Today, my boyfriend told me he wants to break up. But not until after our anniversary tomorrow, because he's already gotten dinner reservations for us. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to break up with me but it had to be after our cruise together because he doesn't want to lose out on money. Can't wait for the Bahamas. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me to dinner. As we waited for our food he took my hand and said, "I think we should break up." When I got outside, my tire was flat. FML
Today, I pointed out to my boyfriend how Valentine's day, my birthday, and our one-year anniversary were all coming up in the next few weeks. He then promptly broke up with me. FML
Today, at exactly midnight, I get a text from my boyfriend saying we were done. I had just seen him 4 hours ago when we were out celebrating my birthday, and asked why he didnt just tell me then. He replies 'I couldn't break up with you on your birthday but i wanted it to be over ASAP' FML
Today, in the same sentence, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to "spend the rest of his life with me," and "I want to break up with you because I can't face your family." 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, my boyfriend dumped me. He decided he would be a gentleman and do this to me at work, over text, during a rush of unsympathetic customers, the day before our anniversary. FML
Today, it was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. We had dinner reservations to an expensive restaurant and planned to see a movie after. At least, we did, until he called to tell me he'd volunteered to work tonight. He won't get off until 2am. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML
Today, my fiancé broke it off with me on our 3-year anniversary at 12:01 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning. Guess who gets to go to family gatherings where everyone will be asking where he is. FML

Your boyfriend needs to be your ex boyfriend, and he needs to go to dinner alone. As for you my dear you need to hold your head high and your middle finger higher.

Show up for dinner with a date. You're single aren't you?

Brilliant :)

Solution 1: Stand him up at the restaurant. Solution 2: Show up, order the most expensive thing on the menu, then dine and dash. (I wouldn't usually recommend that, but since he seems to be such a douche...)

Stand him up, or go and order the most expensive thing there is and kindly 'excuse yourself to the bathroom'.

I got beat to it, several times. I am aware.

Tell him you'll only allow the break up to be on hold if he buys you an expensive gift. Then you get free dinner, a present, and possibly great break up sex. Win-win all around! :)

That sounds great... Sell your self respect for a bit of food and a present... OP, go to the restaurant and kick the ****** in the balls as hard as you can...

Go ahead and have the free dinner with him, then at the end, kick him in his balls and walk out like a boss... Win/win... What an asshat!

Just go get the most expensive dish and drink screw it treat yourself to an expensive dessert and just leave after you're done.

How odd. I've heard of guys breaking up with their girlfriends a day before their anniversary, just so he won't have to spend any more money on her.

Order the the most expensive thing on the menu

Free dinner or not, I personally wouldn't go... Have some pride and tell the man no! Then break it off with him first... Then emphasize how he is the absolute worst!

I wouldn't recommend you go to dinner. In theory it sounds good to get a free meal and take advantage but I really think the awkwardness is going to ruin your evening. The bad feelings are already there. Besides he must really want to go and won't go alone so you'd still be giving him what he wants without regard for yourself. I'd cancel last minute and ruin the arrogant pricks night. If you do go, you deserve everything that comes with it.
