Today, I asked my boyfriend why he never seems to have his own opinion, always agrees with me, and does whatever I want. That’s when he admitted he’s scared of me and is terrified of saying or doing anything I won’t like. I have no idea what I did to scare him this badly. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I tried to tell my boyfriend how I have been feeling recently in our relationship. He lashed out at me, saying I was just accusing him of being the bad guy. I guess I'll never express my feelings ever again. FML
Today, I admitted my fear of small spaces to my boyfriend. His response was to immediately lock me in the hall closet. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that he becomes a boring version of himself whenever we are together. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that the main reason he was dating me was because he was intimidated by pretty girls. FML
Today, my boyfriend spent an hour lecturing me on how I need to ask for what I want. So I asked him to delete a crappy picture he'd taken of me the night before. His response: "No, you don't always get what you want." FML
Today, while out for our romantic Valentine's dinner, my boyfriend of 2 and a half years told me that he believes in females being subservient, that I'm not allowed to have opinions anymore, that he is "the alpha dog" and I'm merely the "beta dog", and that I have to "get used to it." FML
Today, my boyfriend shared with me his anxiety about death, so I shared with him one of my ridiculously irrational fears. He thought I was making fun of him and now won't talk to me. FML
Today, I asked my husband to talk and he got the most tired and “Here we go again” look and then asked what he’d done wrong this time. Apparently, I get mad at him so often that now every time we talk, he immediately assumes he did something wrong. I think I’m a horrible wife. FML
Today, I realized just how spoiled and immature my boyfriend is when I asked him several times what he’d like for dinner. Getting no answer, I made steak, potatoes and salad. He then sulked and refused to eat it, since he wanted spaghetti and meatballs instead. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I loved him. His response? "Is that why you have been so clingy and annoying lately?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Probably something he learned from previous relationships. My last girlfriend nothing could be said without her turning it into an argument. Suspect drama was her love language. Thankfully current gf communicates like we're partners on the same team and it's amazing.

Does he know any of your ex boyfriends? They may have told him things to mess with him.

He's a keeper! You're going to wear the pants in this relationship. Happy wife, happy life!

Maybe it wasn’t you. It could be a byproduct of past relationships.

it's not you, he's just a pantywaist.

You probably did nothing. I had a boyfriend like that once. He was just a stupid man who agreed with everything I said because he had no backbone. I dumped him.

your boyfriend probably has PTSD from childhood trauma most likely at the hands of a female. you should probably but very gently talk to him about this, so he can seek some therapy, if you truly like the guy and want to help that's the best option.

This is the way. Looking at all the answers belittling the guy who has likely experienced deep trauma is disgusting. I hope the guy gets the help he needs to heal.
