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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

why are a lot of the people who are saying "get over it" assuming she was making a big deal about it and expecting sympathy from everyone and crying all over the place? it says she was with her bf, just him, so why shouldn't she be able to cry on the shoulder of a guy who claims to care about her? isn't that what the people who care about us are there for sometimes, to be a shoulder to cry on? she doesn't deserve it, but maybe this is the first time they've been together on this day of the year and he just didn't know what to say, or it came out wrong...

#174 Erm yeah, YOU fail to see why it should affect us that people we loved are no longer here with us. Some people actually care about people other than themselves, y'know. It's a great thing that you don't associate with people who can feel emotions - cuz you clearly can't. And anyone with half a brain wouldn't wanna associate themself with you either. Death does happen, but just because it's natural doesn't mean we should be completely unaffected by it. I mean, it's her FATHER, someone who has obviously been part of her life since Day One. Excuse her for feeling upset that she will never be able to see him or speak to him again. Why don't you go to a funeral and tell all the family members present that the death of their loved one "shouldn't matter". Wow, I've met some stupid ass people but none like you.

Who needs someone like that? You deserve better! He should know there's nothing wrong with grieving, especially over the loss of a parent. I'm sorry :(

#24 - He doesn't "view life differently." He's being a judgmental asshole.

Wow, #176, I'm glad I don't have any friends like you. I don't think I've ever met anyone THAT insensitive and judgmental.

Aww I'm sorry! To everyone saying "its been 5 years get over it" its not like she's crying every day. Sometimes it just gets really hard. My best friend lost her dad to cancer when we were 7, and another really close friend lost her cousin in a car accident. When you lose a loved one, some days are just harder than others, and when they need me I'm there for them. Sorry OP, you should find a guy that really cares about you.
