Today, I told my boyfriend I was afraid he would no longer love me when he returned from basic training. Hoping he would reassure me his feelings wouldn't change and we'd still be together, he replied instead, "Shit happens." FML

I can understand why she'd be devastated. But, honestly, that's a ridiculous question to ask. If you honestly have to ask that type of question, be prepared for heartbreak, because you're not going to last. Have some trust in your relationship and support his decision. Don't make his leaving for basic training about you. Asking a question like that shows him that all you care about is whether or not he'll still care for you. It's not about you. It's about him. Stop being so selfish.

Sounds like a typical female to say something she doesn't mean to get a man to say something he doesn't mean..... YDI

You sound like a typical, nice girl and he sounds like a typical, rude, annoying man. My answer to that: Dude, do you even care about me?! If he'd say no, I'd grab something that hurts and Id hit him and send him outta the house

"typical, nice girl" "typical, rude, annoying man." and you sound like a sexist.

Actually that's about right, most people are exactly as their gender stereotypes portray, they are only a few exceptions.

Pretty sure a lot of girls feel this way. Who knows how long they have been dating? She was just looking for a little reassurance and kudos to her for being brave enough to express how she's feeling. He sounds like a typical army douche bag. She could do so much better. FYL indeed for dating an insensitive jackass.

I'm not so sure about this. Personally, if I happened to be this guy, I'd be a bit hurt (and probably irritated) by a girlfriend saying something like that. It seems like an insult almost, like she's underestimating whatever bond they have. This probably wasn't OP's intent, but when you think about it, that message sort of makes itself clear. The boyfriend definitely could have been a bit nicer here, but he was probably a bit upset by what she said and responded accordingly.

exactly how many people do you know in the army? clearing enough to call them all douche bags right?

I have no idea what to say apart from the fact that I want to tell you that I have no idea about the commends represented for me and also about how I can say that I can say that and a whole bunch of other stuff talking about how all of this fits together.

Well, I think you know now. But, you knew ahead of time that if you told him that, he might tell you something you don't want to hear. You set yourself up for hurt. I'm tempted to say YDI, but... I won't.

MermaidSongX0X0... I love how you act like you'd act any differently in that situation. Just because you might think that someone MIGHT say something hurtful, it's not a guarantee, and it shouldn't stop you from saying anything at all. It's nice that she said it, too bad he's an asshole!

You make a valid point, but the OP shouldn't post on FML if she knew that was a possibility.

The guy is going to risk his life to protect you and your country and all you can worry about is some made up problem? I hope he finds someone lower maintenance.

I_am_stupid_also, yes, yes, you really are stupid. Just because he's joining the army doesn't give him an excuse to be a dick to his girlfriend. He so clearly doesn't deserve her, and I hope she finds someone better while he's away. Then when he comes back she can tell him, "Shit happens."

you really have no way of knowing if he deserves her or not. she could be a completely manipulative bitch, or not, you can't know it though. so don't assume he doesn't deserve her.

Probably he learned to plan for the worst in preparation for basic--you could die while he's there, for all you know.

Or he could.

... not too many people die in basic. unless he kills himself or he is very stupid. basic training is normally a very safe place
