Today, I found out my girlfriend starts fights with me over text because apparently, when I'm arguing with someone, I stop speaking in "annoying shorthand" and am grammatically correct. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend berated me for my "lack of communication skills", all while deeply engrossed with something on her phone. FML
Today, my girlfriend confronted me for forgetting to take the trash out. At some point during the argument, I tried to calm her down, and the words "I should of" escaped my lips. She spent the next ten minutes calling me stupid and laughing at how my grammar goes to hell when I'm distressed. FML
Today, my caring way too much about proper grammar got out of hand when I corrected my girlfriend during a talk about her dying grandmother. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I agreed to weekly talks about anything that is bothering us, since we’ve been arguing a lot lately. So far, every talk has been her moaning at me about how I annoy her, yet when I try to have my say, she interrupts or yells at me for blaming her for our problems. FML
Today, my girlfriend has yelled at me multiple times for saying sorry too much. It's involuntary, due to me constantly being told I never do anything right growing up by my parents. She knows this, and is even then one who helped me realize this, and still yells at me for it. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I had an argument. She admitted she didn't know why she was pissed at me, but still is, and now she won't talk to me. FML
Today, I noticed that my girlfriend only texts me when she needs help with her homework. FML
Today, I had a massive argument with my boyfriend, in which he called me stupid repeatedly. I stomped out of his house and sent a very angry text to my best friend about him. She didn't text back. Then my boyfriend texted, "My girlfriend is so stupid, she can't even text the right number." FML
Today, my girlfriend snapped at me for being lazy and incompetent, and declared that if I was going to behave like a child, she would be treating me like one. This includes safety-proofing the house, talking to me like a 3-year-old and slapping me with a wooden spoon when I do something wrong. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were arguing. I told her that "same" and "similar" were two different words that meant two different things. She said, "I don't know about that, let me research it." This is the level of, "I always need to be right" that I deal with every day. I need to end things, for both of our sakes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

No, it's actually really smart.

I don't know about crazy. I can't stand shorthand texting. It just seems lazy. And if this was her solution to OP's annoying short hand, so be it.

Op's bird sounds like a grammar nazi! *random person on fml writes ur instead of you're. Girlfriend comes along and yells NEIN, NEIN, NEIN, NEIN, NEIN*
Bobissmall 13
Lazy? How. When texts have limits on how much you can put in, short hand is saving money.
mommapanda 0
Most cell phone services offer free, unlimited texting in most plans. There's still the issue of a limit on the characters, but this results in more "pages" of texts.
zoPwNAgEzo 21
So it's smart to constantly argue and fight with your boyfriend rather than asking him to stop texting like that? Hmm, interesting.

She coulda confronted you unless she liked arguing lol

I do the exact same thing i start having perfect grammer and correct others... When people argue with me they laugh at it... I feel sorry for you.
Bobissmall 13
I also use perfect spelling and grammar when in an argument, but if they pointed it out I'd relax and thank them, saying they can not correct me from then on. It's just annoying when they don't have a come back so they decide to correct you.

Bitches be trippin
littlegold 7
We should correct them! It isn't our fault they can't speak! It isn't annoying it is the proper thing to do! If they don't understand how to use the English language, that is a problem.

If that's what it takes for her to feel like she's dating someone that isn't stupid, so be it.

Direct your girlfriend to FML.com. There's tons of grammatically incorrect people on here for her to correct.

Gud thing i no my gramar and speling
Llamacod 11
Presuming I am reading the fml correctly, you have the wrong idea about the girlfriend. She doesn't like to correct him, she is sick of his shorthand and likes when he doesn't do that.
FYLDeep 26
I just checked FML.com. Apparently it's operated by Finite Matters Ltd., so I really don't see why you would want her to go on there.
Zoranius 6
Won't she see this FML and scream at him? BAD idea!!

She couldn't prove it was him, though.

Isn't she complaining about him not speaking in annoying short hand? So she would be wrong?
Roevera 14
Amen! seriously.. we even have auto correct now to freaking spell the damn word out for us. I mean, I even attempt to spell a word wrong and my phone ***** bricks because it can't find it in the English dictionary.

But it is kind of ridiculous to start fights so you don't have to see it. Perhaps she should just ask him to stop.

T9. Win win situation. You get to be lazy with your typing, she gets to read a whole word.
iamyourgod 3
T9 doesnt bad solve. grammar
rallets 23
i dont even use T at all. its too mainstream
AmbrosiaWriter 17
@36 - You do realize that when using T9 it uses the most common word for the combination you put in, and if it is the incorrect word you just hit "0" to cycle through the other words that match your key combination. Learn to use it properly before you go off on how it sucks.
SecretMe00 5
I personally love T9 because I don't always like texting the whole word out. Call me lazy but as long as I get my point across and the receiver understands what I'm trying to say then it's all good..
tj4234 36
this reminds me of my best friend. Except that she doesn't start fights with people to correct their grammar...
LadyCarter89 6
Stupidest reason to start a fight! And fighting via text message?? She sounds really immature - FYL
KunoKanashimi 3
...Did you even read the FML? There would literally be no point of fighting at all if it were in person. She just doesn't want to have to use a freaking decoder just to speak to OP. Besides, speaking in shorthand is annoying and stupid as hell.

Since when is speaking grammatically correct a mind game? Someone told me that I sound like an old man because I actually use proper words!

I'd rather sound like an old person than an incompetent fool.

184: I totally agree! Besides, lol looks like a drowning person to me.

I've never noticed that. Now I'm going to think about people drowning every time someone says it. One of my few fears. Oh, well. I'll manage. :)

I probably should not have mentioned the "lol" part... Sorry!
