Today, I had a mental breakdown after going through severe depression for several years. I told my boyfriend that everybody thinks I'm useless, to which he replied, "No you're not. You cook me good dinners." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend told me that he feels empty inside when I'm not in the kitchen. This is the most romantic thing he has said to me in the past two years. FML
Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend of nine months that depression runs in my family and I think the reason I've been flipping shit so much lately may be that I am depressed. Not five minutes later he decided a break would be "the best thing for us right now." FML
Today, I admitted to my boyfriend of three years that I have been suffering from depression for a while now. He took it as a good time to dump me. FML
Today, my boyfriend, who is supposed to protect me from murderers and rapists, had an emotional breakdown because he was so excited that I'd cooked french fries for dinner. FML
Today, my fiancé yelled at me after I got off the phone with my friends, because I said I hadn't felt this happy and hadn't laughed this much in a long time. He was also mad that I didn't cook him dinner. He didn't ask me to cook dinner for him. He then told me to go somewhere else if I'm not happy with him. FML
Today, I told to my girlfriend of 5 years that I'm depressed about having no friends, no job and a difficult family life. I told her that she's the one constant that keeps me going. She decided this was a good time to break up with me to "find" herself, since I was being so mopey. FML
Today, I was talking to my boyfriend, feeling pretty low. I said something along the lines of, "You like me even when I look like shit." He replied, "Ah, that's just how you naturally look." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. I said that at least I was always there for him when he needed me. He said "When did I need you?" FML
Today, my boyfriend called and asked me why I love him. I told him because he's always there for me and continues to put up with my bipolar disorder. He promptly said "not anymore" and hung up. FML

Maybe he was trying to make you smile? My man cracks jokes like that when I'm depressed, then goes "Made ya laugh!" and it helps.

okay, so the whole being depressed thing sucks a lot, but like everyone else said it really sounds like he's giving you a compliment by saying you cook him good dinners. since i am a terrible cook i'd totally accept that. sure, he could have said a lot more about your worth, but it sounds like he was also trying to be funny. and come on, you have a boyfriend while so many people can't find one! be appreciative that he hasn't left you and cares enough about you to stick by your side through your depression. it's the little things that count...you don't need a million friends to be happy because most of them will not be there through thick and thin anyway.

WOW. Everyone saying he's trying to give her a compliment, honestly? There's so many comments on this site that are telling people to be grateful for really crappy things like this. He's NOT giving her a compliment, he's telling her that all she's worth is good cooking. Why is it so hard to just feel bad for OP rather than bitch about how great she has it.

Um thats dumb he gave you a compliment to the statement of you being useless, a good cook is exactly that a good cook hence not being useless,

Well that's what you're main purpose is...besides sex. Why did the woman cross the road? Who cares, what's she doing out of the kitchen?
