Today, my boyfriend got rejected by his dream college. In an effort to comfort him, I told him that he is incredibly smart and that it's their loss. He replied, "Of course you think so, you're an idiot!" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend and I were at a restaurant with a few other couples, and my boyfriend started to rant on how "all the hot chicks are dumb." Apparently, I'm either ugly or stupid. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were talking about our past relationships. He told me that he broke up with his last girlfriend because she was smart and he suited someone who was quite stupid. He then went on to say that I was perfect for him. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said he needed to be with someone smart so that he could impress his parents. I just got accepted into medical school. When I pointed that out to him, he added that he needed to be with someone attractive. FML
Today, I asked out the man of my dreams. He's smart, attractive, and has a steady job. Imagine my surprise when he accepted. Then imagine my surprise when he followed up with, "Hah, just kidding. You're fucking BORING!" FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he didn't feel attractive. I tried to cheer him up by telling him that I find him very attractive, and so do my friends. He said that didn't matter, because my friends and I aren't attractive either. FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend refer to me as a “pretty but dumb chick” because I like horror movies and comedies over his boring pseudo intellectual dramas. I literally have two degrees and I'm working on a third, while he has neither, yet he thinks he’s smarter than me because of movies. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were in bed and I asked him why he was with me. His answer was, "Well, the last girl I dated was really smart and she always made me feel dumb, so I decided to switch things up a bit. You make me feel like a genius, babe." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me all about how his parents sat him down last night and had a 20 minute talk with him about how I'm the biggest mistake he'll ever make. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I talked about our past relationships. He said he broke up with his last girlfriend because she was "too smart" for him, and that he felt better being with someone who "doesn't have too many lights on upstairs, if you know what I mean." FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years accidentally admitted to me that he settled for me because he doesn't think he can do any better. FML

If you think dumping someone after an outburst like that, stimulated from a situation like his, is reason enough to dump him then you are way too non-understanding yourself. If my girlfriend didn't have the ability to understand my frustration after something like that I wouldn't want her as a wife. What happens when your husband loses his job or gets in a car wreck and misdirects his angery words toward you? You gonna divorce him because your feelings are hurt? How about his feelings? Always wanting to know the good ones but never the angry ones. The guy should say sorry though b/c it was rude.

So where do you draw the line? If it's ok to lash out in anger/frustration at someone trying to comfort you, is it ok to hit them in the situation? Kick a nearby puppy in frustration? Throw a rock through your neighbor's window? Seriously. It's called self-restraint. If someone has so little they can't help being a douchebag every time something goes wrong, they should live in a cave alone.

I always agree with Intoxicunt. It should be some kind of policy you have to agree to when you sign up.

Well said. :] They've got anger management for a reason. xx

I'm really curious, OP, what's your boyfriend's dream college? If it's one of the really prestigious ones, I bet I know several people who are smarter than your boyfriend and also got rejected. (Somehow, though, knowing this doesn't ease the pain...)

I see you live in California. Was it Caltech? That's my dream college too :D

It was a shitty thing to say, and you're perfectly entitled to be angry since you were trying to be nice to him. But unless he's usually this disrespectful, chalk it up to his disappointment and try not to take it too personally.

I would assume that Xmas present was a pair of crunched nuts, and that his second present was that he was now available for the taking. If not, it should've been.
