Today, my girlfriend tearfully complained that I was smothering her to death with my clinginess, and that I should learn to respect her boundaries. This is after she complained I wasn't giving her enough attention. FML

Today, my girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me because she said I was more of a woman than she was. I yelled out, "I HATE YOU!" and started to cry. She then took a tampon out of her purse, handed it to me, laughed, and walked away. FML

Let me out of here
Today, I decided to break up with my girlfriend. I sat her down and gave her the speech. She broke down in tears and said, “Why does every guy always abandon me? Why am I never good enough?” I felt so bad for her that I took back the breakup and we’re still together now. FML

Today, I was snuggling in bed with my girlfriend. She was depressed, so I complimented her strong legs, saying they were "like a horse." I spent the next hour and a half trying to stop her crying. FML

Today, I spilled my guts to my girlfriend, saying I'm scared that all I do is upset her. I then had to sit through a speech about how upset she was that I hadn't told her sooner. FML

Your girlfriend seems like a bitch. Tell her to go find a sweaty lumberjack, then go find a girl who actually respects you. >:T

it would've been alot better if you took the 'overly-sensitive male' aspect (that seems to have become all the rage with this wacky, younger generation) & jumped straight to becoming emotionally unstable & killing yourself rather than waste all that time on crying.

That's not your fault. It is nearly impossible to change your personality once you're an adult... but maybe, I dunno, improve your self-esteem?

Crying doesn't mean that you are a wimp and not manly. The only difference between you and what people claim to be 'real men' is that you can cry in public - something that needs more courage than crying private.

yeah being manly stems out of self esteem. crying because she said that really? its all on your perception of the situation so change how you look at things. and stop being a little girl

Am I the only one who noticed this is extremely similar to a previous FML??

I'm pretty sure I know the one you're talking about. The guy started shouting at his girlfriend in an effort to prove he was "all man", and started crying? Yeah. I thought of that the moment I read this FML.

No, the one I'm thinking of went 'Today I asked my boyfriend to try and man up a bit. He started crying. FML.' but I dont think I've read the one you're referring to.

I don't know why it's a crime for guys to cry. I just have to say, some think crying is a sign of weakness. But since birth it has always been a sign you're alive.
