Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML

Today, I told my boyfriend of nine months that depression runs in my family and I think the reason I've been flipping shit so much lately may be that I am depressed. Not five minutes later he decided a break would be "the best thing for us right now." FML

Today, my fiancé yelled at me after I got off the phone with my friends, because I said I hadn't felt this happy and hadn't laughed this much in a long time. He was also mad that I didn't cook him dinner. He didn't ask me to cook dinner for him. He then told me to go somewhere else if I'm not happy with him. FML

Today, I told to my girlfriend of 5 years that I'm depressed about having no friends, no job and a difficult family life. I told her that she's the one constant that keeps me going. She decided this was a good time to break up with me to "find" herself, since I was being so mopey. FML

Today, I was talking to my boyfriend, feeling pretty low. I said something along the lines of, "You like me even when I look like shit." He replied, "Ah, that's just how you naturally look." FML

I think cooking good dinners is better than being a crappy cook, nice work!

maybe he was aiming at a sense of humour? I agree with #3: good cook > crappy cook.

Maybe you should slap him? I sure would. It obviously ISNT a compliment. I would know. Long story short, hes pretty much sayin "yup u are pretty useless."

Congrats? Don't expect me to feel sympathy, I can't cook for my life and really appreciate a woman who takes the time to cook good food.

It seems like your "mental breakdown" wasn't a huge deal to your boyfriend, which probably means you're exaggerating... especially since you had to make your nickname "Suicidal."
