted some independence. He moved back into his parents' house. FML
Today, my parents told me, after 30 years of marriage, that they are getting a divorce. I went to my boyfriend's apartment because I needed some comfort. While sobbing to him, he decided to dump me on the spot because my reaction to the news was "immature" and he wants an "adult" relationship. 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, I am pregnant, and my boyfriend dumped me, saying that he didn't want to be stuck in anything too serious. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently my mom hates him and doesn't want us to be together. My mom died six years ago. FML
Today, I was dumped. My boyfriend was too afraid to break up with me, so he sent the girl he cheated on me with. FML

You don't need someone as inconsiderate as him. I'd say you're better off single.. You're gonna find someone who'll be there for you sooner or later x

How much was the exchange program going to cost? And was your dad going to cover it then after he passed ( for which I am truly sorry by the way) was you bf going to pay for it? And after you bf wouldn't then your friends going to help, but ended up not? Cause that's what it sounds like. But yet again I can not describe how I would feel if I lost my dad, so I really feel for you there.

No, it's not low. In trying to figure out why first why her bf then her friends would drop her in such a crappy situation. I'm asking to understand what's going on. I never said the op was chasing $$. I mean lets say dad thought exchange program was an awesome thing for his daughter (I know I would for mine) and was going to pay for it. Then afterwards she doesn't have the money for it but wants to go, and her dad wanted to go. So she try's to have her bf that is supposed to love and support her help her. He leaves. So then she's asking her friends in a last ditch effort to help do this last thing her dad wanted her to do, and they leave. That's what it sounds like happened to me. But I don't know! And you don't either. So I'm asking. It's not low. And if you read this book I just wrote, I'm sorry for taking up your time.

Oooooorrr.....maybe her boyfriend and friends are just assholes? Which is far more likely situation than....whatever the hell you just came up with. o.O

Wow, or maybe she's just a bitch asking for sympathy, since nobody will give her any money.

Your mind is fascinating. I'm no scientist, but I'd love to examine just how your thought processes went when you came to the conclusion that the OP is a bitch who relied on her father for money and when he died, she then attempted to use her boyfriend and friends as a cash-cow. Because nothing in the FML implied any of that. I also love the little "maybe she's just a bitch asking for sympathy" comment...because god forbid OP wants some sympathy when her dad just died. Nope, the logical conclusion is that she MUST be a sympathy-stealing bitch who's more concerned about using people for money than the death of her father. Wait...you're not the OP's ex-boyfriend, are you? Because that would explain a lot.

Again I have been asking what the F happened that the bf and friends would drop her. It's interesting that that many people would do that for no good reason. I have been asking what their reasons might be. But everyone seems to think that asking means that I don't sympathize with her losing her dad. The two things might not be related. But both her bf and friends leaving seems and after they do or because they do she can't go on exchange programs sounds like there is more going on there. Now it's time for the stupid teenagers (age or mentality) to attack me again.

Well #69, You shouldn't have been specifically asking if the exchange program and the fact that she may have been asking for money was involved. That's why people are downvoting your previous comments. You're making it seem like she's the one at fault, which is wrong from the start. (And btw, saying *maybe she's a bitch looking for sympathy* is kind of a cruel thing to say, even IF you're still trying to figure out what happened...)

69, the boyfriend dumped her because she was unhappy and it's a huge possibility her friends disowned her before the split. I highly doubt the OP was just looking for money!!

Aww sorry to hear you're going through a rough time op but things can only get better from here because without that douche you can finally meet someone who truly cares and loves you enough to be there for you no matter what :)

Unfortunately the roughest times in our lives reveal the character of our inner circle. Sorry you had to find out during such a terrible time, OP.

She wasn't actually in an exchange program; she lost out on it. And just applying for it doesn't really say anything. She could have thought it sounded good, and then gotten scared and backed out. Not saying that's the case, just that it doesn't actually prove her independence.

Does he happen to wear condoms as clothing? He sounds like a dick, he might as well dress like one.

That's awesome! Never heard an insult quite like that before.

Did you tell him the reasons you were unhappy or were you poorly trying to hide it?
