Today, my boyfriend told his friends he was dating me. We've been together for a year and a half. His friends didn't even know I existed before. FML

You deserved it 3 220

Myyrh tells us more.

Yaaaaaay it got publiiiished ! :D Hi everyone, OP here =) Time for explainations ! We've been in a long distance relationship for one year and a half. So when he came to my place, I made him meet my family and friends because I was so happy to be with him, but when I came to his place, I never met anyone beside his brothers and parents (I still haven't met one of his brothers who lives far away from both my place and my bf's place). My bf lives in a small village, his friends live somewhere else and so we could not randomly run into them either. At first it pissed me off that he didn't want to tell anyone (even our friends who knew both of us), but then he started to be ok with it and to tell everyone how lucky he was to have me. He told his very close friends though, but the other ones never knew about me. For those who say I should find someone else : before meeting me he was with a girl during 5 years and that time his family didn't know about her, on Facebook he was even acting like "if you know a cute girl, intoduce her to me, you know I'm single" etc, whereas I managed to make him remove the "single" from his profile page (now there is nothing, it's not written "in a relationship" either but at least, other girls won't see he's "single" anymore) and I was the first girlfriend he ever brought back home and introduced to his family. So I'm kind of a big deal ;) Tha main reason he didn't want to tell his friends is because he doens't like people to know about his private life, but also because he is tired of people gossiping. Also I never insisted too much on meeting his friends because I am really really really shy and was ok with not having to meet people I didn't know but who had known my bf for years. By the way, his friends were mad at him for not telling them for one and a half year, but he said it was his choice and he was ok with it. And finally, I was not really complaining, but people here had the same reaction as some of my friends, and I thought it was an... original situation ! =) So, there you go !

I don't really buy this. It seems to me that he's the sort of person who doesn't want others to know of his relationship so that he can still act like he's single when he's out with his friends. And the previous thing with his ex on Facebook just proves this in my opinion.

No you are not a big deal. When a man truly falls in love he'd want everyone to know. He'd be grinning from ear to ear telling his friends and family who has been making him happy or he would "casually" slip a mention of you in every conversation he has. When a man falls in love you would know. They would know. Even if he chose to only tell the most important people in his life, people around him will notice. Which is not the case of your boyfriend. He isn't just a "private" person. He's just keeping his options open by not telling everyone about you. And one more thing. He's still single on Facebook. He just set his privacy settings so you won't see it.

Lol I've never read so much denial on your part for why he kept you a secret. Girl good luck because you will never be first in his life that's for sure.

Keeping a private life secret is sometimes a good thing...but now since your known it's kind of a good thing

Am I the only one that thinks this sounds like OP is in a long distance relationship perhaps? I'd imagine it would be difficult to not only hide someone, in a sense, for so long; but for your SO to not wonder why they never see your buddies either is a stretch for me.

If you didn't exist to his friends that long then I say it's about time he stops existing to you as well

OP you have made yourself "a big deal." Just because you think you're top priority to him it's obvious that you are naïve. If you were important to him, his friends would have already known. Sounds suspicious..

'So I'm kind of a big deal' Who are you? Ron Burgundy? Who even says that?

I didn't think I had to write "(BY THE WAY, THIS IS A JOKE)". Apparently I had to.

It's always easy to say you were joking after the event...... That aside, honestly this relationship does not seem healthy. You'll realise we're all right one day and genuinely good luck because you will someday find someone who will treat you with respect and love.

Maybe, but only maybe, the ';)' was an indicator for a joke

It's always easy to live life light hearted, and not play stupid. Obviously it was a joke. You just made yourself look retarded.
