Your boy friend probably feels so much worse about this than you do. He probably didn't pay attention to what you were talking about so just said that without thinking. F his life.

Why do people always jump to the conclusions that the boyfriend's a bastard? She probably does talk too much. My boyfriend says that to me too, but whenever he does, I realize and acknowledge that it's true. I've noticed a lot of girls talk to their boyfriends as if they're talking to themselves, like an internal monologue that's voiced. Verbal diarrhea. The role of a boyfriend really isn't to listen to all the whining that you'd otherwise have to keep in. My sympathies for your dad, but ydi for treating your boyfriend as some sort of garbage disposal for all your thoughts. After 5 years, if you still feel the need to grieve, set aside some alone time to reflect, reminisce, and then collect yourself. There really shouldn't be a reason for you to clamor for attention from your boyfriend at this stage.

I love my dad five year ago, and it still hurts. I don't blame you for crying. You need a guy who will be sympathetic towards you. My boyfriend is always there to hold me through the rough days, even if it's not the anniversary of my father dying. You deserve better. And as for all the jerk-asses telling you rude comments.. ftl, they don't get it.

Ahahaha YDI because it's probably true.

YDI

5 years is a long time. Time to move on already

God, this site is a showcase of bad and unsympathetic boyfriends. I hope you're handling the loss and grieving well.

that's ******* unreal... get him out of your life. I can't even imagine saying that to a girl I care about.

#211, Exactly. Remembering and reflecting on someone who died years ago is perfectly good and normal. Thrusting that loss on other people, in an obvious bid at attention, is not.

My deepest sympathies. Sadly and strangely enough, my father died on the same day, also five years ago. I think I'd punch someone in the nose if they said that to me. Find someone who deserves you!
