Today, I realized why I never hear my voice echoing when I sing to my boyfriend on Skype; he just mutes me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was singing in a terrible voice on purpose during a Zoom call from school, thinking I was on mute. I carried on, until a message saying, "The host has muted you" appeared on my screen. FML
Today, I noticed that my girlfriend has a deeper voice than I do. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend he is good at singing. Now he won't stop. FML
Today, my friend was confiding all her problems to me over Skype. I pressed the mute button so I could let out a fart, forgetting I'd already muted it earlier. I broke several minutes of my own silence with a devastating wet one. Now she won't talk to me. FML
Today, I was having a heated argument with my boyfriend over the phone. Mid-sentence, I yelled, “You never listen to me!” Alexa, from across the room, replied, “I’m listening.” My boyfriend started laughing so hard that he hung up. FML
Today, my boyfriend was having a really bad day, so I decided to call him and try to calm him down. At one point, I thought it would be sweet to sing him a song since he claimed to love my voice. Before I could get half way through, he told me to shut up because I was getting on his nerves and just making things worse. FML
Today, my roommate eavesdropped on me singing. When I realized he was there, he said I was "fucking incredible" and asked me to do another song. There's just one issue: I only sing well when I'm alone. The result was predictably bad. If it was possible to literally die of embarrassment, I wouldn't be writing this. FML
Today, after I had watched a few videos of myself, I realized the sound of my own voice is the single most annoying thing I have ever heard. FML
Today, I butt-dialed my ex-boyfriend while venting to my best friend about how hot but emotionally unavailable he is. I realized this when there was a lull in the conversation and I heard his tinny little voice coming out of the phone, saying, "I can hear you." FML
Today, I discovered my boyfriend listens way better in his sleep than he does when he's awake. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I mute anyone that starts singing unless I've asked them to. Well the first time it's okay, but after repeating the same line for the last 5 minutes, they're being muted or hung up on if they don't stop when asked. OP's bf could at least ask.

That was a pretty long winded comment *mute* love you more babe!

I'm a professional. I asked him about it later, he said he just wanted to hear the instructions for the mission he was doing in GTA. - OP.

#46 But you said you "never" hear yourself echo on Skype when you sing and that he just "mutes you." So the way it's worded, it sounds like it's happened multiple times. Has it, or is that just how you worded it?

#50, hate to break it to ya but that's not OP, don't know why he or she is acting like they are though

Don't Skype him anymore. He's not worth your time
maffy11 16
Please, could you imagine how annoying that would be?!
coming back in the future 30
#4 Op should totally dump him *sarcasm*.
JayGatsby 25
Actually I think it's kinda cute that OP's boyfriend didn't have the heart to tell her that she was bad at singing, I mean sure it sucks for OP to find out that way, but it's still sorta sweet that he really cared about her feelings.

#28 While I do get what you're saying, and agree with you to a certain degree, I think that you should always be truthful to your significant other. Trying to be sweet by lying to them is kinda shitty.
AlaskanG 27
#34, he didn't lie to her. He just didn't say anything.
Cass_x 22
#39, withholding the truth is also a way of lying imo :/

#39 a lie of omission is still a lie.
devildog562 33
If guys always said how a girl looked in a dress, few of us would ever get laid. Sometimes omissions are a necessary part of relationship. Good comes with bad and you have to accept compromise. This all being said I kind of think it's a you deserve it because really no one wants to hear someone sing on skype all the time, especially if you're a bad singer.
aruam365 24
I don't think you know what a lie of omission is. It's not a lie of omission when a man says a woman looks nice when she doesn't, that's more of a white lie. There is an aspect you're omitting but since you're making up the truth with a lie, it's no longer a lie of omission. If you said nothing at all, technically it could be considered a lie of omission. I agree with the second part though, it would be incredibly annoying for someone sing on skype.
devildog562 33
No, I believe I know what a lie by omission is. I also have said my piece. White lie, lie by omission, pr any other type is all the same. It's just dumb to assume people don't "lie". Pick and choose your battles was my point. Ignorance plays no part in my comment. However the rest of your comment is appreciated and agreeable in my opinion:
JayGatsby 25
#34, don't get me wrong, I completely agree with you. I didn't mean to come across saying that OP's boyfriend is totally in the clear, because after all, like you're saying, a relationship is about being truthful and open to each other. I just don't think that he's a complete douche bag like other comments are saying because I don't think that OP's boyfriend was intentionally try to hurt OP.
devildog562 33
That was the premise of my argument. The only issue I was correcting was that you said maybe I don't understand something. No harm no foul. I was simply explaining I do. I promise not to lose sleep based on anything anyone says. I'm really hard to offend. I like debates and a little shit talking, but be warned of I feel I'm right I'll defend it. To each their own. :)

Opportunity to cuss him out lady
laden_swallow09 35
Oh, suuuure. That's REEEEEAL classy. Listening to some cavewoman spew more obscenities than a sailor sets my heart ablaze every single time! Yeah, ablaze, like eating too much sriracha.
kerstileann 26
For what?! That would make you an enormous bitch! He doesnt want to listen he shouldnt have to listen! What if he asked her to not sing but she wouldnt listen? Would you want him to cuss her out? Nooo because then he'd be and emotionally abusive asshole who op needs to dump. Back on topic: I for one hate when people sing, so i'd mute her too.
SuperMew 22
Have you asked him if he likes to be sung to?

Except, yknow, I am.

If you where OP then your messages would be in blue and we wouldn't be able to like or dislike them -_-

Sorry if I made spelling mistakes, I am about to pass out

He should have just told you nicely. Learning on your own is worse than being told. Cowardly on his part, keeping his thoughts from you, no?
Stephencharis 14
break up???....that's about the only thing you guys do in the west....SMH

What?

Here come comments from people saying "leave him" and "he's not worth your time". Would you seriously break off a relationship because of something like this?
Jinxsie 27
I agree. I mean I would be hurt that he couldn't just tell me but I wouldn't dump him over that. There's way worse reasons to dump someone.

People are too sensitive.
