Today, I finally got up the courage to talk to my four-year boyfriend about how insecure I've been feeling in our relationship recently, and how I needed his support while I try to get my self-esteem back on-track. He fell asleep mid-conversation. FML

Sleepless in Longfield
Today, after not being able to sleep for two hours because my boyfriend wouldn't stop talking, he fell asleep and I was left wide awake. I listened to him snore for another three hours and only got a couple of hours sleep. He's not working today, but I am. FML

Today, I discovered that I sometimes talk in my sleep. After spending an amazing, perfectly romantic night with my boyfriend, I woke up to him telling me to leave. I have no idea what I could have said. He still won't talk to me. FML

Today, I had a nervous breakdown. My life has been going down the drain and I called my boyfriend for comfort. I was crying my eyes out, finally getting everything off of my chest that has been bothering me. I thought it was quiet because he was listening closely. I was wrong. He fell asleep. FML

Today, I was on the phone with my boyfriend for an hour listening to him talk about his new truck and his final exams. I literally did not say a single word. Just as I said, "Hey baby, guess what happened to me today?", he says, "Can I go to sleep? I'm too tired to guess. Night." FML

No time to lose
Today, I spoke to my girlfriend about how we don't spend enough time talking to each other, but she went on to tell me that we'll talk about it tomorrow because she wanted to sleep. FML

Today, my boyfriend came over to cheer me up after I'd had a sleepless night. He thought it would be a good time to propose. Unfortunately, it coincided with me yawning. FML

He is trying to communicate with you through his dreams. I think he is most likely a wizard from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Sounds like the "communications problems" are basically "I want my boyfriend to sit and attentively listen while I complain for an hour at a time." If he were part of the conversation, he wouldn't fall asleep.

He could have had the decency to try to participate, or at least tell her he was tired. At least OP is trying to fix the problem- he could help.

There is no use in trying to fix the relationship now. If he choses not to listen than he will never truly appreciate what you have to say. Saying goodbye would be so much easier now. Acceptable losses my friend.

I think we're being a bit harsh hear, especially when we don't know the girl. I've fallen asleep whilst talking to my girlfriend before, but that was solely because of the fact that I was tired from work. I wanted to talk to her, but slipped from consciousness. in other words, late night is a bad time to discuss communication problems ( or any problem ), and harsh judgement as a result from their combined mistakes is rather unfair.

To add on to what 49 said, OP might be boring as hell to talk to.

You should communicate a brick over his head.
