Today, my 12 year-old dog died. My boyfriend's attempts to comfort me involved him muttering, "At least she knows how to play dead now." FML

Teach your boyfriend how to roll over by hitting him in the balls lol. That was insensitive of him though.

I'm sorry about your dog :( your boyfriend most likely is just really awkward with comforting people and was trying to make you feel better about it, but if he was seriously being a douche then you should rethink your relationship. Even though it's a dog, dogs feel like family to a lot of people and it's an insensitive thing to joke about.

I'm sorry about your doggy :'( my dog Seven was 12 when she died, and she was a husky Shepard mix. I'm so sorry for your loss, OP. I know she meant so much to you, but just know that she is in a much happier place and will always watch over you.

I can already see everyone bashing op's boyfriend... He obviously tried to comfort her differently before but just didn't know what to say anymore. A silly joke, a little laugh. This can be healthy when you're down. I'm not comfortable around people who have lost someone close (or similar situations). It just creates an awkward moment and I don't really know what to do. Everyone deals with this in a different way and I guess hurting her was not the boyfriend's intention.

Oh come on, he was probably just trying to lighten your spirits with some ill placed humor. At least he tried and wasn't indifferent.

I would have to laugh at that. It would probably make me smile a little even though it's kind of sick. Maybe he was trying to do that

Don't be such a bitch . . . uh, sorry, that's a poor choice of words for this situation. Hey, at least he didn't say, "I guess now she's like you are in the sack." That's pretty positive, right?
