Today, I texted my brother saying "Always remember I love you! Never forget it!" to which he answered: "You better not be doing drugs." FML
I agree, your life sucks (14512) - you totally deserved it (5583)

He probably wouldn't have replied like that unless you don't tell him you love him very often. YDI for not reminding your family you love them.

I agree, my brother sent me a text just a couple days ago at like 3 am saying "I love you little guy." I was convinced he was either drunk out of his mind or was going to do something drastic D:

:( That sucks. My brothers always insult me, or make fun of me so I'm convinced they don't love me. Families these days need to remind each other they love them daily atleast. I know a guy and his dad's only told him he loves him twice; once was via text. It's a sad world we live in.

Aw. Emily.. at your age that is normal. Just wait: in a few years your brothers and you will have a drink together a start blubbering to each other about how much you all love each other. It's just how it works. While you are kids/teens you are obliged to make each other miserable :]
AHAHAH When I get high, or drunk I text everyone I now and blabber about how I love them soo much LOL.
This isn't an FML you have a smart brother :)

If my sister sent a text like that I'd wonder too. Now tell us the truth, were you using drugs?
#4 - On 10/22/2009 at 3:34am by israelnotjacob
You decided to show how much you love your family through a completely impersonal text message instead of telling it to his face, or calling him to tell him? The amount of love radiating from that hit me like a drunk driver.
YDI. Fuck texting.

You should only send that in certain cases. My sister is in Iraq, so if she sent me that I wouldn't mind, but on a normal day.. I don't know.
I can see why he would text that back to you. If my sister randomly texted me that I would think one of two things: she's high as a kite or she's about to off herself.
You don't just randomly text someone like that. You have to warm up to it like have had a really great night out with the person...something that would make you reflect upon how much you care for a sibling, etc.

Do you usually send your brother texts like that? xD If one of my siblings sent me that text, I would have asked them the same thing... Haha.

Well, if I sent my brother a random text message of that ilk I think he'd say that too. YDI for acting like a desperate girlfriend.

Why is everyone acting like that's such a weird thing to do and saying you have to lead up to it? Some people just want to be nice and remind their friends and family that they are loved... I send stuff like fairly often, always to a different person, and I never get responses like this.

I send those txts too but i also give hug attacks to me peeps; it's not uncommon to say 'i love you'
p.s. and I'm only high part of the time :D
If someone told me something like this I'd think they were on something too. If he responded like that then you must be kind of a bitch or something otherwise he would've just said okay love you too! or something. So I'm thinking it's your fault for not acting like this more. Don't be so surprised.
That doesn't sound like something somebody high would say, it sounds like something somebody about to jump off of something high would say.

YDI for being stupid. No sibling wants to hear this from another sibling.
#18 - On 10/22/2009 at 6:44am by Torise
lmfao your brother is funny, that something my brother would do even if i did remind him all the time that i loved him
#19 - On 10/22/2009 at 7:40am by holdingmybreathe
That's not that bad, child. My brother has asked me the same thing when I get the occasional impulse to call or text to tell him I love him(we're literally an ocean and half a continent apart). Except that question was also accompanied by, "If you are doing drugs, I will book the next flight to Hawai'i and break your legs and teeth. Oh. Love you, too, girl." It's so sweet of him.

*hits the so what button*
He's your sibling, they're like that. Don't take it so personally, there's no point.
That's the kind of message one would expect to receive from someone who's drunk or about to kill themselves. The only exception is if the sender usually sends that kind of message.
#24 - On 10/22/2009 at 8:33am by cthulhu1138
I did the same thing to my GF and scared the shit out of her if you have never done that before it is weird so YDI
#28 - On 10/22/2009 at 9:13am by bullshitdetector
that's a strange message to send. I find it very hard to say "I love you" to anyone even in writing! hell, I've never told any of my parents I love you, and I'm 18. and I get uncomfortable when my dad tells me I love you. the only time I said I love you to anyone was my big brother when he left for the military. other than that, if I say I love you to someone freely, I'm probabaly high on alcohol...
I do the same thing to my bro and he does the same with me. Its a brother thing grow a pair and deal with it. Hell my brother implies are calls me gay on atleast a weekly basis and you don't see me whining and running to fmylife about it..... wait.... I just did..... fuck!
#31 - On 10/22/2009 at 9:58am by theblazian
yeah unless you do this all the time that would be a common reaction. I am not saying don't do it but don't think your life is fucked because YOU don't tell your family you love them often.
AND my little brother will not say he loves me, not even when I try to bribe him. he only does it if my parents make him.

Happened to me once. Good thing I don't puke anymore!

WHOOPS!
Wrong FML.
This is what I get for being a chronic tabber.
Meant to say: That's awesome
#38 - On 10/22/2009 at 5:26pm by DameGreyWulf
How is this a FML? You have a brother who cares, idiot. Why would you complain about something like that?
I would have been as creeped out as your brother probably was. He might have thought you were suicidal or something. Try thinking about context, and having one, in the future.
i know how this is. i dont text my brother that b/c ill get a response like that!
#45 - On 10/24/2009 at 8:58pm by wonduhhbrayeddd
Why is this an FML?
He obviously just isn't used to you saying that type of stuff to him, so he thinks you must be on drugs to be saying it... or else he just has a sense of humour. Either way, not an FML.
how is this an fml, and seriously, ydi, wat sister says that to their brother?
