Woman dumps boyfriend after he humiliates her on birthday with backhanded compliment

Can you tell me something you love about your partner? It is a question that should be simple to answer, and answer well, if you are in a committed relationship. So you can imagine how mortified one woman must have felt when her boyfriend of three years struggled to answer the same question.

Posed to him as part of a game at her birthday party, the query came after all of her close friends gushed about the many reasons they were thankful to have the birthday girl in their lives. But when they turned to her beloved, he faltered. Admittedly, he did come up with an answer, after about 10 minutes of thinking, but perhaps he should have stayed silent, given he delivered a backhanded compliment.
