Today, my girlfriend furiously bitched me out because I got more upset about my phone screen cracking than when she told me about the death of her cat. We hadn't even met when her cat died. Did she expect me to burst into tears from hearing the story? Guess who's single again… FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I texted my girlfriend to tell her that we couldn't hang out because my dog died this morning and we were burying him. She replied that she wasn't going to get stood up by a stupid dog. She then broke up with me. FML
Today, at the end of a 15 hour shift, my girlfriend and her friends played a "prank" on me by texting me from a random number saying my cat got hit by a car. I immediately burst into tears and lost it in front of my colleagues. My cat is fine. My relationship is the real joke. FML
Today, I was on a date with a girl I've been crushing on for a while. At one point we started talking about pets we'd had. I wanted to show my sensitive side, so I told her how I sadly had to get my beloved cat euthanized earlier that week, and had buried her in my backyard. Her response? "Ew." FML
Today, I was crying because my cat died. My boyfriend cupped my face in his hands, looked me straight into the eyes and said, "I love seeing you cry." FML
Today, my girlfriend of six months yelled at me for not comforting her while she was crying because her ex got a new girlfriend, and "it's just not fair." FML
Today, after holing myself up in my room for the day, I eventually turned my phone back on and told my girlfriend that my grandma passed away today. She replied, "Ask me if I fucking care," then accused me of not caring about our relationship because I went offline all day. FML
Today, I got home from work to find my boyfriend sobbing hysterically over the death of his cat. The only cat he could be talking about is the one on his Sims account. FML
Today, my overly-attached 14-year-old cat wanted attention while I was in a heated Skype argument with my girlfriend. Worked up from the fight, I raised my voice and said, "Not now, go away!" He ran to his little bed, had a heart attack and died. I was a complete dick to my cat in his last moments. FML
Today, my phone died while I was on the phone with my girlfriend. When I finally got a charger, I saw a text message from her. I'm now single. FML
Today, my girlfriend's best friend was dumped, and was absolutely depressed. My girlfriend thought she'd show her sympathy by breaking up with me so they "could be single together." FML

If the cat meant a lot to her you should probably be sympathetic, it's hard losing a pet. But at the same time she also shouldn't have overreacted and broken up with you over not sobbing over a deceased animal that was never relevant to your relationship to begin with.

ydi. if it was her dad or other relative would you have reacted the same way? she obviously loved her cat, so why wouldn't that be important to you? you care more about your inanimate object that can be replaced than a living creature whom your lover values.

Give me a break. So after he hears about her cat, he needs to never show more emotion about anything else in the future? You're just as crazy as his ex.

that's not what I ******* said. he doesn't need to only care about the cat, but the way op worded it sounded like he cared more about his phone than a living being.

Your ex-girlfriend has the logic of the FML comment section

Wonder if OP cried when his phone screen cracked

You do not need someone like that OP. Someone who creates bulls*** drama like that is not worth the time

It is just as hard to lose a cat as any other family member. You deserve to be single. She just wanted your love and support but you were more worried about your REPLACABLE phone screen than her IRREPLACAE kitty

Caring about a cracked phone screen makes sense because it affects OP at the moment. He shouldn't have to be incredibly sad over a story of a cat from before they met. If you encountered somebody telling you their parent died about 5 years ago, you'd give them sympathy. It's not saying he didn't care about the chat at all, just that he cared about his phone screen more than a sad story.

That's not a good reason to break up. It's an excuse. You re better off without her

Real life problems right there. Op the gf is way to dramatic wow! Your relationship wasn't very strong if that's all it took to break things off. Shitty but get a new phone and gf .
