I think cooking good dinners is better than being a crappy cook, nice work!

You have a boyfriend. Why were you depressed?

Enough with the woman jokes. Seriously at first i can take it,, but constantly bagging on a woman or whatever for her "being out of the kitchen" its getting old. Woman are alot more useful the people think they are people just like men. they arent kids that everyone treats like shit. They are useful human beings. and for all the guys who actually think like this. ill be laughing when your gf, wife, or whatever leaves you and you starve to death. becuas you wont cook on yl because you expect a girl to do it... bastards.

Okay. Not only is the premise full of bull - not everybody thinks you're useless if you BF isn't among them - but you don't even know how to take a compliment when you get one (assuming it's not a joke). Besides that, if it really mattered that much more than you're shattered ego, you might be able to find something "useful" to do with your life if you quit being such an emo all the time.

i do not understand how this is an fml. he obviously gave you a good quality, but yet your still bitching.

She said she's been severely depressed for several years, not that she has mental breakdowns every day. Depression is a bitch. It distorts your thinking. He boyfriend was inconsiderate, although hopefully trying to make her laugh, but there are some times people just can't take a joke- even if they usually can quite well. She's not "emo," if she actually is depressed. What she needs is therapy and medication, since it is a medical problem, not just a bad mood. OP- make sure you're getting the help/support you need, and try to find something that will make your life more meaningful. Pick up a hobby or join a class or something. Force yourself to feel better. Good luck :)

What he tried to say: "You're a good cook." What she made it out to be: "You're only good for making me food."

I'm sure he didn't mean it the way she took it, but seriously remember she had a mental breakdown...and I personally would've tried giving her a few more compliments so that it might be easier to understand that I meant that I don't think she's useless. Seeing as she just had a mental breakdown and all.

Oh everyone's depressed these days, doncha know?

I don't cook, my man does. so take that all you chauvinist pigs and make my lady ass a sammich!

Although honestly, she could be a really good cook and he thought he was honestly complimenting her. Most guys don't think, "I'll say this compliment because it's anti-feminist." Maybe he compliments guys on their cooking too.

Funny how many people like to diagnose themselves with 'severe' depression these days. Let me tell you something, 'severe' depression entails not even having the energy to get out of bed, not having the energy or will to do anything - including turning on your laptop and going on FML to moan about your boyfriend. Sorry to make assumptions but your boyfriend is probably used to your pity parties and doesn't want to feed it. It's an unhealthy way to live and annoying for the people around you. You need a good harsh reality check to make you see that you actually don't have it so bad, the world doesn't revolve around you and that you should be less self-centred than to throw around the terms 'severe depression' and 'mental breakdown'.
