Today, while talking to my boyfriend, he got upset and accused me of making up words to make him feel stupid. All because I used the word "vapid." FML

Diss track

By Popscene - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - Australia - Gold Coast

Today, my boyfriend and I got into an argument; however, his new-found passion for hardcore rapping meant that he tried to "diss" me using bad rhymes and ill thought-out putdowns. It was ridiculous, and didn't really make any sense, so I started giggling. He stormed off, grumbling. FML

Communication breakdown

Today, I tried to tell my boyfriend how I have been feeling recently in our relationship. He lashed out at me, saying I was just accusing him of being the bad guy. I guess I'll never express my feelings ever again. FML

Today, my boyfriend accused me of making an FML about him. I let him know that if I were going to make an FML, it would be about how he doesn’t flush the toilet after he uses it. He responded by not flushing the toilet again this morning. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were at a restaurant with a few other couples, and my boyfriend started to rant on how "all the hot chicks are dumb." Apparently, I'm either ugly or stupid. FML

Today, I yet again had to pretend to be a dumb bimbo so that my boyfriend wouldn't get upset over the fact that, in some cases, I might be smarter than him. FML

Today, my dad accused me of being illiterate when I used a word he'd never heard of, saying it sounded like lazy slang, and that it wasn't a real word. He then yelled at me for being a "smartass who's always right" when I read aloud the definition from his 1978 copy of Webster's dictionary. Guess he's not enthused. FML

What did I do?

Today, my boyfriend dumped me by throwing my stuff out of his place, and accusing me of cheating while yelling, "Cheater, cheater! Pumpkin eater!" When I tried explaining that I have no clue what he's talking about, he started exclaiming, "Liar, liar! Pants on fire!" FML

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, 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

I don't think anyone uses a real dictionary anymore. #73 I'm sure it's either google or dictionary.com maybe urbandictionary.com I don't think anyone uses an actual dictionary that much any more.

Never heard of the word vapid. And to his defense OP, if you guys have been together a long time, you should know how strong his vocabulary is and a heated argument is no place for a vocabulary lesson. besides, even if he should know what vapid means, and you're right and show him how illegitimate his vocabulary is, in relationships it's important to remember that winning fights doesn't get you anywhere, it just hurts the other person. I learned that the hard way

So, she should dumb herself down for her boyfriend? She said she was talking to her boyfriend, she did not say arguing. He is the one who got mad at her for using a word he did not know. He should have been rational about it and just asked what it meant, not get overly upset because she used a "big word".

Okay first of all she shouldn't have to be "dumbing herself down" for her boyfriend. If intelligence is something one values, then choose an intelligent person to be with. Also, I'm sorry but I just have a hard time believing that they were just talking and all of a sudden boom she says one word he doesn't know and he gets mad at her for making up words. It's much more likely they had already been arguing and thus he was easily angered something as insignificant as a word he's never understood. I don't know anyone Who gets mad and feels stupid when someone says a word they don't know.
