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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

I think it was pretty insensitive to go straight to talk of homelessness to your man when he just lost his job. He is worried enough. How about telling him everything will be fine and offering to step up some? Some men, not all, in a stressed position may have heard that because he lost his job now you may end up living in a box together, or you don't have faith in him. It's kind of like telling someone you would rather starve than have another cook for you when your food was burned. Not so much comfort. I say all this out of 14 years experience being with the same man. I try not to go down that train of thought with him right off the bat when bad things happen.

I'm pretty sure OPs boyfriend means he would rather be dead than living in a cardboard box, not that he would rather be dead than with OP. However I may be wrong, it's kind of ambiguous.

By dead he means that he want to afford a good life for u Don't take it in a negative way

Maybe he meant he'd rather be dead than without you, but that he'd rather be dead than in that lovely box. Have hope. :)

19 is right! This guy didn't want to hear "I'll stay with you even if you're a failure" (no wonder he reacted the way he did) We want to be shown "I think you're the most important man in the world" and nothing says that better than a bj.
