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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

Why do people always jump to the conclusions that the boyfriend's a bastard? She probably does talk too much. My boyfriend says that to me too, but whenever he does, I realize and acknowledge that it's true. I've noticed a lot of girls talk to their boyfriends as if they're talking to themselves, like an internal monologue that's voiced. Verbal diarrhea. The role of a boyfriend really isn't to listen to all the whining that you'd otherwise have to keep in. My sympathies for your dad, but ydi for treating your boyfriend as some sort of garbage disposal for all your thoughts. After 5 years, if you still feel the need to grieve, set aside some alone time to reflect, reminisce, and then collect yourself. There really shouldn't be a reason for you to clamor for attention from your boyfriend at this stage.

I love my dad five year ago, and it still hurts. I don't blame you for crying. You need a guy who will be sympathetic towards you. My boyfriend is always there to hold me through the rough days, even if it's not the anniversary of my father dying. You deserve better. And as for all the jerk-asses telling you rude comments.. ftl, they don't get it.

IF YOU KNEW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOSE A PARENT YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND NO MATTER HOW MANY ******* YEARS IT'S BEEN THE PAIN IS STILL THERE !! So go to hell you heartless piece of shit. She's in pain and all you can do is criticize it. You should just die. Honestly.

God, this site is a showcase of bad and unsympathetic boyfriends. I hope you're handling the loss and grieving well.

that's ******* unreal... get him out of your life. I can't even imagine saying that to a girl I care about.

#211, Exactly. Remembering and reflecting on someone who died years ago is perfectly good and normal. Thrusting that loss on other people, in an obvious bid at attention, is not.

My deepest sympathies. Sadly and strangely enough, my father died on the same day, also five years ago. I think I'd punch someone in the nose if they said that to me. Find someone who deserves you!

Lesson: don't talk when crying, it makes you hard to understand. Lesson: don't bother us with your feelings, we don't understand them. It also makes you look like a drama queen, even when you obviously (to yourself and other women) aren't. Lesson: if you don't like how men deal with emotions... get a girlfriend. After 5 years though, it does seem a bit attention seeking.
