Today, I was talking with my friend-turned boyfriend and cutely told him that I could no longer remember all the things that he used to do that bothered me. He told me he could remember every one of mine and listed them all off for me. FML
I agree, your life sucks (11080) - you totally deserved it (24114)

So the fuck what?! YDI, guess you don't appreciate honesty.

Agree w/12.
FYL for having an honest boyfriend. Yep. FYL for sure.

meh so what, i tease my girlfriend about all the things she used to do to me before we were together all the time, just for fun too, totally not a FML or YDI, just a caring bf teasing you
Exactly! She was totally baiting him trying to get compliments and it backfired. Plus why would you tell someone that they used to annoy you? OP was asking for it IMO.
Was lying one of his things that bothered him? Because I'm pretty sure you walked right into it, and who honestly believes that?

And you were expecting what exactly?
Appreciating honesty and self-improvement never hurt anybody.
#7 - On 08/11/2009 at 6:11am by BenignScientists
Urgh, why are there so many girls saying that they told their bf's something 'cutely'?
#8 - On 08/11/2009 at 6:11am by maybe_tomorrow
Agreed, stop trying to be cute, you either are or you arent. These kind of fml's really are annoying, 90% of the crap on this site is girls thinking they're cute and having it backfire or they're trying to impress someone and guess what, it backfires.

If you hadn't been fishing for compliments this wouldn't have happened....
#10 - On 08/11/2009 at 6:17am by catatonicsleep
How does she deserve this? She was just trying to be nice. Honesty is often overrated, and if we knew everything our partners think of us, we'd be gravely disappointed, as well as they'd be if they knew everything we think about them. So this guy is not honest- he's just arrogant enough to humiliate his girlfriend. Idiotic, if you ask me.
#13 - On 08/11/2009 at 6:23am by clarksdale
lol honesty is overrated
fail
your dad has a bastard child and is spending half his money on another family
oh but i cant lol at the situation, honesty is overrated
convincing troll is too convincing

As far as trolls go, with a name like "senior_dingdong" I don't believe you have much room to speak.

Lying to say that you don't mind the things that bother you often leads to deeper, more serious problems later on.
#40 - On 08/11/2009 at 9:32am by BenignScientists
Agreed with 40.
It was a nice sentiment, OP, but seriously, don't bs your lover. You'll just have more problems, and it'll most likely hurt their feelings when you get into an argument and say things like "WELL I HAVE ALWAYS HATED YOUR FUCKING MOLE" because they thought you had no problem with it, maybe even liked it.
(Granted, that's a rather simple example, just replace it with something that would be truly bothering and you'll see what I mean better; I, at the moment, can't think well)
On the bright side, now you know about the things that bother him and can maybe fix them.
#56 - On 08/11/2009 at 12:35pm by DameGreyWulf
well nobody did ask you did they?
im sorry if you need people to lie to you to feel happy. some of us arent that pathetic. and at what point did anyone mention having to say every single thing you think about your partner? she made the statement out of nowhere, it wasnt asked for (just like your crap). if shes telling the truth, then shit, shes got issues.
#76 - On 08/12/2009 at 3:45am by organisedchaos
Oh boo hoo. If you do things that bother people, expect them to be bothered. Don't expect compliments just because you bullshit around. This was a lose-lose situation for him. He could either be honest, and you would complain, or he could lie, and you would probably still complain.
#14 - On 08/11/2009 at 6:24am by Tubasaurus
And yet he is still your boyfriend?? Well he must love you then. Accept the fact that he is blatantly aware of your annoyances (and some of them could be very obvious and hard to ignore) and still willing to look past them and be your boyfriend.
fmylife is not your goddamn live journal. do not whine about every little thing someone tells you that's the slightest bit negative.
This is bullspit. I am sorry, but how does this get in, but my maggot infested mouse in my bed doesn't get in? Are you serious!!!
I think we need a counter for all of the whiny over-sensitive girlfriend anecdotes that get posted on this site.
#34 - On 08/11/2009 at 9:06am by Tubasaurus
YDI for lying...love's not about forgetting the things that bother you, it's about realizing they're worth overlooking.
my husband is like that. I had an issue I wanted speak with him about( I don't evenremember what it was). he had a list - which he rattled off. I was gobsmacked and walked away. of course you sort of asked for it. not realizing that you're a romantic and he's not he felt like you had just opened a door for him. open an actual door and get rid of him. he's wasting your time.
So basically what you're saying is you're a self-centered, egotistical, narcissistic bitch who thinks of herself as perfect, and will leave her husband if he disagrees?
And you want others to be more like you?
...Ya, 'cuz that's what we need more of in the world.
And as for your idea of keeping track of both, I think it would be a good idea.
Keep track of the ratio.
Might be interesting to see which is the whinier sex.
And finally, someone put a lot of work into the reply function.
Learn to use it.
oh and tubasauraus: if you're going to do that, then be fair and keep a list of their whiney male counterparts.
People are so god damn stupid. OP you set yourself up for that one.
#41 - On 08/11/2009 at 9:33am by xavierdevoy
Yet another whiny girlfriend trying to get pity for something she clearly set herself up for. Eh. Fail.
#42 - On 08/11/2009 at 9:38am by IGoRawrrx3
Honey, if you don't want to know, don't open the door and don't ask. Guys are literal. You ask, you get told. It doesn't always mean it's a bad thing.
#43 - On 08/11/2009 at 9:44am by flinkpamingo
ydi. did you expect him to say your perfect? your not.
if i was you i'd be like 'oh yeah! i remember that! good times *laughs/chuckles*'
#47 - On 08/11/2009 at 10:15am by lovesanaix413
I could be wrong, but I'm thinking there was probably more to the conversation, such as you asking your boyfriend what kind of annoying habits you have and pressuring him to answer.
Either way, I agree with #18.
#48 - On 08/11/2009 at 10:15am by vaguereference
If you ever need to use the adverb "cutely" to describe something, it wasn't that cute.
#52 - On 08/11/2009 at 11:26am by MobMentality
netfreak...why not? my then-best friend turned boyfriend (turned ex) was annoying as hell until we got close :P I freakin hated his guts lmfao and then we got close and it changed to a relationship so why is guys getting out of the 'friend zone' hard to believe? happens all the time...
#53 - On 08/11/2009 at 11:40am by bubblybrooke
YDI for trying to do something "cutely." It obviously wasn't, and you really should grow a thicker skin and quit whining and fishing for compliments.
#54 - On 08/11/2009 at 12:04pm by deaditegirl
YDI for being a liar...sounds like he wants to base your relationship on honesty...
#57 - On 08/11/2009 at 12:40pm by _THE_MASTER_
I think its nice that you can date knowing and acknowledging each other's flaws, it means it will probably last.
I remember this being done before recently. therefor ydi for non origional material

omg, stop whining.
atleast you have a boyfriend.
who obviously loves you, if he's still with you after all those annoyances.
#63 - On 08/11/2009 at 4:51pm by gross__
If you don't love somebody with their weaknesses, then you don't really love them.
You're a dumb bitch for thinking that this is a bad thing.
#64 - On 08/11/2009 at 4:53pm by TotallyAwesome
Every time I read an FML where someone describes themselves or what they were doing as being cute, sexy, pretty, or seductive, I give it a YDI.
#66 - On 08/11/2009 at 5:25pm by ichwillkeinengel
There's nothing wrong with him thinking you have flaws, but he didn't need to rattle off a list like he was proud of it.
This is like the Fml where the husband listed off everything that bothered him about his spouse in that test, and the wife listed nothing because he is perfect. Stop fishing for compliments! YDI
#68 - On 08/11/2009 at 5:32pm by EvilArcherDude
YDI for expecting a cutesy answer in return from someone with a penis.
#69 - On 08/11/2009 at 6:53pm by arsewipe92
why the fuck would you say that in the first place? that isn't cute at all, i would be offended.
#72 - On 08/11/2009 at 9:53pm by in_wonderland
DUDE that is totally FUCkED UP! shit man i would have said "ummm uuuuhhhh i dont think so you noe what no no no we r fucking DoooooooooooooonE"
YDI for being a dumb cockwaffe fuckrabbit annoying flaw girlfriend :P!
#75 - On 08/12/2009 at 12:59am by ShetHappensxx
no one likes that kind of cute these days, your just gonna make people hate you, like how everyone hates my ex, because she fucking acts cute! stop it!
#78 - On 08/12/2009 at 9:12pm by phlipphoneguy
Wow, girl, these people are sharks! I agree with #13! It WAS a cutsey thing to say. I am sure you still remember some of that stuff that bugged you before, just like he shouldn't have taken it as an invite to crucify you! That was not the point! Couples and even friends and family talk like that all the time. Even if he didn't compliment you back, he could have at least said thanks... He's a jerk and so are all the people attacking you.
you "cutely" told him? surely he would be the judge of that
besides, thats not cute
