Today, I asked my boyfriend to go to the airport with me, to see me off for my three-month stay abroad. He said no because the two-hour drive is "too boring". FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went with my boyfriend of 10 months to rent a car, for which he needed his dad to sign for. To avoid introducing me, he banished me to the nearest airport terminal, and picked me up 45 minutes later, around 11:30 p.m. FML
Today, I drove three and a half hours to surprise my long distance boyfriend for our anniversary. He was out of town. Where was he? Three and a half hours away trying to surprise me. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because he "couldn't handle the distance." He said he "couldn't commit to driving to see me long term." We live two hours apart, and I've driven to him every time; he never tried to come to me once. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that he was going to take a nap. When I asked him why he wanted to take a nap in the middle of the day, he said, "To make time go by faster." He's leaving in 9 days. We're going to be 3,000 miles apart. For a long time. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he needed to reconsider coming to see me for financial reasons. I'm the one paying for the airfare, giving him a place to stay, and covering his expenses while he's here. FML
Today, I called my boyfriend to tell him how excited I was to drive 12 hours to see him and his new house. His girlfriend answered. FML
Today, I asked my fiancee to drive me to the airport for a business trip in a few days. She ranted angrily that she already had plans, so I asked my mom to take me instead. Now she's pissed and saying, "Why don't you just go marry your mommy, since she does everything for you?" FML
Today, I went to the airport to pick up my long-distance boyfriend. Having waited six months for this, I was stoked. After waiting for three hours and sending numerous messages, I was eventually informed I was a week early. FML
Today, my boyfriend, who lives 100 miles away and whom I haven't seen in 2 months, told me he was visiting my city with some friends. I assumed this was an opening to an invitation, but no, he just asked me about the best places to get drunk. FML
Today, after months of planning, my boyfriend told me he's changed his mind and doesn’t want to move with me to where I got a job. Why? He doesn’t want to live that far away from his mother. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

if you're leaving for 3 months you'd think he'd want to say goodbye. if you're not a priority on his list maybe you should evaluate where you are in this relationship. is he willing to help with other important things? if not maybe you need to move on.

I'm torn on this one. I myself would drive my husband to the airport to see him off and then drive myself home, but at the same time, he wouldn't expect me to or be upset if I said no because that is a long drive by yourself on the trip home. If you needed him to drive you so you had a way to get there and not leave your car at the airport it may be different, but then you would need plans to be picked up from the airport too.

what is it with people wanting to end a relationship so quick?!? what if op's boyfriend didn't have gas money to spend driving and him saying that it's "too boring" was his way out. Have any of you guys dropped off someone at the airport and see them off? I have and that shit was long and boring! plus you have to pay for parking for the time you're waiting to see them off.

I'm kind of torn between clicking FML and YDI, because there's a good bit of info missing--for instance, how far apart they live from each other. It may not have been feasible for them to bid each other goodbye at home. On the FML side, since the girl is leaving for 3 months abroad (possibly a study abroad program for school), it makes sense that she'd want to spend as much time with him as possible before leaving (including a car ride there), and it seems selfish of the BF to refuse her just because the drive is "too boring." Sometimes you have to compromise in a relationship or do something you don't particularly like to do just because you know the other person will appreciate it. On the YDI side, it seems selfish of the girl to expect her BF to drive all that way, especially if she doesn't really need the ride up there and just wants his company at the airport. (Now, if he's her _only_ ride to the airport and he refused because of that flimsy excuse of "being bored" during the drive, then that's a definite FML)

When he wants to talk or text say it's too much work. Or when he wants sex, say he's too boring. I would make that shut bite him in the a$$

End it. Doesn't sound like he's that invested in the relationship. You my find that he finds the 3 months abroad "too boring" to stay faithful, end it and save yourself the inevitable heartache. Maybe you'll meet a better and nicer man abroad.
