Today, it's the five year anniversary of my father's death. I was cuddling with my boyfriend and crying about how much I missed him. He replied with, "Sometimes, I think you just like to hear yourself talk." FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I called my boyfriend to have a shoulder to cry on because my grandpa died. As soon as I told him, he started crying and telling me how much he missed his grandmother, who died six years ago. I spent the majority of the phone call listening to him wail. FML
Today, my partner and I were cuddling on the couch, watching TV when she smiled and murmured, "You smell like my dad." FML
Today, I was crying because my cat died. My boyfriend cupped my face in his hands, looked me straight into the eyes and said, "I love seeing you cry." FML
Today, my mother and I were discussing how we couldn't believe it's been nearly a year since my dad died. Not paying attention, my husband absentmindedly added, "Time flies when you're having fun." FML
Today, I saw my dad for the first time in almost five years, at his funeral. FML
Today, I got back home from work and casually asked my dad, "What's up?" He casually replied, "Wishing I'd had a son instead." and stared glassy-eyed at me until I left the room. FML
Today, I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone. After a short pause I hear him say "I love you." Smiling I say, "I love you too." Then he says, "I was talking to my dog." FML
Today, my boyfriend laid his head on my bare chest and said, "You're like my mother." FML
Today, I was texting a friend of mine. She mentioned it was her dad's birthday. I typed, "Tell him 'Happy Birthday' from me!" and as I pressed send, I remembered her dad was dead. FML
Today, my boyfriend brought up the time he said he'd love me until the day he died. He continued by saying, "So, let's just pretend I died today." FML

that LITERALLY happened to me too like 3 years ago - I was upset and talking about how much i missed my father, who had passed 7 years earlier, and he goes "ya know, sometimes i think you just talk to hear yourself talk" - I got out before it was too late ;-)

The people telling the OP to get over it are ******* retarded. You never fully "get over" the death of a parent. She didn't say she spends every day grieving and relying on others for support, she said ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH she cried because she MISSED HER FATHER. jesus christ.

Get out of there now. Seriously, why waste your time? This asshole just made it clear that he couldn't possibly care less about you. I'm sorry about your father, too. I agree - anniversary days are hard! I hope otherwise, you're able to remember the good times. Hang in there.

#21 has obviously never lost a parent. Had the OP been crying on any average day to the lose of their dad then i can understand that comment, but on the day of their death, it can be a very tough thing. You have no idea what they are going through and you have no right to tell them to "get over it" just because it is 5 years later. Tomorrow will the 9th year since my father has passed and I will probably be in tears as well.

I have to agree with #21 and #43. I lost my father six years ago when I was only 12 years old and I've definitely gotten over it. Obviously losing a parent or anyone for that matter is tough but still crying about them even though it's been so many years is just plain pathetic. The first few years (1-2, for me) was and always will be the hardest, of course, but if you're still bawling and essentially asking people to give you pity and feel sorry for you when it's been half a decade later makes me want to punch you in the face. If you do cry, keep it to yourself. Obviously if you just lost your father a few weeks, months or even just a year ago, then your boyfriend is a ass hole. But since it's been 5 years, YDI.
