Today, I was crying and telling my boyfriend about my problems. When he suddenly stood up, I thought that he was going to grab me some tissues. Turns out he'd gone to get earplugs. FML

Wow... that's a bit insensitive.. I'm not going to say 'dump him!' But I think you need a serious talk. Communication is key and he should hear your problems and try to help you!

Wow, everyone here is being so much more charitable than I would. A partner is supposed to want to hear about your problems so they can try to help, or at least be there for you emotionally. Not being interested + the level of passive aggressive BS it takes to go and get earphones instead of just saying "honey, I want to help but I need a break from the bad news right now" = one giant asshole who wants to get his out of the relationship without putting the work back in. So yeah, you know what I'm gonna say, dump his sorry ass already and spend your time around people who actually care about you.

I would get out while you have the chance, what starts as insensitivity turns into emotional neglect.

He could have met you half way and used just one earplug.

Seems to me that he wants a girlfriend who cries and complains less, and you want a boyfriend who is happy to listen to your crying and complaining. You'd both be better off with other people.

How bad I feel for you in this situation depends on how whiny you are. He sounds super insensitive but constantly "dumping" on someone is so incredibly draining especially if your problems are all minor, self created issues where you don't want a solution and only to whine. Either way sounds like you both need to reevaluate your compatibility.

If he can't hear you, he can't feel bad. FYL indeed

I really can't judge this without more context on what you're whining about. If it's something trivial, I don't blame the boyfriend at all. It's thoroughly annoying when someone just wants to cry on your shoulder for something stupid. If it's not a trivial problem however, then yeah, he should ******* listen.

Maybe she complains about her problems too often. If I had to listen to myself complain all the time I'd go get some ear plugs as well!
