When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my girlfriend likes playing games on her phone more than she likes me. FML
Today, was trying to have an adult conversation with my fiancée but she's always on her phone, so I sent her a text message instead. Relationship goals. FML
Today, I wanted to spend some time with my girl, but she was more interested in her phone and 90 Day Fiancé. Bored, I went to play video games. Ten minutes later, she came looking for me and yelled that I clearly prefer video games to her. FML
Today, my girlfriend tearfully complained that I was smothering her to death with my clinginess, and that I should learn to respect her boundaries. This is after she complained I wasn't giving her enough attention. FML
Today, my girlfriend posted “Alexa, play 'Flowers' by Miley Cyrus” as her Facebook status, all because I didn’t return her 14 missed calls. Apparently, taking an online proctored exam, which required absolute concentration counts as “talking to other women.” FML
Today, after weeks of my girlfriend moaning that I never go anywhere, I went out with some friends. An hour in, she started blowing up my phone. When I answered it, she was screaming in rage because I wasn't home to cook dinner. FML
Today, my wife whined that she couldn't sleep, while she had her eyes glued to her phone, her Switch in her lap, the TV on, and her bedside light shining in her face. I've long since learned not to comment on this. FML
Today, my girlfriend accused me of cheating, all because I don't text her throughout the day. Last week she told me she would get fired if she was caught reading texts at work, and to stop texting her during her work hours. FML
Today, My girlfriend and I were watching tv when suddenly one of our phones start going off. We both have the same phone and they were next to each other. She picks up the phone and reads the text message, "I wish you were here! I'd fuck you silly" She gets pissed and runs out. It was her phone. FML
Today, while talking to my boyfriend, I was frantically searching for my cell phone. He was curious as to what I was doing so I told him. There was long silence followed by laughter. He could hardly breathe as he told me, "Honey you're on your phone talking to me." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She was talking about your lack of different communication skills. You should learn smoke signals, sign language and rapid text speak. If you really want to impress her I advise learning how to use the beacons of gondor. Bitches love the beacons of gondor.

Eye contact and communication go hand-in-hand, but phones also go in hands.

I've once done something similar to my ex. But I was doing it to prove my point: it's annoying to talk to someone who is only paying attention to their smart phone. So I would pretend to be on my phone while he was talking. He didn't listen to me when I confronted him, so I hoped that acting that way would show him. But idk if that's the case for OP's girlfriend. Otherwise it'd just be a matter of hypocrisy.

She obviously means your lack of communication skills while multi-tasking. You can't hold a deep, intellectual conversation while playing with your phone, driving, smoking, drinking a beer, and cooking flap jacks all at the same time? Sheesh, OP. What's wing with you?

study shows that cellphones are major part in distracted driving and also distracted communication..

To be fair this is pretty common with today and smartphones. Not saying it's excusable, your girlfriend should be giving you full attention, especially with the topic she is yelling at you about. She's obviously perceived that you are falling short of the mark in communication skills, too. Instead of laying blame back on her, why not re-evaluate yourselves and communicate? My wife and I have a rule where no phones at: 1. Dinner table 2. Bedroom 3. When company comes over - barring extraordinary circumstance

And? Just because -you- can't multitask doesn't mean your girlfriend is forbidden. Her communication skills might have been on full display in several conversations at that very moment, while you didn't engage her.

I think you're taking the word "skills" in the wrong context. Though it may take skill to carry on two conversations at once, it's bad manners to talk to ANYONE while on your phone. Besides, eye contact is a conversation skill, too.

Next time she talking say " I'm sorry what did you say? I was checking my post on FML" (even if you don't have you phone in your hand).
