Today, my boyfriend complained that we may not work out because I'm "just too needy". I'd woken up early and texted him "good morning" while he was trying to sleep. FML

God I hate FML's like this...

I appreciate a good morning text from my (hypothetical) girlfriend. Shows she cares. Now if it's a daily thing for you to text him early in the morning.. Depends. He can just turn the ringer off for the texts like I do. I get texts at all times from friends away at college or who just live far away, but I learned to silence my phone completely rather than bitch about it.

Important things to consider. Did you know he was asleep? If he's been your boyfriend for awhile, do you know he keeps his phone on to get emergency messages when he's sleeping? Now you know this is a pet peeve, just don't text him when you know he's sleeping anymore. Hardly an FML. Now if he's very anal retentive about you following his patterns even if they change a lot, you have to decide if that's something you want in a relationship. Personally this doesn't bug me, I prefer someone who is structured but flexible. And text messages cost a lot of people money, some people prefer not getting them if they don't relate to anything. kk, good morning, ect. Kind of pointless. Especially if you see him all the time. + Thinking this is a fml strikes me as a bit of an overreaction.

Hey snickerdoodles, by the way people in actual real-life relationships do text each other when they wake up, that wouldn't be texting every thought. You'd probably know that if you ever had an actual relationship. Online doesn't count.

he's a loser - nerds are hot!

Why would you wake up your boyfriend just because you got up early? I wouldn't call that "needy" but maybe he didn't want to call you something worse. Selfish works. You just couldn't let him sleep?

I've noticed lately that all you do is summarize what everyone else said and add your own little spin on it. It's cool and all, but by the time we reach half way down the page it's just the saaaame thing. I guess it wouldn't be so bad, but you comment on almost every FML there is.

here's the deal, ladies... i have no problem being all lovey-dovey with a girl (heck, i'm probably the most affectionate, lovey-dovey guy out there), but those 1-2 word texts that a lot of you do IS freakin annoying. for example, if i got a text from my girl that said "hey, just wanted to say good morning so u have something nice to wake up to," i'd think that was sweet as hell. but a text that just says "good morning" screams "hey, pay attention to me!" not good. and the worst thing ever is when you don't respond for awhile and the girl feels the need to get your attention with a "so..." or just "...?" for god's sake, man, if i don't text you for ten minutes, just assume that i'm busy and i'll respond as soon as i can!

You are needy, but what you need is a new boyfriend. One who has a better and more accurate vocabulary. You are "selfish" and "inconsiderate", not "needy."

That is pretty fricking annoying. I'd hate if my partner did that.

yeah ydi, probably thought this would become standard. that would be nuts for any man to have that every morning.
