Stressed out

By amy1023 - 26/11/2009 10:18 - United States

Today, I complained to my boyfriend that I was stressed out. He asked me, "What do you have to be stressed out about?" I work 50 hours a week and go to school full time. I ask him what was stressful about his day, he told me that his "kill/death ratio went down on Call of Duty." FML

Ffft, have you ever had your kill/death ratio go down? It's very stressful.

FYL, I've been there. 2 full time jobs, an additional part time job, and a home based business. The school isn't the stressful part i've found, wait til the bills pile in. that's the WORST. Ex then said he was pissed at me for our relationship because i didn't have time for him. He doesn't even have his own bank account, and sat on World of Warcraft 70+ hours a week.

Well, if working 50 hours a week is extremely stressful for you, I recommend talking with your boss/employer on cutting down hours. Explain to him/her that you are a full-time student and cannot manage that much work+all that school. I'm pretty sure he/she would understand your case because they probably went through the same thing. If your boss doesn't cut your hours down, do NOT quit school for your job. I would quit my job, stay in school, and find a different job that is a part-time job with less than 50 hours a week that still gets a good pay. Until you get out of school, stick to a lower-hour job. Once you're out, you can get a full-time and get a nice pay. And your boyfriend is stressed about his kill/death ratio...that's understandable on a man's behalf. They are serious about their videogames and their stats. On an assumption (although I hate assuming), your boyfriend seems like the I-don't-really-care type of guy. That's okay though. I would just laugh it off and worry about your own stress for now. If his stress gets REALLY bad (which it probably won't considering it's just about a videogame), then you can worry about his problems for awhile. But for now, focus on your work and your school and take my advice as mentioned above. As far as FYLs and YDIs are concerned, I say FYL. But the FYL is going towards YOUR stress, not your boyfriend's. His is just minor and not really considered "stressful", but yours sounds like a serious stress-case. I hope everything gets better for you...and your boyfriend!

People that right this counselling like essays ruin Fmylife. Just shutup. You should post an FML for sitting on FML all day writing essays that no one cares enough to read, Not even the OP.

sooo you're saying that between school and work you're logging in 70 hours a week, not counting commuting time..... i call bullshit on this one but if it is true maybe you should stop spending your precious seconds of free time on your unemployed boyfriend

It is possible to work 50 hours a week and go to school, what industry does the OP work in? It's not stated, but some industries/employers are very demanding, I'm a chef and on top of my part time school work I do 60 hours at work a week, minimum. Just because it's not very common doesn't mean it's bullshit, plenty of people in hospitality are attempting to struggle along with the demands of their workplace and study full or part time so they can get ahead in life. OP, FYL for the work/school stress you're under, but YDI if you stick with the boyfriend who (if your post is taken at face value) sits on his ass playing videogames all day, and doesn't offer you any form of support. My BF works 50 to 60 hour weeks, without the study and honestly if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to manage it all.

FYL for having so much to do but YDI for having a couch potato for a boyfriend.. You deserve more then what he has to offer, that is unless you like to hear him fail in fantasy land.
