Today, my wife and I decided to try a relationship book. The first activity was to write down some things your partner does that bothers you. I made a very long list, then my wife and I swapped papers. She'd written, "Nothing, I love everything about you." She read my list and began tearing up. FML

Today, I went to therapy. Previously, I had been given the task to write a list of things I hate about myself so my doctor could see what we needed to work on. I gave her the list, and she simply said, "Wow, I've never had someone give me such a long list." I had 55 items on the list. FML

Today, I wrote my girlfriend a song. She wrote me a 13-page letter on why we should break up. FML

Today, I was out of town on a work trip. I'd fought with my wife before leaving, and I felt bad, so I called her and poured my heart out, telling her how much I loved her. She sighed and said, "Okay, anyway…" and complained about bills and chores for ten minutes, then wouldn't say she loved me. FML

You never listen

Today, after I'd offered to make suggestions to my partner after she finished writing an essay for her college class, and she'd read my suggestions, we argued about every single point I wrote down. Despite telling her she didn't have to take any suggestions we argued for 2 days about it. The professor had the same notes as mine. FML

Today, I was talking with my friend-turned boyfriend and cutely told him that I could no longer remember all the things that he used to do that bothered me. He told me he could remember every one of mine and listed them all off for me. FML

Romance is dead

By Dead Bedrooms, here i come - 13/03/2025 02:00 - United Kingdom - Cardiff

Today, I realized our life has been lacking in romance lately, so I got a card, a bunch of flowers, and made reservations at a lovely restaurant for a nice evening. When I got home and gave my wife the flowers, all she did was sigh and ask what I "fucked up this time." She also refused to go to dinner. FML

Too late

By lynxstorm - 17/11/2009 04:13 - United States

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend whom I love dearly because he doesn't share his feelings and won't commit. Yesterday, he wrote me a long love letter telling me he wanted to marry me. One of my kids had shoved it under my printer and I didn't find it until after he had moved out. FML

Today, my girlfriend found a letter I'd written to myself for moral support while we were broken up, in which I explained why we would never work out. Apparently I made a convincing argument. FML

Good start

By atsukobo - 23/02/2012 07:59 - United States

Today, my husband and I went to our first counseling sessions, where the main focus was communication. When the therapist called us in together to discuss techniques we could use at home, my husband looked around, rolled his eyes, and responded with, "Uh huh" to every question. FML

Mask off

Today, we went to couples' counselling. After a while the therapist said to me, “Madam, since we've started, your husband has managed two full sentences without you interrupting him, and most of what you said was, frankly, childish whining.” I'm starting to realise I might be the problem. FML

If I were you I would keep her paper handy for future instances of her becoming upset at you. Husband: Why are you acting upset? (passes wife the paper) You love "everything about me". Don't feel bad, you played by the rules.

You're kind of driving it to the extremes. Telling someone that their marriage is doomed simply because the wife was trying to be cute about a relationship book they were doing is WAY overstating it. Seriously.

Your wife is full of shit. There is no way two people can live with each other and have absolutely nothing bother them about each other.

The OP didn't say "she bought this book and made me fill it out".. but "my wife and I decided to try" it. Stop blaming the woman for "manipulating" him. She loved everything about him and found out that he despised a lot of things about her, imagine how she might be feeling right about now? My boyfriend told me after 3 years the things he cant stand about me, and it was one of the worst mistakes he ever made. There is honesty, and there is crossing a line. Those books are meant to strengthen relationships, and you REALLY shouldn't have made a list that long. That's just asking for trouble.

I read this exact thing in Reader's Digest years ago, except it was the wife who suggested it and went first, and when it was the husband's turn he said he loved her exactly as she was. I suspect this one is a fake...

Your wife lied. Who knows why if she suggested that you do it, but she definitely lied. No one wants to be with someone who is perfect because that would just be boring, I'm sure there is at least one thing she dislikes and she lied. Her fault not yours.
