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

Thanksgiving
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

I'm sorry about your dad, and I'm also sorry that your boyfriend said a hurtful thing. I don't know the history of your relationship with him, so I'm not going to tell you to dump him. But, I will ask if you explained to him how that hurt you, and how you would like it if he was more supporting. I hope things get better for you :-)

I meant #44, not #43. Maybe it's because I'm a guy or maybe even because I'm an atheist (I was Christian at the time of my father's death)..but I like to keep things to myself, regardless of what it is. If someone just told me that a friend of mine or a family member died today, of course I'd be angry and sad at the same time..but I'm not the kind of prick that goes around telling everyone that didn't even know my friend/family member that they just died for some pity. On top of that, by telling a friend that someone that they've never even met before has died is likely to make them feel extremely uncomfortable, which makes you a prick.

Wow, that really sucks... I'm so sorry :/ I lost my dad almost 2 years ago, unexpectedly. I know that it will be hard for the rest of my life... Maybe not every day, because it does get easier, but it still hurts to think about losing them. The OP has every right to cry about it, not just on the anniversary, but any day at all (of course, the anniversary is most understandable for people). If your boyfriend is insensitive enough to tell you that, the relationship isn't going to amount to much. :/

What the hell is with all the people telling her that crying is wrong? and she needs to grow up? Excuse me, but everyone is different. If you lost a parent and got over it in two years, congratulations. For others it may take longer and there is nothing wrong with that at all. I think it's a good thing that the OP is comfortable with expressing how she's feeling/what's going on. Please people. Have a heart, or at least try to.

seriously, thank you 145. five years, even for a parent, is a little much. i knew a girl in highschool who lost her mum when she was eight. it was senior year in highschool, and she still whined about it. and, yes, burst into tears during the 'anniversary' of her mother's death, and wanted people to feel sorry for her. my mother lost her mother about four years ago, and yes, she still misses her, but she doesn't cry and whine for sympathy anymore. i HAVE lost someone i love, but after a few years, it's enough.

sounds like he wasn't listening. He was only paying attention to the fact that you were talking.
