I'm sorry about your dad, and I'm also sorry that your boyfriend said a hurtful thing. I don't know the history of your relationship with him, so I'm not going to tell you to dump him. But, I will ask if you explained to him how that hurt you, and how you would like it if he was more supporting. I hope things get better for you :-)

I meant #44, not #43. Maybe it's because I'm a guy or maybe even because I'm an atheist (I was Christian at the time of my father's death)..but I like to keep things to myself, regardless of what it is. If someone just told me that a friend of mine or a family member died today, of course I'd be angry and sad at the same time..but I'm not the kind of prick that goes around telling everyone that didn't even know my friend/family member that they just died for some pity. On top of that, by telling a friend that someone that they've never even met before has died is likely to make them feel extremely uncomfortable, which makes you a prick.

Wow, that really sucks... I'm so sorry :/ I lost my dad almost 2 years ago, unexpectedly. I know that it will be hard for the rest of my life... Maybe not every day, because it does get easier, but it still hurts to think about losing them. The OP has every right to cry about it, not just on the anniversary, but any day at all (of course, the anniversary is most understandable for people). If your boyfriend is insensitive enough to tell you that, the relationship isn't going to amount to much. :/

DAYUMN NIGGA

What the hell is with all the people telling her that crying is wrong? and she needs to grow up? Excuse me, but everyone is different. If you lost a parent and got over it in two years, congratulations. For others it may take longer and there is nothing wrong with that at all. I think it's a good thing that the OP is comfortable with expressing how she's feeling/what's going on. Please people. Have a heart, or at least try to.

seriously, thank you 145. five years, even for a parent, is a little much. i knew a girl in highschool who lost her mum when she was eight. it was senior year in highschool, and she still whined about it. and, yes, burst into tears during the 'anniversary' of her mother's death, and wanted people to feel sorry for her. my mother lost her mother about four years ago, and yes, she still misses her, but she doesn't cry and whine for sympathy anymore. i HAVE lost someone i love, but after a few years, it's enough.

wow. time for a new boyfriend

sounds like he wasn't listening. He was only paying attention to the fact that you were talking.

maybe you do talk too much.

What a jerk. I am so sorry for your loss.
