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

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 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

If he can't stay beside you through the rough stuff, he's not worth it. I'm sorry op, things will get better.

This one really does suck. You have been through a lot but you're better off without that dick.

"...and this too shall pass" My mom always said this to me anytime I was going through something hard. She passed away 7 years ago, and I always remember her words during difficult times. It will get better OP, it just takes time.

I know exactly what you are going through, I've been there a few months ago. Even though I'm still not over my dad's passing, life definitely got better. I got a wonderful job and great new friends. And even though I miss having a boyfriend sometimes, I feel so much better being single. My point is, life gets better and this an extremely awful experience that you have to go through but that will turn you into a better person. You will learn to enjoy every single time with your loved ones, you will learn how to identify wether a friend is true or not and you will be able to find a better man for yourself, eventually. But one thing is true, you won't be able to control missing your dad, that is something a person learns to live with, hopefully. I wish you the best!

Good riddance to bad rubbish on account of your douche boyfriend and best friend. I'm sorry for the loss of your father.

That's really is terrible. One point I must pick up on is that if you had been on an exchange program or intending to get on one you can't have cared all that much about your boyfriend. Sounds to me like the two of you we're probably shafted either way. As for the rest of it, condolences and look at redefining your idea of 'best friend'.

The fact op wanted to go on exchange may also mean that she recognized the fact that although boyfriend is important, she also needs to take care of her own personal development and experiences. I guess it definitely confirms she's not a clinger, as she said; but lots of couples make it through temporary separation. It's XXI century, there are way to stay as close as possible while being away in a physical sense.

62, so it would have been better for her to cling to her boyfriend and never go out and live her own life? Yeah, no. Having ambitions and pursuing them does not mean you're a bad person who doesn't care about loved ones. In fact, it's admirable, she's obviously independent enough to do something like that.

Wha a jerk! He doesn't deserve you if he's not going to help you through this. You deserve better. I'm sorry to hear about everything that's going on.
