Today, I finally got up the courage to talk to my four-year boyfriend about how insecure I've been feeling in our relationship recently, and how I needed his support while I try to get my self-esteem back on-track. He fell asleep mid-conversation. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I tried to talk to my boyfriend about our communication problems. He fell asleep. FML
Today, I finally got up the courage to tell my boyfriend of a year and a half that I love him. His response was to start to snore, pretending to be asleep. FML
Today, I spilled my guts out to my fiancé about some insecurities I've been having. I then turned to look at him through tears at his expressionless face as he texted someone. FML
Today, I had a nervous breakdown. My life has been going down the drain and I called my boyfriend for comfort. I was crying my eyes out, finally getting everything off of my chest that has been bothering me. I thought it was quiet because he was listening closely. I was wrong. He fell asleep. FML
Today, I discovered that I sometimes talk in my sleep. After spending an amazing, perfectly romantic night with my boyfriend, I woke up to him telling me to leave. I have no idea what I could have said. He still won't talk to me. FML
Today, after laying down to sleep, my boyfriend seemed like he was having trouble trying to say something. After asking what was wrong a couple of times, he said, "I don't want to do this anymore" and got up and left. I had planned on telling him I love him. Saved myself some embarrassment I guess. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over to cheer me up after I'd had a sleepless night. He thought it would be a good time to propose. Unfortunately, it coincided with me yawning. FML
Today, after not being able to sleep for two hours because my boyfriend wouldn't stop talking, he fell asleep and I was left wide awake. I listened to him snore for another three hours and only got a couple of hours sleep. He's not working today, but I am. FML
Today, while in bed, I tried to explain how overworked and unappreciated I feel doing all the housework to my fiancé. It was only when I'd finished my long rant that I realized he had been asleep almost the whole time. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my boyfriend for an hour listening to him talk about his new truck and his final exams. I literally did not say a single word. Just as I said, "Hey baby, guess what happened to me today?", he says, "Can I go to sleep? I'm too tired to guess. Night." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He exerted himself SO much trying to support you that he fell straight asleep in a bout of pure, devoted exhaustion.

Can you stop by my place? I've been needing some help getting to sleep lately.

Some boyfriends don't understand why we get insecure or self conscious. Mine especially. Hopefully if you explain to him clearly why you feel that way you can both sort it out :)

You expected a man to understand deep feelings and complex emotions? What do you expect him to understand next, colours and fashion? Madness!

find some time and a place when and where he can't find any option but listen to your problem.

Never tell the same joke twice, especially in the same thread, people notice.

As soon as I saw the phrase 'four-year boyfriend,' I knew ydi. If you guys can't commit after that long, how can you expect him to be that invested? I'd be insecure too.

Some people don't believe in marriage, you know.

Or they could be young. My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly 4 years and we're 18. I wouldn't want to get married until my mid twenties or later.

People also date without plans of being together for forty years.

Like 30 said sometimes you're too young. My husband and I started dating at 17 we were together almost 4 years before we got married. It doesn't always have to do with commitment issues.

I'd've thought that being together for four years WAS commitment?

I read that as "four-year-old boyfriend" and I was a little worried for a moment there.
