Actually, my ex was a nice guy. He wasn't an asshole at all and he did the same thing. So that isn't always the case.

Ok.... You can keep defending that. I guess it's just me then. I never ask for nudes from my girlfriend. Maybe it's because I know it's really easy to hack into someones phone and steal their stuff. If I want to see her naked, I'll ask her in person when we're both alone.

We don't know the whole story. OP's boyfriend could be long distance, and therefore can't see her nude in person. Regardless, just because he asked for nudes doesn't mean he's an asshole. The fact that he ignored her feelings to ask for them could mean he is one, but asking for them in general doesn't necessarily make you one.

Either that or he didn't get her message, which is entirely possible for those asshats in the future that will rip me for coming up with that. My phone frequently eats messages that I send and receive.

#51: you also can argue he didn't recognize it if she sent one of those ambiguous texts. Ex: "hey..." to an emotionally observant person, those ellipses could mean thought. To a less observant (or possibly horny) person, they could mean a sexy whisper. Don't judge too fast

That's always the solution, isn't it? No.

On FML whenever a spouse or significant other does something wrong, many commenters seem to think divorce or separation is the answer.

ce28- thats because some things they do are so severe and damaing to the relationship that it may be necessary to break it off with them. not wanting to give emotional support to your significant other and instead asking for nudes is crossing the line

But, is it really worth ending the relationship? Maybe, if this isn't the first time stuff like this has happened. If I were in a happy relationship I would not let this end it.
