Today, after a hard day's work and emotional argument with my best friend, I sent my boyfriend a text telling him how much I loved him and cherished him in the hopes he would cheer me up with a romantic reply. He said "Sorry, I've only got 8 texts left." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received a beautiful, heart-felt text from my boyfriend detailing all the ways he loved me. He probably should have emphasized just how big his heart is though because he sent the text to three other women too. Thank you, group messaging. FML
Today, I got in a fight with my boyfriend. I sent him a long message pouring my heart out about how hurt I am that he constantly ignores me or responds to almost everything I say in monosyllables. He texted back "ok". FML
Today, I sent my boyfriend a long and heartfelt message. He responded with "tl; dr". FML
Today, I confronted my boyfriend after he received a text with a bunch of hearts on it. After arguing, turns out it was from me. FML
Today, I sent my boyfriend a sweet text message, since he recently complained that I'm rarely romantic. Instead of being happy, he decided that since it's so out of character for me, I must be cheating on him and must have only sent it out of guilt. FML
Today, I spent two hours perfecting a really romantic text message to my boyfriend for our one year anniversary. I listed all the things I loved about him, and recalled some of our best times together. Two minutes after I sent it, he replied, "Huh?" FML
Today, I sent my boyfriend of over a year a text message telling him how much I loved him, how perfect he is for me and what I love about him. He sent me back a text saying, "I thought you had class." 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 was feeling really down, so I texted my boyfriend and asked him to tell me why he loves me, thinking he would cheer me up. His response? "Don't bug me with this stupid shit anymore. You always ask such dumb questions." FML
Today, my boyfriend of eight happy months suddenly broke up with me via text. He'd always insisted that texts were too impersonal. FML

In his defense, texts are like gold when they're limited

Wait...did he text you to tell you he only had 8 texts left?? Because if that's the case why couldn't he have just used that opportunity to cheer you up instead.

Why would he text you to say he was about to run out of texts?

Either way, the guy's an idiot. What he should have done is simple. He should have texted back something romantic to cheer her up, and then said, "By the way, I only have 8 texts left so please don't respond." Or something along those lines. He is a douche.

it's kind of silly that you wrote all of that in a text message... but the fact that all he had to reply to that, was his lack of text messages, which actually rids him of another "precious" text message... well, i find that completely jerk. he should have called you, in that case.

even my mom says that you should get rid of that jerk, because he's not a keeper. :)!

to everyone saying he was worried she'd continue the conversation: he couldn't just say "i love you too, but i'm sorry i have to stop texting"? that's far under 160 characters.

when someone has the chance to be "romantic" and doesn't, that doesn't mean they're a bad person, it just means they're not a "romantic" person. That's just like saying you're a bad person for not giving a poor person money (hypathetically), because u made the choice not to donate money does not make u a bad person, but giving him money would make u a good person. See where i'm going? just because someone has the opportunity to be a good person doesn't mean if they don't take it they're a bad person.

Yeah, I don't see why we needed to hear about this. I get 500 non-Verizon texts a month and when this one girl texts me, she never stops. I had 3000 texts last month. I now owe my mom $250 and I tell her every time she texts to stop because I STILL haven't paid off her last bout of verbal diarrhea. It gets really damn expensive when people don't know how to stop talking

couldn't he have just used that one?
