Today, my boyfriend complained that we may not work out because I'm "just too needy". I'd woken up early and texted him "good morning" while he was trying to sleep. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I realized my boyfriend only asks me to come spend the night when he needs me to wake him up in the morning. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I loved him. His response? "Is that why you have been so clingy and annoying lately?" FML
Today, I woke up feeling like shit after I had spent the whole night taking care of my sick boyfriend. He got up early, feeling great, bouncing around the house. When I finally got up I told him I didn't feel well and he yelled at me for being a bitch in the morning that slows him down. FML
Today, I got to wake up to a text from my boyfriend that said, "U got competition." FML
Today, my boyfriend called work because he is sick. Then he called me four times while I was working, to complain that I was working, and then he got mad when I told him I was sick and worked a double shift two days in a row, because apparently that's "insensitive" of me. FML
Today, I sent my boyfriend a sweet text message, since he recently complained that I'm rarely romantic. Instead of being happy, he decided that since it's so out of character for me, I must be cheating on him and must have only sent it out of guilt. FML
Today, I sent a text to a guy I'd met over the weekend. He'd traveled 40 miles to my town for the date, so I picked up the tab for dinner. My text simply said, "Had a nice time. Looking forward to getting together again." His reply was, "When did you get so needy?" FML
Today, my boyfriend came over and dropped off my phone, which I'd left at his place the night before. He immediately left in a sulk. As I looked through my texts, I discovered he was only so moody because I hadn't answered any of his calls or messages. I'm dating an idiot. FML
Today, I woke up at noon after barely sleeping. I've been diagnosed with sleeping disorders, so this isn't out of the ordinary. The issue is, my boyfriend doesn't think it's a big deal, and is mad at me for wanting to stay in bed after he got up. FML
Today, I tried to talk to my boyfriend about our communication problems. He fell asleep. FML

I appreciate a good morning text from my (hypothetical) girlfriend. Shows she cares. Now if it's a daily thing for you to text him early in the morning.. Depends. He can just turn the ringer off for the texts like I do. I get texts at all times from friends away at college or who just live far away, but I learned to silence my phone completely rather than bitch about it.

Is it really that necessary to text someone "good morning"? I'm sure that's a nice gesture, but that would bug me if someone did that constantly. Let's hope you don't :)

Agreed. Seriously, it's cute maybe after a special evening, but if I randomly received a text that said good morning, I'd be very pissed off if that was what woke me up.

This. My ex did that EVERYDAY for weeks when he got up at 7 in the morning for work. Eventually asked him to cut that shit out.

Agreed. Plus, we don't know if this is the first time the OP did this, she probably does the Good night, Good morning, Happy one week anniversary texts too. I would be mad, and call her needy too.

I actually wake up and text my bf have a good day cuz he goes to class in the am

@34, but you text him and know he is awake. I hate it when someone sends me a text message before my alarm goes off. If my phone wakes me up, it sets me off. ._.

My boyfriend actually does text me good morning every day as soon as he wakes up. I actually think it's really sweet, but if I had a problem with it, I'd just turn my ringer off. It's not that difficult to just disable your text ringtone.

Ringtone or not, it can still be ANNOYING. If you do like the stupid one or two word text messages from your boyfriend, that's just fine. However, quite a few people here, including myself, think that it is quite obnoxious, and it does come off needy.

Texts are like post it notes, if you had your phone on virbrate or not attached to your GD ear while you sleep... Then it would be a nice gesture and a sweet note to wake up to. It's not needy at all.

@72, maybe every once in awhile. Not every damn day. :)

if you get that annoyed by a sweet little gesture then you are probably really bitchy and shouldn't be in a relationship anyway
ladykat 0
Of course every once in a while! :) Otherwise its not as special if you get it EVERYDAY.
Monikabug 9
:) that is a beautiful point...

It varies from relationship to relationship. Just like in mine, we don't celebrate anniversaries, even though we've been together almost two years. Some like it while others don't. I keep my phone across the house so I don't hear it go off, and I read it when I go to make breakfast. But that's just me and him.

I remember when I was in a relationship where I had to justify not being happy and romantic...it sucked. now I'm with a guy who is sweet as can be, and I love all his texts. I could never go back to a bitter relationship where the person gets annoyed at nice little gestures.

Have any of you guys heard of a silent function on phones? It exists...

it's probably his date that you woke up.

Don't text people when you wake up, you being awake does not mean the other person is awake as well.
Sindyy 0
The OP wasn't sleeping. You don't sleep-text people good morning.

I've sleep-texted before.

You being awake does not mean he was awake as well. I would have been pissed if someone had woken me up saying good morning!

let people sleep, geezuz! I hate when I get woken up with a 'good morning' txt

Man, I hate when people do that, I always get pissed off and ignore them for like...days. It's so ******* annoying, and to everyone who does that; JUST ******* STOP!!!

You two deserve one another. Him for using any excuse to ditch work, you for waking him up while he was trying to sleep because you're insecure.

Freeze, this is a recurring theme of yours. Are you secretly a nice guy in real life and getting left for rude boys? Only immature girls for the jerks. Find a woman that is worthy of the special treatment you'd give her.

How does "good morning" translate to "I'm insecure." I get that texting someone good morning is annoying but there is zero correlation between a good morning text and insecurity.
