Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Smash the patriarchy!
Today, I was wrestling with my boyfriend, trying to prove to him that I was stronger. I did. He started crying. He then broke up with me because he couldn't be in a relationship in which his girlfriend was stronger than him. FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me to beat him up so he could look tough around his friends. When I just stared at him, he added, "Please don't break anything though. Nothing too serious." FML

Today, my boyfriend tried to rid me of my hiccups. As he'd screamed at me and I'd pissed my pants, I just burst into tears. FML

Toxic masculinity = No housework
Today, my boyfriend got upset after I politely asked him to do the laundry. He takes every chance he gets to act macho and brag to people about how he's in the Marines, but apparently he is too much of a pussy to act like a man and clean his own clothes. FML

Thanks Sweaty
Today, I was feeling really down and my boyfriend refused to be there for me. It’s funny because a couple of months ago he was going through the same thing and I did everything I could to comfort him. FML

Say it ain't so, please
Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML

Today, my boyfriend said we needed to talk. He called me cruel, cold and heartless and that it’s making him reconsider what kind of future we may have together. All because I hate sappy movies and don’t cry on the scenes where the dogs die. FML

Oh noes! You're seeing someone who doesn't fit ridiculously narrowly-defined stereotypes about what it means to be male! Poor you!

Guaranteed if this were the other way around and you were upset, and your boyfriend told you to act tougher, you'd get more upset and instead of having this point of view of "wow, I'm crying, how lame", you'd be pissed that he said that. Two way street.

The ''always walking on eggshells'' thing is when you are with someone with very low self-esteem and distorted perception of events, interpreting stuff in the worse way possible because deep inside they think they deserve that crap they almost made out of thin air. It can become a serious problem which requires help. Worst thing to do is to show anger about it ; that's just fueling the problem like poking a wound instead of putting a bandage.

tell him if you wanted a girl you'd date a girl... that's just ridiculous right there.
