Today, my 12 year-old dog died. My boyfriend's attempts to comfort me involved him muttering, "At least she knows how to play dead now." FML

Teach your boyfriend how to roll over by hitting him in the balls lol. That was insensitive of him though.

I'm sorry about your dog :( your boyfriend most likely is just really awkward with comforting people and was trying to make you feel better about it, but if he was seriously being a douche then you should rethink your relationship. Even though it's a dog, dogs feel like family to a lot of people and it's an insensitive thing to joke about.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My dog just passed away too. It's terrible losing your best friend:'(

I'm sorry for your loss. My dog passed away a few months ago. I have to say this did make me laugh, and maybe when you've had chance to grieve and focus on the good memories it will make you smile too.

I can't comfort either. Don't bash on the guy. Sorry about your dog op...but some people aren't good at that

Guess "doggy" style is not on the agenda in the near future.

i'm sure your boyfriend was just trying to be helpful, or maybe make a joke to try to lighten the situation. but either way, it would sound like an extremely insensitive comment at the time so i understand why you'd be upset over it. i'm so sorry about your dog, the loss of a pet is something that's never easy to cope with.

Awwh, that's horrible! I'd be mad at my boyfriend if he did that to me

Come on, aside from the bereavement that was pretty funny.
