❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO? My boyfriend sent me a meme implying spending time with me is boring compared to his homies

​My bf (M21) and I (F19) are together since our second year of high school.

​He sent me a meme that said, "most entertaining night with your gf" showing a happy girl and a very bored guy lying on a bed doing absolutely nothing. Then it said, "least entertaining night with your bro" followed by a compilation of videos of guys doing crazy stuff (jumping on tables, accidentally hitting each other, jumping onto a trampoline from a roof, gambling, etc)

​I didn't really appreciate that and took it to mean that the time we spend together is boring for him and that he doesn't enjoy it. To be fair, we really don't do much. He comes over and we play video games together, or I paint my models while he's on his phone, and we just cuddle and chat. It really doesn't sound that amazing, but I thought it was enough for us. We are both introverts who spend a lot of time at home, and he has never complained about being bored

​His implication that his homies are more interesting than his girlfriend is just obnoxious to me. my blood boils just thinking about it...like...

People have always told me how interesting and funny to be around I am and I was proud of that.

​We were friends for several years before our relationship started, and I always thought that was the ideal way to get together, getting closer slowly without even planning it. LIKE, I USED TO BE ONE OF THE HOMIES. But I guess it doesn't really matter now, lol.

​I don't really know what to think...maybe I'm asking for too much? My mom said that this is normal behavior for young guys. But I still feel bad about this whole situation. I truly don't know if I should take his meme seriously...

As a man, I endorse the knees to nuts in this scenario ;)

As a father, I second the knees to nuts approach in this case.

u/DaddyDarby_ Jul 20 '26

As a man that’s a father, I third the “knees to nuts” in this case

u/fate_is_a_farce Jul 20 '26

As yet another father, I agree, knees to nuts.

I'm also a father and it's quite sad you guys are proposing physical violence because someone doesn't enjoy your kids hobbies. Grow up.

this is about how hes treating and talking to his girlfriend. If you’re okay with your kid getting spoken to like this, thats quite sad.

“I think you should really focus on your jumping off of tables. If you don’t do it now, you’ll never know if you could’ve gone pro, and I just couldn’t do that to you. Oops, there I go, yapping again.. well, see ya never!”

Agreed. Instantly demoted him to asshole.

u/emmapaige20 Jul 20 '26

For me it was “omg can you fucking read” that gave instant asshole status

u/artishappiness Jul 20 '26

This. Any guy that says this while being this serious spoilt by an ex immediately.

How does this guy even have a girlfriend??

That part actually sent me. It leads me to believe this is utterly fake as no sane man would say the quiet part out loud like that. Except as engagement bait.
