Today, while I was working my shift at the store, my girlfriend appeared and asked to talk to me. Once we were alone, she burst into tears and started sobbing. Turns out someone's dad died in her favorite TV show and she wanted some comfort. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked in on my mom drenched in tears, barely able to speak. I ran to get her some tissues and a nice cup of tea to calm her down. After a few minutes of sitting in silence, I asked her if she wanted to talk about what happened. She watched an episode of Gossip Girl. FML
Today, my coworker said that she suddenly got the shivers. I jokingly told her that it meant she must be being watched by a dead person and made stupid ghost noises. She then told me it was the anniversary of her dad's death and burst into tears. FML
Today, I was trying to get drama students to attempt to make themselves cry. I was not having any luck, until suddenly a girl burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. I jumped up to applaud, saying what a wonderful thing it is to have such expressive kids. Turns out her grandma just died. FML
Today, I was rushed to the hospital because I was crying so hard I couldn't breathe. Why was I crying? My favorite anime character died. FML
Today, my girlfriend got into a huge fight with her mom over the phone. After the fight, she looked ready to cry so I went over to comfort her. She went straight past me, and started confiding in her creepy, extremely expensive dolls instead. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for a romantic dinner, since we can't see each other this Valentine's Day. Halfway through, my aunt called, telling me my grandma had died. I had to leave because I was crying so much, leaving my girlfriend with a very pricey bill. FML
Today, I went into work and noticed one of my fellow colleagues had a large bunch of flowers on her desk. As soon as I saw her, I immediately said, "Happy Birthday!" Everyone went quiet. It wasn't her birthday; her father had died. FML
Today, my girlfriend is on her period. She hugged me, crying because she was going to miss me. Where was I going? To the store down the street and back. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me by text for another man while I was at work. While I worked the drive-thru, a customer noticed me choking back my tears and said "I'd be cryin' too if I worked your dead-end job." FML
Today, my girlfriend whom I'm crazy about broke up with me out of the blue. After pleading with her unsuccessfully, I called my mom for comfort and advice. She informed me that my dog had died. FML

You're telling me that you have NEVER cried at a movie or tv death?

Then give her comfort, OP. If you can't give such a small thing, what good are you as a boyfriend? Or are you just in it for the sex?

Both my husband and I cried our eyes out at the death scene in the movie The Descendants. But i think that was probably more to do with telling her daughter. Even so, maybe she was hormonal? hmmm with hormones comes pregnancy???

A fangirl's life is a hard one. Never doubt that.

Let's see, I cried when Alaric "died" in the Vampire Diaries, I cried when Snape died in Harry Potter, I cried when *spoiler alert for hunger games movie fans* Finnick died in Mockingjay, when the dog died in Marley & Me... don't blame her for getting attached to a character, we all do it.

No need to cry over Alaric. He's still alive and well in the books and with Meredith ;)

Well, you're lucky you aren't dating a Sherlockian if you get upset about that. Don't look down on those of us with show obsessions.

What's the FML? You're girlfriend told you something she cares about and you complain about it?

It's normal to cry if emotions overwhelm you during a movie or TV series episode. However, it shouldn't get to the level where you need comfort. YLS, and your girl needs help

1) TXT language/Idiot speak is forbidden here. 2) You are a Dick. When someone is at an emotional state, like the girlfriend in the FML, you comfort her, not abuse her to get yourself sexually pleased. It's a good thing I understand Idiotese. **** off, asshole.
