Are you listening?

By littlemissignored - 02/09/2009 19:17 - United States

Today, I was having lunch with my boyfriend and talking about how stressed out I've been because of my job. While I'm speaking, he pulls out his phone and says his boss is texting him and it was important. There was a game of Tetris reflecting onto his glasses from his phone. FML

FYL for dating someone who doesn't play Pacman instead.

Glasses, tetris, and a lame ass dick lie. Yup, sounds like a nerd waiting to be dumped to me.

LOL. Nahh. Don't dump him, some guys just don't listen when they should don't blame him. Just talk to him and tell him that he needs to be there for you emotionally also.

She shouldn't dump him. Who wants to hear some chick bitch and complain? I'm sure she was nonstop complaining for more than 5 minutes which is pretty much the time limit where a normal person starts to get bored by someone's lame boo-hoo story. I'm sorry but sympathy has an expiration date.

#68 comment is full of win. All the people that are going "She should dump him!" are anal. Releasing your stress on your significant other will hurt the relationship more than help. This is a boring situation, if the guy disagrees, then shit will hit the fan. His only real choice is to just nod and play along anyway. If he can't talk about something interesting, he'd might as well do something interesting.

No, the anal people are on the yearbook pictures thread and the wrestling creep thread.

Oh wow #91...that's pretty pathetic. That's what significant others are there for among other things, so you can talk to them, confide in them and talk about your problems. And that's what it should be like in any good relationship. My husband always bitched to me about his work problems when he was still in the military and it didn't hurt our relationship in any way. At least I knew why he was so upset.

Yeah but you also bitch to him right? It's a give and take situation. Besides in your case, your husband has the worst job in the world: major stress, major anal bosses and the devastation he sees everyday if he is in one of the war zones. Compared to that,OP has nothing to ******* bitch about.

WTF? gals want to be heared guys want sex do we give what the other one wants all the time?

you probably bitch a lot and he is just tired of it. get a clue and quit bitching. Like a rabbit in the middle of an ocean, you have no idea

Looks like we found an asshole who doesn't respect anybody

#3, you win. Pacman is awesome :D

#3 wins. And #2, if she can't talk to her boyfriend and expect him to comfort her in some way, then wtf is she supposed to do? Relationships aren't just physical.

Tetris is ultimately better than Pacman.

wow, this fml community never fails to amaze me. upvote the original comment, and down vote the comments agreeing with them

It's cause it's pointless to comment "agreed" instead of just clicking like.

Oh the shit that was popular in 2009... it’s now 10 years later in 2019 and NO ONE says that anymore.

what!?! who doesn't love a little nerd love? OP, did you think that maybe you talking about your stress at work reminded him of his stress at work? i mean, with all those idiots calling for tech support, they guy has to play tetris every once in a while.

I saw a shirt in Winners today that said, "I only date nerds" XD

Show it anyway

That's a lot nicer than what you deserved which is, "Shut the **** up and let be enjoy my pork roll sammich in peace, woman!" (That is the official state lunch meat of New Jersey, right?) Seriously, did you expect him to fix the stressful situation at your work? No, you just wanted to bloviate!

I prefer turkey with honey mustard and mayonaise sammiches, but then again, I'm not from New Jersey. Pork roll...interesting.

Look it up. It's spelled "bloviate." I'll bet it's going to become one of your favorite words. It applies to so many people.
