Today, I found out my cousin - who suffers from bipolar disorder - shot herself in the chest and has only a 20 percent chance of living. I told my boyfriend, while crying, and he held me for a few minutes. As soon as I got quiet, he pulled out his iPhone and started playing a shooter game. FML

Your boyfriend probably thinks people respawn in real life like in CoD.

that's so effed up I can't believe him... break up with him he doesn't care about yhu

Maybe he isn't good in bad situations. I think the bigger FML here is about your cousin. You should stop worrying about how your boyfriend is acting and go visit your cousin. FML is not the place to be right now

He doesn't know how to express himself better. Not every guy is keen with emotions, so the way they respond to someone else's dilemma will seem...rude.

OP I hope your cousin pulls through. Now to everyone saying "so what he got bored and started playing" if you're comforting someone you care about you shouldn't be bored your mind should be focused on them. And even if it doesn't, you should care enough about them to at least pretend they're the only thing on your mind. Whether he knew the cousin or not is irrelevant, it's that it's something that is upsetting his girl so he should care for her.

and this is why I don't need to be reading FMLs in the morning, because it wasn't until I read the comments that I linked the gun suicide attempt with a shooting game :o either way, get a bf with more sense and I hope your sis makes it :)

Comic relief! It wouldn't be as funny if he started playing Labyrinth.

this is probably a coping mechanism for him. hes probably distressed that his gf was distressed and after she stopped crying attempted to clear his mind.

I am really sorry, OP. I hope your cousin pulls through and that she is able to get the treatment she needs to see that suicide is not the answer. If I were you, I would dump your boyfriend. That sounds extremely inconsiderate and I would furious at him. :/

Yes 101 all of us nurses who devote our lives to take care of the sick and dying are dicks just because we may own an iPhone.

It was probably either Bioshock (replay) or Bioshock 2 which just came out. Cousins can't compete wig Bioshock.
