Today, after losing his job, I reassured my boyfriend by telling him I'd rather be with him living in a cardboard box than to be without him. He responded by telling me he'd rather be dead. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend brought up the time he said he'd love me until the day he died. He continued by saying, "So, let's just pretend I died today." FML
Today, I went to see my boyfriend with the intention of breaking up with him. Instead I discovered that he lost his job today and has to move back in with his parents. I can't bring myself to dump someone who's already crying about his horrible day. Now I have to comfort my soon-to-be ex. FML
Today, I had to choose between staying with my boyfriend and moving out to a better job. I chose my boyfriend. He promptly left me because I didn't take the job. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he wants to marry me and be the father of my children. Five minutes later, he told me he wants to experience death. FML
Today, in the same sentence, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to "spend the rest of his life with me," and "I want to break up with you because I can't face your family." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I love him. He replied by telling me to fuck off. FML
Today, my "boyfriend" told me that he loves money more than me and would date it if he could. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, right after I turned down an amazing job opportunity in another location, just so I could be with him. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years accidentally admitted to me that he settled for me because he doesn't think he can do any better. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, as he'd realised that life is really short, and he's got to enjoy with his friends. FML

I think he might still be a little angry about his job

His reaction isn't about you OP. He lost his job and can't provide like men believe they should so he's more likely to feel like a failure right now. Dont take it personally.

Ouch, that sucks. Maybe that was just the disappointment talking... Hopefully he didn't mean it :)

He's probably just a little heated from losing his job, I'm sure he didn't mean it

its fine. im in the same boat, my fiance lost his job in january. your boyfriend is probably just frustrated and upset right now. just let it roll off your back and just be there for him. in the offchance he really meant it, well thats a different story. good luck.

He might not have meant it. People say dumb things when they are stressed or mad. All you can do is just to be there for him for now!

Losing your job is extremely stressful. He is worrying about how he will keep his apartment/home, pay for food, utilities...etc Give him some space to collect his thoughts and then approach him afterwards. I hope he can find another job soon. I went thru the same thing last year. But thankfully found a better paying job. Good luck!

So he'd rather be dead than being homeless? If that's his mindset he better find something soon

i doubt he really meant that. but a lot of people feel inadequate, or like a failure if they dont have jobs. and if it just happened, hes probably freaking out, playing worst case scenario.

it's probably just the stress getting to him!

It's a blow to a guys ego when they lose their job. My husband of 30 yrs made a similar remark when he lost his job last year! He's back working & fine now. Just be supportive & it'll be okay!

Maybe he has self respect and wants to take care of you. I know my boyfriend would rather die than have me living in a cardboard box. This is no FML.
