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.

Probably time to move on and find someone worth your time

Maybe he just has a very dry sense of humour...

It sounds to me like you're dealing with a passive-agressive (I married one). He is who he is and you have to decide if you can live with it. I wish I had a better answer for you, sorry. But I can tell you, it's not going to change unless he decides he wants to change it. Sorry OP.

He's a savage

Kinda sounds like something my fiance would do. At that point I would call and talk with him. You never know if he was busy at work or something. If he refuses to talk about your feelings face to face or over the phone then dump him!

If you cut the guy some slack, that WAS 2 syllables...

Sometimes dudes just don't want to go into a novel battle. If you poured your heart out to him, don't you want him to acknowledge but also take a moment to seriously consider his response before slamming back with paragraphs of emotionally-driven textspeak? Maybe he's giving up on even trying. I see women do this all the time, my female friends destroying relationships because instead of trying to consider how the men they are so eager to have in their lives may be able and desiring to communicate, they expect the men to constantly fit a mold that is almost always designed with a female emotional mind. Sometimes people need space to work out their own stuff and texting a dude every day insisting his attention and that he put your needs over his own, without ever taking the time to consider his needs over yours, will leave you constantly disappointed and alone.

100% agree with you 116. I'm very uncomplicated…I talk to my girlfriend at least once or twice a week (we live about a half hour or so away from each other, story for a diff time). And almost every time she asks me how I'm doing or if anything is new my answers are almost always "I'm good. Nothing new" I grew up with 3 sisters in my family, so I learned fairly quickly how emotions are a major thing in conversations and interactions. Best advice is to give him some space, let him be himself as well as the man you want him to be…need to find that happy medium

Honestly My ex did this and it ruined our relationship. All she replied was 1 word answers and it made me feel down so I get how you feel. Even if I try to text her nowadays she still does it so I don't bother anymore. Side note: I brought this up with her numerous times and it never changed.

If you've a problem with him, doing it face to face is best. Who does that through text?
