Today, I took my girlfriend to go see Les Misérables. I tried to stay tough but completely lost it and started sobbing when Anne Hathaway began singing. My girlfriend called me a wimp and stayed dry-eyed throughout the whole movie. I'm dating a robot. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, me and my girlfriend went and saw "The Blind Side." I sobbed throughout the entire movie. My girlfriend didn't shed a tear. FML
Today, I went on a date with the girl I like, to see The Fault In Our Stars. She didn't cry, but I did. Twice, hard. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I finally watched Toy Story 3; I ended up crying when the toys almost die. After the movie, my girlfriend broke up with me because I embarrassed her. FML
Today, I saw Les Misérables. I was singing along to one of the songs when the guy next to me dumped his soda over my head and told me to shut up. FML
Today, I watched Cast Away with my girlfriend after not seeing it for a year. I forgot how sad it was when Wilson "dies" at the end. I cried. My girlfriend told me to man up. FML
Today, a girl I've liked for months agreed to go to a movie. We were going to see Captain Marvel, but missed the show time, so we saw Five Feet Apart. Blessing in disguise, right? Wrong. She cried while holding my hand as she talked about how in love she is with another girl. FML
Today, I went to watch the Movie "UP." At one point in the movie I got really sad and started to cry a bit. The 7 year old girl next to me noticed and told me to shut and man up. FML
Miserable
Today, as an aspiring performer, I tried to practice crying on demand by singing "A Little Fall of Rain" and "On My Own" from Les Misérables. It was all going well, until my nose started running uncontrollably and no tears actually came out of my eyes. Maybe acting isn't for me. FML
Sensitive
Today, the girl I like came over to my house to watch a movie. We had seen pretty much every movie that I suggested, so we ended up watching The Lion King. I forgot how sad that movie is, because once Mufasa died I started bawling my eyes out. FML
Avatar II: Is Shite
Today, I took my girlfriend to see the new Avatar movie I’ve waited over 10 years to see. After it was over, she just said, "That was utter shite, why did you bring me here?" Entire experience ruined. FML

Sobbing is a bit much. Maybe a tear or two would have been okay.

You obviously have not seen the movie, or have no soul.
irateyou 9
I don't know.... I saw it and didn't feel compelled to cry at all. I mean, it was a good movie, but....
Carmstro 13
16 and 18, depends on the person. I shed a tear or two during Ted for christ sakes... It doesn't make you less of a person or more of a person to cry at a film, just quit shaming each other for expressing yourselves differently!
irateyou 9
I wasn't shaming. I was just saying a person is not souless just because he/she didn't cry at the movie.
TrueTriage 16
Are you kidding the way the small kid dies and Anne Hathaway falling to prostitution because of her great love for her daughter? If anything it is moving to see the lengths she went to! I'm a totally Hetero dude, saw it with a bunch of friends and teared up a bit in a few scenes. Especially when all the kids sing the wine of friendship then die the next day! That was rough

I saw the first move play and the latest movie. None made me feel the need to cry or shed a tear. It's moving yes, but I think it's silly to cry over a movie. Guess I have no soul.

It is an exaggeration to say that the girlfriend has no soul, just as she was exaggerating when she called the OP a wimp for crying. That was pretty mean of her, though. For me, I didn't cry when Bambi's mom died, or when the Enterprise was destroyed, and I didn't cry during this movie. Does that mean it didn't affect me? No, not at all. I just usually don't cry during movies or TV shows at all. In fact, I can only think of ONE time I did: United 93. And that time, I totally lost it. To the OP: if she offended you that much, you should explain how you felt and maybe ask for an apology. If she does nothing, THEN you can call her a robot. That

Crying is cool and all, but if you're gonna do it in public, try laughing as you do it. You can just pass it off as manly tears. You won't get any of those weird stares...
jesustitts 20
I haven't seen this movie yet but I have watched the Rugrats Paris movie and I cry every time they show Chuckie on the plane wishing he had a mom still and showing all the babies with their moms. I don't know if it's the song or just the fear of losing my own mom but it gets me every single time. Crying over movies isn't stupid and people making fun of each other when they do it isn't cool, some people are more emotional than others.
imavelociraptor 6
66- That shit is emotional! I love the song in that movie though :) I feel so bad for chucky...
peppermintpink 11
I haven't seen the movie... but judging by other's comments, I can bet I will cry... the most I've cried during a movie is while watching "My Sister's Keeper" I was actually inconsolable...
tylahgrace 12
hey 33 cheers for the spoiler -_-
chlorinegreen 27
Geez 33 some people haven't seen the movie. SPOILER ALERT!!
5sonic 22
82 and 88. I'm surprised you haven't heard anything about the plot yet. It was a famous musical for many years, and a book before hand. Also everyone knew the movie was gonna be big, so you should expect spoilers.
Sputnikspak 13
The book came out in 1862, the musical 32 years ago, and you're whining about spoilers? It's like being angry at being spoiled for Titanic because the boat sinks at the end. It doesn't exactly count as spoilers when the story has been around 150 years.
SaveCowEatCarrot 14
Sobbing is never too much when it's Les Mis. The first time I saw it I broke down completely (the stage show, not the film)...
BookWorm13 3
Even by my closest friends I've been called a "robot" for not crying at something. Does that make me less of a human? No. Maybe she just doesn't show emotion on the outside. Calling someone a robot is a bit extreme. I don't even know how this is an fml because if it bugs him so much just tell her or break up with her or just forget about it.
Peacelove0404 26
When I saw Les Misérables, I cried when the little boy died and when Eponine died. At the end, I was sobbing because it was so sad but sweet
hutch66 13
I cried like a little bitch and I'm not ashamed. I don't think crying at movies is a bad thing, it just shows that your really into it emotionally.
darth_luke 8
I've honestly heard about the movie and book and everything but I've never read anything about the plot I was planning on seeing it, but that spoiler honesty wasn't needed..
insertnameherr 11
I've seen the show and the original movies so many times that it's safe to say that I'm immune to emotion.
klutz44 28
61 - That probably wouldn't go over so well while watching Les Mis.
Lacist 19
"SPOILER ALERT" Too late? Yeah..
stargazur 9
My dad laughed at me for losing it when I saw the movie, it was the hardest I've ever cried during a movie. With Fontine and Gaverosh... It was too much to take

I wouldn't say she's a robot...but you are definitely a bit of a wimp if you "lost it"...YDI for sure.

I don't know, Anne Hathaway is a great actress. I don't blame him.

I don't think it's a bad thing to get emotional over something that was supposed to be emotional. If the right strings get pulled, sometimes it's impossible to stop yourself from full out sobbing. That being said, it's not necessarily bad if a certain movie doesn't make you cry either, but I don't think it was right of the girlfriend to make him feel bad.
oj101 33
I physically cannot cry, and haven't done for at least 5 years, but LesMis actually caused me to shed a few tears during the scene where Jean ValJean was dying, with Fantine and Eponine on his side.
doubleddun 9
Umm spoiler, come on
Trix_Disorder 20
oj - Spoilers aside, I think you're confused; Eponine is not there when he passes on. He doesn't even know who she is. :/
SuxForUButtmunch 2
Actually in the original, eponine is there when he dies. Oj could be talking about the stage production
Trix_Disorder 20
I assumed they were not, considering we're talking about the movie. I have been in a theatrical production.

#6- "YDI" are you serious??? What, people can't cry in public anymore without being made fun of? Especially if you're a man? (to #61) There's certainly nothing wrong with emotional relief. Everyone does it.
irateyou 9
Wow. You better never try to watch Marley and Me.
SuperDanielNL 23
Nah, the overly melodramatic ruins it, it's just too much at the end. You can really see they try to get you to cry, and I don't like that. If something is truely beautifull or sad, you'll cry. For instance the ending of the Shawshank Redemption, I cried.
SuperDanielNL 23
Nah, I don't like the overly melodramatic music at the end, that kinda ruins it. They try too hard to make you cry and personally I dislike that.
irateyou 9
I see your point. Perhaps "Bambi" would have been a better referrence?
SuperDanielNL 23
Never seen it, didn't have much of a childhood I guess. I also never saw the lion king. From what I've heard that's pretty rough.
irateyou 9
I've actually never seen Bambi either, but you should sit down and give Lion King a try. You will have no regrets.
gracehi 33
YOU'VE NEVER SWEDEN BAMBI???
gracehi 33
I'm sorry. Of course you've never "SWEDEN" Bambi. Ducking Swype. What I MEANT to say was, "YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BAMBI???"
SuperDanielNL 23
Norway I could have missed it but I did.
jesustitts 20
Watch the Rugrats movie when they go to Paris. If you're like me you'll cry during the airplane scene where Chuckie is sad because he doesn't have a mom and all the other kids are snuggled with theirs and he's looking our the window seeing clouds that look like him and his mom. It's pretty sad. Gets me every time. Marley and Me, yea I didn't cry. The movie wasn't really that good anyway.
SuperDanielNL 23
Perhaps I'll czech it out...
andyyroxx 20
You have me Russian to the DVD store.
SuperDanielNL 23
Bring some popcorn cuz I am hungary
perdix 31
#89, avoid movie theater popcorn -- it's got too much Greece. Get some Chile instead. I love dogs, but I grew to hate Marley by the end of that movie. I clapped when that son of a bitch died!
SuperDanielNL 23
I don't like greece bhutan I have to run to another store.
perdix 31
#110, you don't have time, the movie's about to start, get Djibouti in your seat!
SuperDanielNL 23
Always a Spain in the ass.

Perdix (96) You wouldn't Belize how much of the story the Marley and Me movie cut out; the dog in the movie was a shit, but the real dog (from the book) had redeeming qualities. :-)

Marly and Me wasn't that sad especially compared to les miserables
zandalee 20
Get Watership Down out. Is soooo sad. An oldie but a goodie!
EpicSquishii 21
She's not a robot for not crying when Anne Hathaway sings. You're a marshmallow for sobbing like a little girl at a Justin Bieber concert
xXxIracebethxXx 14
So you've witness little girls sobbing at Justin Beiber concerts? Interesting...
EpicSquishii 21
You've obviously never seen commercials or previews that feature footage for his concerts. It's not that interesting, I assure you.
myFMLname 8
Some people just react differently in situations like this, she may think its awkward to see people around her crying. She may even be like that guy from an FML post awhile ago about not crying In years, and losing it at a hallmark commercial.
little_sailor 8
I don't blame you, OP. I tried to stay strong but she's such a wonderful actress and I've always been partial to Fantine. I cried as well. :/
