Code red

By ugh - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my boyfriend of over a year told me that we need a code word for when I'm being annoying. FML

If you weren't annoying he wouldn't need a code-word to tell you about it.

Tell him you need one for when the sex isn't that good...

I like cupcake reacharound. He could say 'honey, you're totally giving me a cupcake reacharound right now.' and you could reply with 'honey, be a man and tell me what's annoying you so we can deal with it like grown-ups'. I think if someone said that to me instead of trying to deal with something, I'd say 'here's your code word - dumped'.

Most women can be annoying at times. Everyone should have a code word for "just shut up for a second, please".

Maybe you should try dating someone who doesn't find you annoying.

Me and my GF have a code word for when I'm hurting her too much. Sometimes "Stop" means "I love it, give me more". So we have a code word so I know when "stop" really means "stop".

I think that's a bit of a different scenario. Is your code word Armageddon by chance?

Well at least that means he would want to stay with her longer if she'd just be less annoying. I told my best guy friend (we're slightly more than friends) to tell me when I'm being annoying and he said that's impossible, but a while ago he stopped talking to me because I was annoying him. yeah, it doesn't make sense but we're talking again(:

Agree with snick. My husband and I don't precisely have a code, just a series of discrete looks or gestures if one of us gets annoying or rude or something when we're out. In private, we just tell each other we're annoyed. Honesty prevents arguments if you're mature.

why is he still your boyfriend you loser?!
