When I was listening to rslash yesterday my brain was thinking what was the biggest fuckup in my life and I reminded myself on this story…

(Mandatory, didn’t happen today, happened like 3 years or so ago. Also I (F23) am in process of diagnosing autism and English is not my first language, so I’m sorry for any and all mistakes. BF is 26)

Onto the story; my BF had a grandfather who was after multiple stokes and he got very ill one day, so bf’s family transported him to the hospital. After some time he contracted pneumonia while in hospital, barerly alive, so I tried my best in comforting my BF. BF told me that there is no need to comfort him, because he knows that his grandfather doesn’t have much time left, but I still tried to be a support if he needs to. I don’t know how much time has passed, but BF’s grandfather had succumbed to the illness. My BF told me about it, I asked him whether I can help him in any way, whether he needs comforting, he told me that he can deal with it, last time he was trurly sad and crying was when his pet rabbit died. So my stupid ass who can’t comprehend my own emotions, let alone somebodys else told him that something stupid got into my head, he told me to go ahead, ask/send. So I did. (what i’ve sent him). BF just replied with “…” then “we will talk tomorrow. Good night.” SOMEHOW I made him not dump me. IDK HOW, but hey, we are together now for over 4 years!

TL;DR: I’ve sent my grieving BF a stupid meme instead of comforting message.

Edit: I just hope he does not find this post, I don’t want him to feel it again

edit 2: made some improvements to the post.
