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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

Important things to consider. Did you know he was asleep? If he's been your boyfriend for awhile, do you know he keeps his phone on to get emergency messages when he's sleeping? Now you know this is a pet peeve, just don't text him when you know he's sleeping anymore. Hardly an FML. Now if he's very anal retentive about you following his patterns even if they change a lot, you have to decide if that's something you want in a relationship. Personally this doesn't bug me, I prefer someone who is structured but flexible. And text messages cost a lot of people money, some people prefer not getting them if they don't relate to anything. kk, good morning, ect. Kind of pointless. Especially if you see him all the time. + Thinking this is a fml strikes me as a bit of an overreaction.

Hey snickerdoodles, by the way people in actual real-life relationships do text each other when they wake up, that wouldn't be texting every thought. You'd probably know that if you ever had an actual relationship. Online doesn't count.

Why would you wake up your boyfriend just because you got up early? I wouldn't call that "needy" but maybe he didn't want to call you something worse. Selfish works. You just couldn't let him sleep?

I've noticed lately that all you do is summarize what everyone else said and add your own little spin on it. It's cool and all, but by the time we reach half way down the page it's just the saaaame thing. I guess it wouldn't be so bad, but you comment on almost every FML there is.

here's the deal, ladies... i have no problem being all lovey-dovey with a girl (heck, i'm probably the most affectionate, lovey-dovey guy out there), but those 1-2 word texts that a lot of you do IS freakin annoying. for example, if i got a text from my girl that said "hey, just wanted to say good morning so u have something nice to wake up to," i'd think that was sweet as hell. but a text that just says "good morning" screams "hey, pay attention to me!" not good. and the worst thing ever is when you don't respond for awhile and the girl feels the need to get your attention with a "so..." or just "...?" for god's sake, man, if i don't text you for ten minutes, just assume that i'm busy and i'll respond as soon as i can!

what a needy **** of a bitch you are

You are needy, but what you need is a new boyfriend. One who has a better and more accurate vocabulary. You are "selfish" and "inconsiderate", not "needy."

That is pretty fricking annoying. I'd hate if my partner did that.
