Today, I overheard a "friend" talking about me and my recently deceased dog. He said: "Only time I've seen someone get that upset over someone dying, they were fucking each other. Just sayin'." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I heard that my crush’s dog had died. For some reason, my first instinct when I saw him was to say, “Oh my god, I heard that your dog died!” He started crying. FML
Today, I overheard my girlfriend telling her friend, "Actually, it's a good thing she died, she was quite a bitch." She was talking about my mother. FML
Today, my 12 year-old dog died. My boyfriend's attempts to comfort me involved him muttering, "At least she knows how to play dead now." FML
Today, I heard my asshole neighbor had died of a stroke. I was outside and said, "Well it's about goddamn time!" I turned around to see his wife walking her dog and staring deep into my soul. FML
Today, while I was at work, I was on the verge of tears. My coworker asked what was wrong and I explained that I recently had to put my dog down. He then replied, "Cool story, bro. Tell it again." FML
Today, I made the mistake of telling my dentist that my dog died. She spent the next half-hour talking about her pets and how they died. I ended up crying in her dentist's chair. FML
Today, I went over to a guy's house for dinner. He ended up getting really drunk and started crying, telling me that I reminded him of his dead ferret. Distraught, he tearfully showed me her ashes. FML
Today, I was interviewing a potential candidate for a job opportunity. He started the conversation by saying that he was having a weird day because his friend just got married. To which I responded, “Oh, fun!” He'd actually said that his friend got murdered. FML
Today, I learned my ex-girlfriend has been going around to all of my friends and telling them that I wanted to fuck dead people. No wonder nobody has been talking to me for the past 3 months. FML
Today, I discovered that my boyfriend has been having an intimate text exchange with a woman. She's the grieving widow of his friend who died three weeks ago. FML

What an asshole, dogs and pets in general are basically best friends to the owners so I would be surprised if someone didn't get upset over theirs dying

She clearly doesn't understand what having a dog is like. You're not losing your pet, but your companion. You're losing your best friend and she clearly doesn't understand that.

If he's the sort of person to finish sentences with 'just sayin'' in real, actual life then you don't need his sympathy anyway, he sounds like a twit.

People will always have comments after having a pet pass away. We said goodbye to our dog of 14 years and it was easily one of the most painful experiences of my life. Some people just don't understand. I'm sorry to hear about your dog, OP. Sending lots of love! x

What if it was someone's Mom or Dad though? There's tons of people we love without "making love"

Your friend sounds like a sociopath.

That is cold hearted. Dogs are family members. And if his uneducated pea brain can't understand someone getting upset over a family member dying and not only caring about someone if they're having sex, that sucks for him.

Actually, many people mourn pets with more emotion than a human death because in a lot of ways, pets are seen as innocence. The loss of innocence is similar to a child's death, and it's one of the most painful experiences someone can endure

I had one year where I literally lost everything but the roof over my head. By the end of it I was in constant pain, living with undiagnosed PTSD, $20k in debt, suicidal, and had just left an abusive ex. The ONLY part of that timespan that I still can't even think about for too long without crying was suddenly losing my pet. Pets are like kids. Some days I almost prefer them to the people I meet. Anybody who thinks it's possible for one's death to matter too much to their owner has no idea what the **** they're talking about.
