Today, my boyfriend took me to get the abortion that we both agreed on. He was being so supportive through the whole thing. When it was all over I thanked him for coming. He replied, "Well that's what got us here in the first place!" He's still mad he can't tell anyone his joke. FML

High five to your boyfriend for a fantastic joke!

sometimes the best way to help accept a tough decision is to laugh about it plus it's a really clever joke so I don't think you should over react

Well I'm sure your now dead baby would get a laugh of of that too.

All the women here are like "wow how immature" and all the guys here are like "what a clever joke". I'm a guy so I find it a clever joke

I'm a woman and I found it clever. My sister would as well... So there goes that theory.

Except that only one person has called OP'S boyfriend immature.

Whoops, for some reason editing on my phone doesn't work.

Where's the YDI button? Because this is the perfect example of YDI!

I think many readers are missing the point of the FML. The problem is that the boyfriend wants to tell other people his joke which would let others know about the abortion itself. Though it's their decision to terminate the pregnancy, it can be a touchy subject that the OP might feel is no one else's business. Especially if word gets out to family or others that might feel a need to voice their opinion about what was done.

What a jackass! Sorry u have to deal with that crap OP

You're a terrible person! That's an amazing joke!

No, she is not a terrible person. Don't be a jerk.

Yes, she's a terrible person for having a different sense of humor. That adds up.

What a tough decision, but it's wonderful that you had great support. If you guys aren't using BC... I'd like to personally say I love my Skyla IUD. As a woman, I know how draining and hard it is to find the right birth control. If your BC options actually failed, I'm sorry and keep trying to find what works best. Best of luck!

He loved an supported you during a very difficult time (that I know of from experience.) Sometimes men just have to say a stupid joke to lighten a mood that had become really dark. He meant nothing by it, but I can understand your frustration. Thank him for his support. He is a keeper!

It's not about a joke. Op's boyfriend want to tell other people that she had abortion. That's the case.

I'm sorry, but that's funny. Lol. The joke, not the abortion.

This kind of thinking is probably exactly why she didn't want him to share the news (especially not by way of a joke) with others.
