Today, I was in bed sick from pneumonia. I asked my boyfriend to nuke a can of soup for me. He said "in a sec, let me finish this game" and continued to play on his Xbox for an hour. Starving, I crawled out to make soup. When I sat down to eat, he paused the game and asked "you didn't make me any?" FML

Today, I was feeling sick, so I called my boyfriend who lives down the street to come and keep me company. He replied with, "no, I can't come over, I'm busy, I'm playing xbox." FML

Today, I was sick with the flu so my boyfriend announced that he would make me some chicken soup. It was touching until I stumbled to the kitchen and found out that his "chicken soup" was actually leftover KFC bones boiled in water. FML

Today, I was sick and laid up in bed, and my boyfriend decided to bring me some soup. Just as he reached the bed, he tripped over his own feet and spilled the soup all over me. FML

Survival mode

Today, my boyfriend scolded me for asking whether he’d like his favorite soup for lunch when he was, "in absolutely no shape to survive ingesting food." Two hours later he's greedily digging into an almost expired pack of cheap and nasty supermarket waffles from out of his bag. FML

Honey…

Today, I had a horrible stomach flu and was well into my second hour of dry heaving when I heard my husband knock on the bathroom door. I was touched that he was worried about me, until I heard, "Honey, what did you make for dinner?" FML

Healthy lifestyle goals

Today, I made a healthy, delicious dinner. My girlfriend picked at it until it went cold, then stuck it in the fridge. Later, she devoured a giant bowl of sugary cereal, then complained all night that her stomach hurt. This happens a lot. FML

Sounds like a keeper

Today, my boyfriend came home and demanded dinner. I started suggesting things, but he threw out that we should just fend for ourselves. I made pasta and offered him some, but he decided to throw a fit and go to bed at 6:30pm without dinner. He then woke up at 9 to complain he was hungry, then slept on the couch. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were making out when I asked him to go brush his teeth, since his breath stank. He went back to playing video games. FML

Today, I was so sick that I was puking and had the runs. While on the toilet, I yelled for my boyfriend to get me a bowl to puke in. As I did so, I saw that a ton of it was forming on the floor in dots. My boyfriend had given me a spaghetti strainer. FML

He was right, you should have made him a hot bowl of soup then "tripped' on the way and given his console a nice bath.

You would have stopped something you enjoyed doing for him. You deserve to be treated with the same care you would give to others. Onwards and upwards girlfriend, you'll be better off without such a selfish bf

Gamer or not, he had no right to behave like that, especially if OP was sick. Everyone handles illnesses differently, even if it had been a simple cold or the flu, it could have been hell for OP just the same. I get sick maybe once every 2-3 years, and when I do, I feel like I want to die every time because I'm not used to it. So enough of this "YDI--you should make him a meal anyways even if you're sick, you pussy" bullshit, and enough of this "YDI you inconsiderate whiny needy bitch for not making him soup" douche talk. It takes 5 minutes at the absolute most to pause a game, tell your online gamer buddies that you need to make soup for your ill girlfriend, go the kitchen, pour some soup in a bowl, microwave it, and deliver it to her. If you have extra time, be considerate and get some orange juice for her too. It's not "women's work" either to do that. It's called being ******* CONSIDERATE of other people when they're sick, you assholes! If he doesn't love OP enough to do as I pointed out, then he's obviously not at a mature enough stage to even be dating. OP was anything but in the wrong here. I hope that she kicks his ass to the curb once she gets her strength back and finds someone who actually cares for her. Gamers are not a problem if they know how to tend to human needs at the same time.
