Weirdo likes to imagine that they have a relationship with the person who originally posted the screenshot with the messages. They’re asking the real person to engage in their fantasy by breaking up with another (probably) real person because weirdo’s chatbot of them said they would.
F/O in this case is fictional other, a play on S/O for significant other. Yumeship is a dumb word for jerking/schlicking fantasy stuff.

Addendum: “yume” is Japanese for “dream”. They dream of being in a (relation)ship with the other person. We used to call that “self-ship”, I’m pretty sure (“I ship myself with xyz”) but maybe the difference is that this is not about a character but a real person? Which would make it real person shipping which I think most people agree is a dubious pastime. Did I just argue myself into saying having a crush is problematic? I need sleep.
