Today, my boyfriend thought I was going to ask him if we wanted children together. Instead of talking about it, he pretended to have a violent seizure and die. FML

tessie94 tells us more.

Hello everyone, OP here. So it seems I should clarify a few things over here, don't want you guys worrying over something not that important :D first of all, we were both surprised our FML was published since we are both avid FML readers and have often joked that we should share some situations with you. This time, again and then I decided to actually share it and - hey presto :D then came the backlash. I forgot I was on the internet- I'm not an avid social media user so I'm not used to it. For everyone speculating: yes, the Sherlocks among you have correctly deducted that I am indeed 21 and my boyfriend is 22. We have been going out for almost 3 years now and are very happy together. We even have talked about having children together in lighter moments but on the evening I posted it my darling man was not very relaxed and I was amused by the cliché behaviour of him freaking out and me being overly attached. He did pretend to die violently every time I wanted to talk about it to the point that we were both just in tears laughing. But no worry, we both are NOT having children anytime soon. I was talking about the future, 7-10, maybe even 15 years. I want to be a late mum because as you guys probably haven't guessed I am a trained nanny and child minder and therefore know full well how tiring and difficult children can be, even though I love them dearly. And so does my boyfriend by the way. He is the most wonderful uncle to two tiny kiddos we both love more than anything, which is why I thought he was ok with talking and dreaming about our child-filled future. Obviously not. Boys will be boys but that is fine as well of course. Lastly, I want to apologise to anyone who might or might not feel offended by me joking about seizures, in no way was I reflecting it and realising what that could mean. I am sorry. And as a side note- Tessie is my dog. Cheerio and thanks for reading and worrying about unwanted children set into this world (of which there are far too many) love from a loving Austrian/British Nanny and veterinary student :)

That's so immature, dump him and yourself a real man that can have a mature conversation without acting like a child!

I have epilepsy and I still found this FML hilarious

My husband calls me his Weeble, because when I seize I wobble but I don't fall down. Usually nobody under 30 gets that, though; Weebles were popular toys in the 1980s or so.

Before you guys actually have any children, make sure there still isn't a child in the relationship and that you are both adults about it.

He's scared of having kids, because apparently he is a kid.

He was trying to do some comic relief. It's a shitty thing to do, but sometimes that gear doesn't turn in somebody's head. Just try to pretend it never happened.

i'm going to assume you were born in 94 from your username. if that's the case then you're no older than 21 which imo is too ******* young to have kids

Where did she say she wanted to have kids? She said her boyfriend thought she was going to ask about it, not that she did.
