Today, I admitted my fear of small spaces to my boyfriend. His response was to immediately lock me in the hall closet. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend snuck into my house and hid in my closet. Knowing that I have a phobia of people jumping out of closets, he nonetheless thought it would be funny to see how I'd react. I had a panic attack and was taken to the hospital. FML
Today, I finally told my boyfriend that I see a therapist every week because, amongst other things, I'm terrified of being locked in a room. He didn't believe me, so he locked me in the bathroom "for a laugh." I had a panic attack and passed out. FML
Today, I had to hide in the closet all morning because my 22-year-old boyfriend didn't want to admit to his parents that he had his girlfriend stay the night. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I snuck into the bathroom together at his house for a quickie. Just as we unzipped our pants, his step-dad knocked on the door. Panicking, I jumped into the closet to hide. When his step-dad came in, he went to put some towels away. In the closet. FML
Today, I felt comfortable enough to invite the guy I’ve been seeing over to my apartment for the first time. Things immediately got weird when he started to inspect my place top to bottom to make sure it was “clean to his standards”. I told him to leave when he started going in my closet. FML
Today, my boyfriend starting going off on me, calling me a psycho, all because I opened our bedroom door while he was in there. FML
Today, my boyfriend shared with me his anxiety about death, so I shared with him one of my ridiculously irrational fears. He thought I was making fun of him and now won't talk to me. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend why he never seems to have his own opinion, always agrees with me, and does whatever I want. That’s when he admitted he’s scared of me and is terrified of saying or doing anything I won’t like. I have no idea what I did to scare him this badly. FML
Today, I was squeezed through an overly-crowded hallway down to my psychologist's. There, I sat in an overly-crowded waiting room to see him, next to an obese woman and an insane man. I finally entered the smaller-than-a-closet room. My reason for seeing a psychologist? Claustrophobia. FML
Today, my boyfriend convinced me to face my fear of horror movies by promising to hold my hand through the entire flick. He fell asleep 10 minutes into it, farting and snoring in his sleep, whilst I was paralysed by fear. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'll be honest, I'd take it as a joke. If he does crap like that all the time then maybe he should reconsider. But I see no reason to be pissed if he stuck her in a closet for a short time.

After reading this did anybody else think of the Southpark where Tom Cruise wouldn't come out of the closet?

I'm still trying to decide if this is something I'd do to someone or just think about doing. Hopefully he let you out quickly.

You should have fake fainted then socked him in the nuts when he opened the door.

He's just trying to help you overcome your fear

NO! Confronting your Claustrophobia head-on like what OP's boyfriend did is A BAD IDEA! Logic: I mean really, how do you help get someone over their Thanatophobia? Killing them?

I've only read about it, so it's not like I have any experience, but isn't it reasonable to directly confront your fears? In a sensible way, of course, and because you've decided to yourself rather than because your boyfriend shoved you in a closet, but still.

That's like throwing a non-swimmer in the deep end.

I know a lot of people who would do that. Maybe he's trying to make you face your fears? In what context did he lock you up?
