Today, my boyfriend still won't talk to me, after I caused him the "worst embarrassment" of his life in front of his friends. What did I do wrong? I joined their conversation and ended up confusing the fictional characters of Gollum and Yoda with one another. FML

Today, I had a massive argument with my boyfriend, in which he called me stupid repeatedly. I stomped out of his house and sent a very angry text to my best friend about him. She didn't text back. Then my boyfriend texted, "My girlfriend is so stupid, she can't even text the right number." FML
Today my boyfriend and my best friend had a very lengthy, detailed conversation about Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, of which I know nothing about. Once they stopped, I looked at him and smiled, and he responded with, "Why can't you be more like her?" FML

Today, I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone, when I accidentally let rip a monstrous fart. He swore at me for being a pig, hung up, and has ignored all my subsequent calls. I try not to date idiots, but it's like I have a big old shithead-attracting magnet attached to me or something. 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

Not strong is the force in you, my precious.

Maybe you shouldn't join conversations if you don't know what they're talking about.

If you know so little about Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, why on earth would you butt in on a conversation about them?

Your boyfriend obviously takes a strong interest in LOTR and Star Wars--excellent choices of interest, by the way. If you care about him, you should have at least tried to learn more about the subjects. Even if you don't like them, though I don't see how anyone could, just the fact that you tried to learn about them and take an interest is meaningful enough. If you see him with his friends in open conversation about such subjects, don't just jump right in and pretend to know what they're talking about. Ask them questions about it. Ask them how Smeagol turned into Gollum, or how The Great Jedi Purge began. As a fellow nerd, we are all happy to share our knowledge of the things we love.

Why does he expect you to know that....although you should Lotr and Star wars are so different. Especially since one was evil and the other wasn't....I don't even watch those and ik this lol. But he'll get over it, they're just movie characters.

234 - No worries, know what that's like. I meant no offense with my comment, just some tongue-in-cheek razzing. Your comment did get me thinking when you posted it of Yoda and Dooku battling it out while a bunch of cloned Genoa Salami alien soldiers get mowed down by giant circular-saw-armed droids. The poor Genoa Salami-people cut sliced up ad served in tasty sandwiches to Darth Sidious as he sheds a single sad-Keanu tear over the loss of Darth Maul. And that's when I was like... "Dood, WtF?! It's 3am and I'm laying on my bed." :P
