Today, my boyfriend's freshly-repainted car got keyed. He's literally more of an inconsolable wreck now than he was when his own mother passed away last year. When I tried hinting that he was overreacting, he told me to go to hell. FML

Today, I got the news that my ex-boyfriend from two years ago died in a car crash. My fiancé found me crying in the living room when he came home from work.

You don't **** with a man's car... Because I'm sure it wasn't cheap.

It's amazing what people put at the top of their priority lists when it comes to reacting...

why do girls cant understand why man loves der car!

Why do girls not understand why men love their car* Learn at least SOME grammar
Shrike 24
Awful grammar aside, I don't understand it either. Sure, value your special possessions and all that, but don't drama queen over it, especially to the point where you have a stronger emotional response to it being slightly damaged than the one you have to your mom kicking the bucket.

it's not just a guy thing. Some guys don't care about their car. And then there's girls like me that car more about how their car looks than their makeup

I would assume that the crying over the car has more to do with having a shitty year (his mom dying, car being keyed, insensitive girlfriend) than the car itself.

He sounds like Dean Winchester...

Dean would never take Baby being damaged as hard as losing his mom. Or anyone apart of his family.

Dean Winchester is awesome!

Maybe he wasn't very close with his mom? And maybe he saved money for a Kong time both to buy the car and to fix it. I'd be pissed too if someone damaged something I worked for for a long time.

Could not have said it better myself.

Valuing a car more over your mother's passing? The ****? :/ that's just pathetic.
Shrike 24
It's a ******* dark day when I find myself agreeing with Olpally! But it's true, sadly.

What makes y'all think he was close to his mother? Not all people are close to their mother.

Grieving is a fundamental part of human psychology. Plenty of people do it even over abusive parents. Besides which, going all inconsolable over a car being keyed is overreaction to the max. Annoyed? Yeah. Pissed off? Yeah. Borderline grieving? No.

maybe its transference. he didnt deal with his mothers death at the time so he is doing so now.

It's all about how the OP perceives her bf though. Maybe he just wasn't as outwardly expressive as he is now, which would make sense if he was lost in memories about his mother. From the post, it sounds like it's possible this emotion is closer to rage while the former situation could have been grief - which would make perfect sense.

I sobbed like a baby when my Mustang was hit in a parking lot. It isn't fun when people damage your expensive property that you put a lot of time and thought into caring for. That said, he probably cared more for his mom even if he didn't show it.

Looks like someone car-es too much about their car!

"A car is a privlage, respect it." Armor All commercial. You must not care about your car at all.

Exactly! "Don't **** with another man's vehicle" ~Pulp Fiction Also don't judge him. People grieve death their own way.

Helpfully pointing out that he was overreacting probably made him feel a lot better about himself. You sound like an excellent support.

To be fair, his mothers passing might not have been unexpected, his grief had time to prepare for it. An attack on a man's car is like an attack on his child, it's totally defenseless.
