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?

Have you asked him if he likes to be sung to?

I'd definitely be annoyed if anyone was singing at me on Skype and mute them too.

It's weird to sing to someone, it's a personal thing and just because you love to do it doesn't mean you are good. It could be, that singing to someone is seen a deeply personal thing and it makes him feel uneasy not being able to show it back in an artistic way. Also, a lot of guys are kinda dicks in that way. Best option is just don't do it unless you know for sure they'd appreciate it.

They've probably seen and touched each other's genitals. I highly doubt singing is too intimate a thing for a couple to do in front of each other, he probably just doesn't like her singing voice.

I would mute singing too, it's just annoying unless you were asked to do it. There's a girl in my gaming group who sometimes raps on Vent, insta-mute. It's very distracting.

I think you need one maybe two things. Definatly a new bf (can't be mature enough to talk to you about it...) and secondly perhaps some singing lessons....just saying

I find it really awkward when people sing to me, idk why, I just do. So maybe he feels the same way. Or maybe he doesn't think you have a nice voice. As bad as that may seem. But at least he was being somewhat nice and not telling you to your face "your singing sucks, stop".

Or maybe ask if he wants to listen next time? Even if someone is good at singing, it doesn't mean I want to listen to them over and over again. If this has happened multiple times it sounds like OPs just singing for no particular reason and her boyfriend doesn't want to listen to her but doesn't have the heart to say :)

Instead of possibly hurting your feelings he was just improvising :)

Some computers don't have that echo. When I'm on Skype with people, my computer doesn't play back any of the sounds to the other person. I could play a YouTube video or music off of iTunes and it still won't be able to be heard by them. Try asking him about it.
