Today, I told my boyfriend I had to go out and that I'd be back later. He asked where I was going. "To see my other boyfriend," I chuckled, smiling. He took it seriously and wouldn't believe it was just a joke. I'm pretty sure I'm now single. FML

Today, I was shopping with my girlfriend, when I saw my best friend. I jokingly did a double-take and said I didn't recognize him with his clothes on. We laughed, talked a bit, then went our separate ways. My girlfriend later dumped me, claiming I'm blatantly gay and cheating on her. FML

It's all fun and games until somebody doesn't get the joke.

Youre going to have a bad time if your sense of humour is that incompatible with him. It might be for the best.

He'd have a shit time dating me; my boyfriend and me say stuff like this to each other all the time and tbh, it's never crossed my mind to take offence to it (or his, I don't think). If OP's boyfriend got that upset and paranoid about it, he might have something to hide himself...

Or maybe, like me, he has been cheated on before, and it is a sore subject. Just because we are offended and paranoid by such terrible jokes doesn't mean we are hiding something. And if you don't know your partner well enough to know what does or doesn't trigger them, then you don't deserve them

Oh please, I've been cheated on previously right in front of my eyes in a nightclub, but I don't act like a little bitch over an innocent joke with a current boyfriend. And trust me, if my boyfriend had a problem with something I did/said, he wouldn't pussyfoot around and he'd just tell me...I must be doing a decent job girlfriending if he's been with me 2 years. Take your heart off your sleeve.

Cheer up. When you find someone with a sense of humor and a minimum of self confidence, you'll laugh about the ass that lost you for no good reason.

You can't make jokes like that with sensitive little Pansy's

All the girls talking about how immature he is, maybe you should look at the girls posting on here breaking up with their bfs for much less

Why would you even say that? Even if it is a joke, it's a very dangerous thing to say. YDI.

What if he's just joking around as well? It turns out to be an elaborate joke.

Cheating isn't funny. Joking about it can make someone wonder if you really could be doing it. It may sound like he is being sensitive and insecure but who knows? Maybe OP's be has been cheated on before?

Best not to joke about cheating...you never know how the other person is going to take it, and depending on their dating history, it might be a horrible reminder.

Why are people saying here how it was obviously just a joke, but on the one where a guy was obviously joking with a friend (and she was snooping), it couldn't have been a joke and she should dump him. Double standard much?

Because betas will do anything to get a female to acknowledge them lmao.
