Today, my girlfriend confronted me for forgetting to take the trash out. At some point during the argument, I tried to calm her down, and the words "I should of" escaped my lips. She spent the next ten minutes calling me stupid and laughing at how my grammar goes to hell when I'm distressed. FML

Today, my caring way too much about proper grammar got out of hand when I corrected my girlfriend during a talk about her dying grandmother. FML

Today, I yelled at my girlfriend because I thought she'd thrown away an important form I needed to fill out. I found it a few minutes later, just stuck to the back of another piece of paper. After apologizing for getting mad, all she said was, "I'm used to it." FML

Today, my wife yelled at me for being a bastard and not caring about her needs. I felt like an asshole and apologized for everything. It took me a few hours to realize I'd basically just apologized for unknowingly hanging the toilet paper the "wrong way" for her OCD. FML

Today, I found out my girlfriend starts fights with me over text because apparently, when I'm arguing with someone, I stop speaking in "annoying shorthand" and am grammatically correct. FML

Today, my girlfriend felt bad about a rude comment she made to me, and asked me to insult her in return. I told her she was getting fat. Wrong move; now she's not speaking to me. FML

Today, my wife and I got into an argument. She ran out, yelling. Later, at work, I felt guilty, so I picked up some flowers and a card. When I presented them to her, she looked puzzled. I made the mistake of reminding her about our argument. She is now mad at me, again. FML

Today, I took out my phone and realized I butt dialed my girlfriend and left her a 4 minute voicemail of me farting in an echoing toilet bowl. FML

Today, I had a massive argument with my boyfriend, in which he called me stupid repeatedly. I stomped out of his house and sent a very angry text to my best friend about him. She didn't text back. Then my boyfriend texted, "My girlfriend is so stupid, she can't even text the right number." FML

Today, my girlfriend and I had an argument. She admitted she didn't know why she was pissed at me, but still is, and now she won't talk to me. FML

I have a feeling this will be one of the most grammatically-corrected threads in the history of FML. That should serve as fair warning to all the "ur" idiots out there.

I think saying it is fine since it sounds like "should've." Your girlfriend sounds like a bitch, OP.

I'm all for good grammar, but jeeze, your girlfriend sounds like a bully.

Wait, what? Does this mean this "confrontation" was done over text or something? How do you notice a grammar mistake through speech? Am I the only one who doesn't understand how this is possible in real life?

unless you're saying "should've," "should have" is noticeably different than "should of," I think

Okay, mixing up "should of" and "should've" IS stupid - "'ve" and "of" are not even remotely the same word - but how the hell did she even pick up the difference in spoken speech? Unless this was a text conversation, I suppose. Or the OP really enunciates incredibly precisely.

"of" pronounces the "f" a lot like a "v". The result sounding something more akin to "uv". Then "should" ends the syllable on the "d", forcing the rest of the contraction into a new syllable. The "e" in have is basically silent and remains so in the contraction. This forces the "-'ve" syllable to force out a vowel to get the "v" audible. The result sounding also akin to "uv". How the **** was that discernable, in conversation?
