Today, I went to the doctor and found out that I am infertile. When I called my boyfriend of 2 years, with whom I was hoping to have a future, to talk to him about it, all he said was, "So does this mean I don't have to wear a condom anymore?" FML

He was pretty insensitive if he knew you wanted to have kids. Although the no condom thing is good news.

He's just looking on the positive side

If you're going to try to use proper English and say "whom," don't end your sentence with a preposition. Say "with whom I hoped to have a future."

This isn't an FML. Some kids might get adopted! o/

I don't see how not having children will prevent you from having a future with someone. Also, just because someone's first verbal response to a situation isn't ideal it doesn't mean that they're completely insensitive to what is really going on.

We don't need anymore smartmouthed shitheads on this planet. This was a blessing in disguise.

#121 - It's not uncommon for people who are entirely set on reproducing naturally to leave someone when they are incapable of that. And to everyone saying this is not an FML, this girl obviously wanted children and not only found out that she will not be able to produce her own, but didn't get support from the person who was supposed to give it to her. How is that less of an FML than the guy who got "cockblocked" by bursting pipes or the person who mistook a little person for a child? Her life is actually effected in the long term here.

You never know you might be able to have a child. Let there be a miracle!~

You gotta give the guy credit for having some sort of a sense of humor. C'mon. It's not like he's infertile. I know that's how I always deal with things. Humor. He wasn't being insensitive I'm sure.

ugghhhh....haha want my illegitimate baby?! FML.

I don't know why the boyfriend was supposed to assume she would be upset that she's infertile. It seems like a rather silly thing to get upset about. Unlike what some people here seem to think, being infertile doesn't mean you can't have children, it just means you can't give birth to them. You can still adopt, and making children from your own genes doesn't make it any more special. Plus this way you have more choice in the matter and can't become accidentally pregnant. So it's really not an FML unless you're so selfish that you think children that don't come from your body are somehow better than other children.
