Today, my boyfriend spent an hour lecturing me on how I need to ask for what I want. So I asked him to delete a crappy picture he'd taken of me the night before. His response: "No, you don't always get what you want." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I asked my boyfriend of several months to post a picture of us. He deleted his Facebook instead. FML
Today, my boyfriend was tidying up around the room. I asked him if he'd like me to help, to which he responded, "No, I don't need any help," then added, "Wish you weren't so lazy." FML
Today, my boyfriend informed me of how I had really hurt his feelings. Apparently, not wanting to be sent a photo of his poop is hurtful. FML
Today, I was talking to my boyfriend about our new year's resolutions. I started telling him that I wanted to lose some weight. He interrupted me, saying, "Yeah yeah, we all know you're fat, whatever." He then went on a 30 minute speech about how he'd really like to take more pictures of his cat in 2011. FML
Today, I sent a scantily clad pic to my boyfriend, to which he responded "Nice, but please clean your room". FML
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because I got a haircut without asking for his permission first. FML
Today, I realized just how spoiled and immature my boyfriend is when I asked him several times what he’d like for dinner. Getting no answer, I made steak, potatoes and salad. He then sulked and refused to eat it, since he wanted spaghetti and meatballs instead. FML
Today, my boyfriend used the "this isn't working, we need to talk" line on me. How nice of him to wait this long to do so, just days after we returned from the expensive Caribbean holiday that I paid for. FML
Today, my drunk boyfriend flipped out and told me I was a total control freak, and that he couldn't handle how weird and clingy I am. All I did was ask if his phone was charged. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Say that to him the next time he wants some ass. He sounds like a controlling bastard.

It sounds like a "Shut the **** up" would have been in line somewhere within that hour.

What a dumbass. I would never date a guy like that, and unless he changes, you should dump him.

Nah, he should dump her, she clearly isn't ready to be in a relationship yet. I've dated girls like OP before, who never ask for anything or show any sort of ambition or initiative. It gets pretty annoying. Equally annoying is people who ask someone to delete a picture off facebook. Just grow up and untag yourself.

And if OP wasn't referring to facebook, then she's got some serious self esteem issues. Either way, YDI.

I'm with twozero. I've dated a girl or two who were SO blatantly immature. They would be shy of everything, and wouldn't ask for anything of people because they would be afraid to hurt their feelings (on really ridiculous things) It sounds like the boyfriend was trying to help her, and that he doesn't want to delete pictures of her. How is that bad? Of course, it's also possible OP's boyfriend didn't mean it in a helpful way. The jerk.

So OZ, you think the girl is in the wrong here because she doesn't want to ask for anything? You don't believe the guy to be a jerk for telling her to ask, then basically punishing her for it? Tell me you've never taken a bad picture. Everyone has had at least one picture that they don't like. That doesn't mean they have self-esteem issues. OP, your boyfriend is a jerk. Don't let him treat you like that.

Communication is important. If OP wants something, she should ask for it. It's not fair to the guy to force him to guess what she wants. One of the funny parts of life is that you don't always get what you ask for. But if you don't even ask, it's even less likely to get what you want. Denying someone what they ask for isn't necessarily a punishment.

How the hell is he punishing her?? I could see if he already knew she wanted that and he was telling her to ask him to delete the picture and then denied her, but that doesn't seem to be what was written...

you such an idiot. telling her he is a jerk for telling her to communicate more. and because he won't delete a picture of her?! really I hope your boyfriend never takes a picture if you and doesn't care if you even talk to him. would that be better? wow!
P_to_the_AM 9
erm hellooo?! isn't it NORMAL to ask if you want something to happen, rather than demanding? I mean... the OP is the jerk here, since her bf had to tell her to be a little nicer and a little more polite. oh and I would have done the same with the picture thing. if OP is a bitch, I am a bitch and I won't delete the picture

Quit whining...it's just a damn picture!
Acousticpixie14 6
I don't like mine taken either, but damn... I protest once and that's it. Whining and bitching about it just irritates those around you. And honestly, most people just complain about it because they want attention.

He expects her to ask for what she wants, then tells her no when she finally does ask. Sounds like he's telling her that she should ask even though he won't give her what she wants. Many people are afraid to ask for things because they don't want to sound rude or demanding.

Jeeez, and here I was just thinking he was funny. If my boyfriend did that to me I'd probably laugh, but perhaps I'm just really bad at interpretating things?

Sucks to be you! That's what you get for trying to be nice. :(
ImaginaryFoe 1
How was OP trying to be nice? She sounds like a bleeding idiot and could possibly be an impolite one. OP, your bf is right and you should thank him. You'll never have decent relationships if you don't ask for what you want. Exhibit some personality, assertiveness, and security. You will also not have decent relationships if you think you should get something just because you ask. You have a lot of maturing to do if you don't even understand the concept of what he was saying.

You don't lecture your partner for an hour. This is not an insubordinate lackey. If she's that immature or incompatible, why are they together? If this is an indication of the dynamic of the relationship, he is a small man with low self-esteem who is attempting to boost his own by cutting down hers. Lecturing a bratty child is one thing, dating one is another... sick.

fucken sexist bastard. you're the reason for feminists.

79- You're an idiot. He meant that SHE should have told HER boyfriend to shut up.
ImaginaryFoe 1
In what way is his comment sexist? Even if he had meant for the bf to tell OP to shut up (which he clearly didn't), that is not sexist. If you don't know what feminism is, research it a bit before you go around advocating it. Causes don't need more misguided idiots.
