Today, my girlfriend is giving me the silent treatment and is making me sleep on the couch, all because I said I loved my best female friend. I meant loved like family. She still won’t hear me out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend of five years gave me the silent treatment, refusing to talk to me or do anything more than glare at me during the entire three-hour drive we took this morning. Why? Because I slept with his best friend. In his dream last night. FML
Today, I told my girlfriend about a huge fight I had with my female best friend. This friend no longer wants anything to do with me, and I was obviously upset about it. Instead of being supportive, all my girlfriend said was, "Well maybe now you'll shut the fuck up about her for once." FML
Today, it's my girlfriend's birthday. To celebrate, I spent the day with her and then took her out to a really nice dinner. She is currently giving me the silent treatment because I didn't write "Happy Birthday" on her Facebook wall. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she heard me say "love you" on the phone. I was talking to my mom. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I got into a huge fight. She kicked me out of the apartment and told me to never come back. Devastated, I waited outside of the apartment door for hours, hoping she'd reconsider. I ended up falling asleep. I woke up to her foot stomping on me, screaming, "I meant it!" FML
Today, I tried to break up with my girlfriend because I feel unappreciated. She fell asleep while I was attempting this. FML
Today, my girlfriend woke me up at 5am to tell me she was mad at me. Apparently I did something bad in her dream. She still won't talk to me. FML
Today, my wife is giving me the silent treatment and has locked herself in the bedroom, all because I politely asked her to put the dishcloth away when she was done with it. FML
Today, I told my girlfriend I loved her. She left and never came back. FML
Today, it’s been three hours since my girlfriend starting giving me the silent treatment. I went to the bakery to buy some pastries, so I asked her if she wanted any before I left. She said “No.” I came home with one pastry for myself and she threw a tantrum because she'd said “No” to see if I would get her one anyway. I’m confused. FML

If you read the book: Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment, it covers this issue. Sounds like your girlfriend isn't feeling secure in the relationship. That's the real issue, not what you said. or maybe not, good luck.

your girlfriends needs a reality check. And it takes a real man to be open about how he feels about his friends.

Yeah it's not a good idea to say that. I know exactly what you mean. I love my female and male besties too but I know there's a chance that if I verbally express love for my female bestie, despite a friendship level, there's a chance it will cause turmoil and jealousy with my girl. You're not wrong, just triggered a common emotion. I experienced a similar thing with my last relationship and it caused great backlash. Have a conversation with your girl, apologize and accept any L just to move on. Don't fight it cause it will make her think she has a reason.

Dump her ass and move on. A partner that can't handle you loving your best friends isn't a good one.

I’d have to hear the context, sometimes people say things and it sounds really hurtful

100% honestly - dump her. There are MANY people who will be romantically compatible with you, and you don't have to stay with someone who cannot understand that there is no REAL differences in the types of love except what you choose. You love your best friend. You love your girlfriend. These things are both true, perfectly fine statements. Sure, you COULD spend your time working with your girlfriend through her insecurities and her biases, helping her unlearn her crap. But why? It'd be better for you to find someone who will understand you love your friends, and it'll be better for her to find someone who thinks having friends of the opposite sex are cheating. (Last bit is sarcasm, it's never better for anyone to assume that)

****** up bro

This is behaviour exhibited by a jealous and insecure person. It starts with shit like this and may eventually escalate to her going through your phone and demanding that you to cut off your female friends and female coworkers too. The silent treatment and refusal to communicate is called 'stonewalling', this is a form of emotional abuse. Dump her and move on.

How would you react if she told you she loved a male friend of hers?

Personally, I wouldn't react well. However, I also know that even if they hide it from me it won't change anything and if I find out about it later, it will just hurt more. It's better to get with reality and accept that people we care lots about will love friends and family in many different ways. In other words, this is just an emotional Band-Aid that needs to be ripped off. The faster, the better and less-painful.
