Today, my boyfriend found out about my severe phobia of moths. It's so bad that I sometimes pass out. He caught a moth in a jar, and put it on my bedside table. I woke up, saw it, and had a panic attack. He recorded it all and wants to upload it to YouTube. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my family decided it would be hilarious to catch the biggest moths they could and let them loose in my room. I'm terrified of moths and they thought it would be "funny as hell" to watch me freak out. FML
Today, my boyfriend snuck into my house and hid in my closet. Knowing that I have a phobia of people jumping out of closets, he nonetheless thought it would be funny to see how I'd react. I had a panic attack and was taken to the hospital. FML
Today, I got up and started getting ready for work. As I entered the bathroom, I noticed a moth in the shower. Feeling generous, I caught the moth in a cup and took it to the front porch. I released the moth and watched it fly away… into a giant spider and its web. FML
Today, there's a moth in my house, who either does nothing, or flies around like it just ate enough sugar for one lifetime. Every time I see it, I think it's a wasp and, being deathly afraid of them, I go into a full-blown panic attack until the sight of it bumping into light bulbs brings me back to reality. FML
Today, when I took a nap on the couch, a spider crawled into my mouth. How do I know? My boyfriend filmed it and laughed. FML
Today, the guy I'm dating found out I have severe arachnophobia. He downloaded a picture of a huge, hairy spider and set it as background on my iPhone. I can't even unlock my phone, as every time I try, the spider pops up and I drop the phone. He laughs every time I do it. FML
Today, I woke up after a long night of trying to catch a moth. I'd knocked down furniture and screamed up the house to do so, but I finally got it. What did I see first thing this morning? Another moth. FML
Today, I was taken to my first session with my psychiatrist. The entirety of the facility, from the waiting room to the doc's office was decorated with dead butterflies in glass. I was there for my crippling mottephobia, the irrational fear of moths and butterflies. FML
Today, I’m still recovering from last night. I fell asleep before my boyfriend. He thought it would be funny to stand at the bottom of the bed with a knife and wake me up. I screamed so much that I wet myself and had a panic attack. He recorded the whole thing. FML
Today, I finally told my boyfriend that I see a therapist every week because, amongst other things, I'm terrified of being locked in a room. He didn't believe me, so he locked me in the bathroom "for a laugh." I had a panic attack and passed out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Next week on cops we follow officer Johnson as he releases a moth from a jar and talks sternly to the man that put it there!

I always choose YDI on these types of FMLs. YOU are CHOOSING to date someone who is so much of a jerk that he confronts you with your phobia, and even worse is going to upload it to embarrass you.

i would like to formally apologize on behalf of all men and say on record that not all of us are total jackasses.

You need to find a way to delete the video and then break up with him. Actual legitimate phobias are nothing to **** around with. I have severe spectrophobia to the point that I either got rid of or covered up every single mirror in my apartment, and if I woke up with a mirror in my face I would probably beat the shit out of the person that did it. Stuff like that just isn't funny.

In your boyfriend's defense....It's a moth.....I seriously doubt he'd put anything that could ACTUALLY hurt you anywhere near you.

He's YOUR boyfriend. Don't tell me he JUST started acting like an ass! You stuck with him so I GUESS you got what you wanted! Now live with it.

Buy him a gift wrapped copy of "fatal attraction" with a plush rabbit.
