Today, we took an AP exam for Literature. One of the passages was about keeping in feelings in a relationship so that no one is "a burden". My boyfriend read the same passage and felt like he was a burden. I can't convince him otherwise. Thank you college board for endangering my relationship. FML

Today, my boyfriend has been grumpy for days, because his essay on society's fixation with performance, winning awards and getting good grades got a somewhat disappointing grade. FML

Today, I took an exam in order to apply for a graduate program I want to get into. Last night, my boyfriend decided it was a good time to break up with me out of the blue. I broke down three times in the middle of the test, and I just barely failed it. FML

Today, I found out I've miserably failed a college exam. My friend had agreed to pass me answers if I needed them, since I've hardly studied this year. We were on the phone when she said, "Oh, those answers were bullshit. Serves you right, huh?" FML

Today, the night before an exam, I found out my boyfriend of one and a half years was cheating on me with a girl who has the same name as me. Not only that, I ended up consoling her for hours as she cried over him. FML

Today, my boyfriend jokingly said that if I didn't pass my exam, he wouldn't have sex with me for a month. I failed it, and now he thinks I did it on purpose. FML

Today, the professor I've had a crush on informed me that there's only one way left I could still pass his course. Thinking this was an attempt to flirt with me, I told him I'd do anything he could imagine. He then looked confused when he asked me to write an essay. FML

Today, my boyfriend was reading me a poem he wrote for me. It was beautiful, and going really well… until he read the last line, which had a girl's name in it. It wasn't my name. My boyfriend said, "Shit, wrong girl", and dug through his bag for a different poem. FML

Today, I made a multiple choice exam so my friend could practice and get a good grade on his real exam. While I was helping him finish it, the teacher saw it, thought we were cheating and failed us both. FML

Today, I wrote my boyfriend a love letter during class and told him to read it when he got home. He texted me later asking me why I gave him my school assignment. I must have handed the love letter in to my teacher. FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me to write him a poem, as I am an avid writer. Happily, I agreed. After hours of working, I proudly presented it to him. He read it, laughed, and said, "No babe, I meant a real poem." Maybe I should rethink my career choice. FML

Well. I have to say that it isn't quite their fault. All the while, that sucks. It does. But just tell him some good things about himself and I'm sure he'll get all proud and he'll feel fine.

So... He's burdening you about being a burden but you don't think he's a burden but because he does it has become a burden in the relationship all the while he is burdened by feeling like he is a burden. Wow

eh, i feel the same way, and i stopped caring. try telling him that it doesn't matter if he is a "burden" or not. if you think the relationship is equal, then it is equal. maybe, if he wants to, he can do more things to help you out, to be less of a "burden".

I'm engaged to my high-school boyfriend and we've been together for 5 years. Just because it's high-school doesn't mean the relationship doesn't matter.

Why blame the college board for how he's feeling? Not to mention why try to change his mind on it?

Most people want their significant others to feel well, and convincing them they are not a burden because they are not a burden, only seems logical to me?

Um, are you seriously asking why she's trying to convince her boyfriend that he isn't a burden? Maybe it's because she's a good partner who doesn't want her boyfriend feeling like shit all the time, especially within their relationship. Who would want their significant other to feel like they're a strain and a bother? Unless you're like a really sadistic, terrible person.
