Love: Pay attention!

Pay attention!

Today, my boyfriend and I were arguing about how he was too busy for me. During that conversation, he was texting his best friend and then called by his brother to drive him home. Instead of returning to finish our conversation, he left to prepare for his fishing trip with his mates tomorrow. FML

Same thing different taste

Where are you?

Today, my boyfriend convinced me to take him 30 minutes away to meet his friends so he could go fishing, adding that they wouldn't be gone all night. I dropped him off 13 hours ago, and he doesn't have a phone. FML

Red flags all over the place

Today, I got a phone call from my boyfriend, who screamed at me for being a f-ing liar and never taking time for him. He'd called my work and knew I wasn't there as I said I'd be. He was right - I was lying. I'd been driving for the past 10 hours to his family's beach house to surprise him. FML

Today, my boyfriend came over and dropped off my phone, which I'd left at his place the night before. He immediately left in a sulk. As I looked through my texts, I discovered he was only so moody because I hadn't answered any of his calls or messages. I'm dating an idiot. FML

Today, my boyfriend made me feel like shit because I didn’t feel like going fishing, and compared me to his "fake" friends, even though every day for the past two months, I’ve gone every time he’s asked. But anytime I suggest we do something different, he shuts it down. FML

Today, my boyfriend called me as I was getting ready for bed and asked me to pick him up from the bar. Being a loving girlfriend I drive the 45 minutes; when I get there his friend informs me he left about 45 minutes ago. FML

Today, my boyfriend didn't come home from a night of drinking with the boys again, so I told him that I was packing my things and I wouldn't be here when he came home. After all my things were packed, I realized he drove my car to the bar. FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me to text him when I got home after driving 40 miles in bad weather from his house back to mine. When I did, he broke up with me. FML

Today, I called my boyfriend to see if he wanted to come over to my house. He said he couldn't because he was out of town. That would have be perfectly acceptable, if I hadn't called him on his house phone. FML

You need to make him choose. A relationship takes two. If he isn't willing to put in time for you then you need to find someone else.

I would break up with him. if he can't focus when you're talking to him about something that's important to you he doesn't seem worth it.

You can change him. He's just never had a girl who can make him realize how all-encompassing true love really is. Encourage him to tell you how he feels several times a day. And BTW, he totally wants you to come on the trip, so you should probably show up as a surprise. He'll love it.

"You can change him." ^This is probably the most disturbing comment I have read in all the time I've been reading FML. Wow. You remind me of the married sister in the movie Knocked Up when she talks about Oprah saying that people can be trained - you have to constantly put them down til they feel so low that they have to make a change. Loving someone is loving them warts and all, not choosing to keep certain qualities and "working" on the rest. He's not her child. She's not responsible for shaping his character/behaviour. If things go well in the relationship, there will be a natural "change" as he chooses to make her more central in his life and take her into consideration on a more regular basis with the decisions he makes. His ultimate core person, however, will not change. Because people do not change. Not really. If she has a serious issue with something that is fundametally him, then that issue will always be there. She should move on if that's the case.
