Today, the girl I've liked for over a year, broke up with me after just 2 weeks of dating, all because I'm a better pianist then her. I've been playing since I was 8. She's been playing for 6 months. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after an argument with my pianist girlfriend about how bad my favourite song would sound on the piano, she stormed out of the room crying, leaving behind a CD. It was the piano version of the song she'd made for me. FML
Today, after I'd told this girl I’m seeing that I play piano to impress her, it turns out her father is a pianist and has a grand piano in their house. Tonight, I’m supposed to go to her place to play her my "favorite piece." FML
Today, I was dumped by the guy who serenaded me with his guitar and admitted he had feelings for me. Why? Because the girl who had continuously been rejecting him for so long finally decided to give him a chance. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me, because I was apparently "too good" for her. FML
Today, I found out my friends were dating, which, OK, might seem normal. Unfortunately, I had this really big crush on this girl. I really admired her because she was a pianist and I was a violinist, and we often jammed together. I was gonna tell her, but before I could she told me she has a boyfriend now. FML
Today, after spending months learning how to play the guitar and memorizing the music to my girlfriend's all-time favorite song, I performed it for her. Her response? "Well, you kind of ruined that song for me now." FML
Today, I poured my heart out to my girlfriend with a serenade. After I finished, she told me she'd come over to tell me she'd found someone else and wanted to break up. FML
Today, my boyfriend of a year broke up with me. All because I’m thinking of moving to the UK next year to study, and apparently, a girl he’s been thinking about for a week is a better option. FML
Today, my girlfriend of six months broke up with me. In her words, “Liking you fucked up my brain.” Later that afternoon, she posted a story of her with another dude’s arm around her. FML
Today, after practicing a song for my girlfriend on guitar all day, I called her over to my house to show it to her. After a long speech about how "this is for you," I played for about 3 seconds before I broke a string, which slapped her in her face. FML

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but it's better that this happened early on. Now you can avoid devoting so much time to someone who would let a good thing go over something so childish.

If she is that shallow, you're probably better off.

are you sure it's not because of your fingering technique?

Sounds like you dodged a narcissism bullet...

I think it's not much of a stretch to say that this was not the underlying reason. For example: you could have been an ass about it. Or she was unconvinced about the whole dating in the first place. Or anything that we don't know from this short story.

If she broke up over that, she's not worth it.

She's a b*tch and not worth it.

Are you truly upset about this OP? Seems rather clear she is nothing but a waste of time. The real FML is that for over a year you were pining for such a petty bitch.

It's hard for me to believe that was the actual reason for breaking up with you. Do some deep self reflection and find what actually repulsed her.

You don't need that kind of negativity in your life

Dude, if she was petty enough to break up with you by comparing your accomplishments against hers, it's a good thing it happened so soon. Break up sucks but you probably dodged a massive bullet.

I thought every girl was looking for a better pianist
