Today, my boyfriend took me to get the abortion that we both agreed on. He was being so supportive through the whole thing. When it was all over I thanked him for coming. He replied, "Well that's what got us here in the first place!" He's still mad he can't tell anyone his joke. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boyfriend's dad helped me put coolant in my car. When I said I wished I could do something in return, he told me to get an abortion so I wouldn't "ruin" his son's life. When I told my boyfriend, he didn't believe me. FML
Today, I called my ex and told him I was pregnant with his child. He was thrilled, going on and on about how much he wanted to be a dad. I had to tell him I was going to abort it. FML
Today, I had the abortion my husband and I agreed on, after multiple forms of birth control failed. His family somehow found out, and now they're all mad at us for not telling them I was ever pregnant, with a child we never wanted, and took precautions to avoid creating. FML
Today, after telling me his other girlfriend is pregnant, my boyfriend said we should stay together so I could help out with the baby. FML
Today, I found out I was pregnant. I told my boyfriend, who held me and promised it'd be alright, and he'd never leave me. One sandwich later, he'd forgotten about the whole thing, and dumped me when I reminded him. FML
Today, I did a pregnancy announcement with my boyfriend and our families. My boyfriend acted happy until we were driving home, then claimed I pressured him with witnesses, started to cry because he doesn’t want kids, and by the end was begging me to give it up for adoption. FML
Today, I called my boyfriend to let him know that I'm pregnant. He instantly replied "Bullshit!", then hung up and apparently skipped town. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I’m pregnant. He broke down crying because his mother is going to be so mad at him. He’s in his 30’s and we've lived together for over 4 years, it’s not like it was a drunken mistake, it just happened naturally. FML
Today, I turned down my boyfriend's proposal because I'm pregnant and I told him I didn't want people thinking that's why we were getting married. He… did not react well. Yes, he knows that I'm pregnant. FML
Today, my boyfriend "finally figured out" that he couldn't possibly be the father of my child, and publicly broke up with me. When I reminded him that I was already pregnant when we first met, he "extra" broke up with me for making him look stupid. FML

High five to your boyfriend for a fantastic joke!

sometimes the best way to help accept a tough decision is to laugh about it plus it's a really clever joke so I don't think you should over react

All the women here are like "wow how immature" and all the guys here are like "what a clever joke". I'm a guy so I find it a clever joke

I'm a woman and I found it clever. My sister would as well... So there goes that theory.

I think many readers are missing the point of the FML. The problem is that the boyfriend wants to tell other people his joke which would let others know about the abortion itself. Though it's their decision to terminate the pregnancy, it can be a touchy subject that the OP might feel is no one else's business. Especially if word gets out to family or others that might feel a need to voice their opinion about what was done.

You're a terrible person! That's an amazing joke!

No, she is not a terrible person. Don't be a jerk.

Yes, she's a terrible person for having a different sense of humor. That adds up.

What a tough decision, but it's wonderful that you had great support. If you guys aren't using BC... I'd like to personally say I love my Skyla IUD. As a woman, I know how draining and hard it is to find the right birth control. If your BC options actually failed, I'm sorry and keep trying to find what works best. Best of luck!

He loved an supported you during a very difficult time (that I know of from experience.) Sometimes men just have to say a stupid joke to lighten a mood that had become really dark. He meant nothing by it, but I can understand your frustration. Thank him for his support. He is a keeper!

It's not about a joke. Op's boyfriend want to tell other people that she had abortion. That's the case.

I'm sorry, but that's funny. Lol. The joke, not the abortion.

Wow, an abortion, how horrible that is

This kind of thinking is probably exactly why she didn't want him to share the news (especially not by way of a joke) with others.
