Today, my boyfriend said he was exhausted, and asked if I could watch our baby while he grabbed a nap. I told him to man the fuck up and deal with it. Later, he slipped out, and won't answer his phone. I have no idea where he is. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my boyfriend I was pregnant. He went outside for a "breather" and never came back. FML
Today, I got a call from my boyfriend's boss. She was wondering if he was okay, since he hasn't shown up to work for the past two weeks. Now I'm wondering where he's been going when he leaves the house each day. FML
Today, after not being able to sleep for two hours because my boyfriend wouldn't stop talking, he fell asleep and I was left wide awake. I listened to him snore for another three hours and only got a couple of hours sleep. He's not working today, but I am. FML
Today, my boyfriend is sulking because he actually thought two weeks paternity leave was going to be our new baby sleeping 18 hours a day while he played his Xbox, and get paid not to go to work every day. He was wrong, it’s been three days, and he’s exhausted already and whining. FML
Today, I got home after working 14 hours completely exhausted and found my wife asleep, after not sleeping for at least 4 nights with our newborn. She woke up and couldn’t remember where she'd left the baby. After a mad panic, she remembered that he's with her mother. We are not coping very well. FML
Today, my boyfriend left our bed at 6 a.m. to go upstairs and go back to bed with his son and soon to be ex-wife. I then had to ride in the backseat of a car for 6 hours while they talked and laughed. Not once has he asked if I'm okay or what's wrong. I've barely spoke all day. FML
Today, I tried to talk to my boyfriend about our communication problems. He fell asleep. FML
Today, my boyfriend had an appointment he had to wait months for, after he finally agreed to try to figure out what's making him so tired all the time. He slept through it. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over and dropped off my phone, which I'd left at his place the night before. He immediately left in a sulk. As I looked through my texts, I discovered he was only so moody because I hadn't answered any of his calls or messages. I'm dating an idiot. FML
Today, I called my boyfriend and asked if he wanted to come watch a movie. He seemed eager, until I said I needed the company because my period had started. He then went dead silent, waited a few seconds before starting to fake-snore, then hung up on me. FML

He dealt with it.

Don’t get me wrong, he should definitely not have run off with zero word of where he was and if or when he would be back. But was he right that he was exhausted? Had/has he been doing the bulk of the childcare/housework/labor recently where this was just the final straw? Could he have been sick or just hadn’t slept well last night so a nap would have actually helped him health-wise? And was it absolutely necessary to swear at him when evidently he was already spread thin?

She clearly doesn't give a damn about him, why should he update her about his location?

You deserve that. Like would it ******* kill your to watch YOUR child while he takes a small nap? that poor man

Fun fact : telling to someone to man up never actually solved any physical or psychology problem. You deserved it.

I need more context; who was watching the baby all day that day? You still shouldn't have said that to him.

Challenging him to "man up" made him think "dealing with babies is for the womenfolk." Men helping with babies is a relatively new concept among **** sapiens.

he went for milk and cigarettes

he probably left to get some sleep, and isn't answering because he is tired as ****. if you needed a nap or help with the baby, would you not ask for help? your lack of consideration and rude words are disrespectful to someone you are raising a child with, you should rethink how rude you treat people if you don't know how to handle someone being rude to you.

Nobody wants to be treated with toxic masculinity from a misogynist 🤦♂️ you have alot of apologizing to do to him.

We need more info here. Does he help with the baby at all? Does he deal with most if not all of the baby duties while you tend to other things (be it a job, housework, or personal time)? Have you asked for a break and been given one? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, you deserve him leaving like that. Your reaction was completely uncalled for. Now, if he was exhausted from doing absolutely nothing, it was warranted. We need to know why he was so exhausted and if he's pulling his weight with this baby. Same with you, for that matter.
