Today, I got in a fight with my boyfriend. I sent him a long message pouring my heart out about how hurt I am that he constantly ignores me or responds to almost everything I say in monosyllables. He texted back "ok". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I confronted my boyfriend after he received a text with a bunch of hearts on it. After arguing, turns out it was from me. FML
Today, I sent my boyfriend a long and heartfelt message. He responded with "tl; dr". FML
Today, my boyfriend and I got into a fight. We yelled for 20 minutes and then he put his hands on my neck. Once we'd calmed down, he explained he wanted to strangle me like Homer does Bart, but didn't follow through. This all started when I asked if he read a text I sent earlier in the day. FML
Today, my boyfriend refuses to talk to me because of a misread text. FML
Today, I had a massive argument with my boyfriend, in which he called me stupid repeatedly. I stomped out of his house and sent a very angry text to my best friend about him. She didn't text back. Then my boyfriend texted, "My girlfriend is so stupid, she can't even text the right number." FML
Today, after my boyfriend ignored me for hours playing video games, he gave me some attention for a little bit. When I tried to run my fingers through his hair, I missed and punched him in the face. FML
Today, after a hard day's work and emotional argument with my best friend, I sent my boyfriend a text telling him how much I loved him and cherished him in the hopes he would cheer me up with a romantic reply. He said "Sorry, I've only got 8 texts left." 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, I sent my boyfriend a sweet text message, since he recently complained that I'm rarely romantic. Instead of being happy, he decided that since it's so out of character for me, I must be cheating on him and must have only sent it out of guilt. FML
Today, I tried to tell my boyfriend how I have been feeling recently in our relationship. He lashed out at me, saying I was just accusing him of being the bad guy. I guess I'll never express my feelings ever again. FML

Maybe it's a good idea to talk face to face about how you feel

Stop texting him, and confront him, cause you deserve better.

Could have been worse! He put in the effort to type the "o" in "ok" that means something, right?

This is exactly what my ex is like! Absolutely frustrating! I just started doing it back to him and he changed his tune real quick

So... Was like? Because if he changed his tune he's not like that anymore, right?

Do you feel intelligent? Chill it was a spelling mistake

I'm more confused over if he's your ex or not... did this really work? or was the "change in tune" him leaving? *so confused*

Yeah pretty much what you said 84, but id rather not have a boyfriend who doesn't care so it worked out in the end for me haha

Is he actually disinterested or is he just a quiet person? When I'm with other people, I can go all day without saying a word unless someone asks me a direct question. I mean, maybe he's an asshole. I don't know because I don't know him, but I've gone through life with people asking me "what's wrong?" when nothing is actually wrong. They just don't understand why I am so quiet.

It's annoying when people respond with monosyllabic messages. I'm sorry OP, I hope you feel better and able to make the right decision for you

As much as that sucks, that's not a conversation to have over text messages. If you want something to come out of that conversation you have to have it in person.

For some people it is really hard to be confrontational. Whenever my husband and I have a really big fight, and have a lot to say, we will write each other an email to say everything we need to say, and then we will talk about it afterwards. It just gets things moving along faster and resolved faster. So I do think they need to talk about it face to face, but I think the initial text was fine.

With my ex I could only have conversations like this with him over text. He would ignore my calls and we lived in different states. And he was like OPs boyfriend - he either wouldn't reply or would say "ok" or "word". He was actually emotionally abusive he would purposely do things to upset me then ignore me when I was upset or having and anxiety attack and crying. OP, sometimes people (in my case especially men) need space when they're upset. He might have just replied that because he didn't want to go off on you. Or he's just a dick and doesn't care, in which case I would say you deserve better.

It's actually better for me to write something rather than speak it. Not just because I have an extremely hard time with confrontation, it gives me a chance to think over what I want to say and how to say it. In person, it just comes out and it could be saying different than how I want or even have trouble saying it. It also gives me more time to make sure I don't lash out and say something to hurt them.

At least 'ok' is two syllables!

Well, what would you rather he say, OP? "Jeez, I never realized I was doing that. I'm sorry if my terse responses hurt you, and I'll try to be better in the future. The time we spend together is magical for me, and I want nothing more than to be able to give you that feeling back." Pfft! Actually…
