Today, my girlfriend asked me to get her new clothes. She's gone from a size 4 to a size 12 during our relationship. FML
I agree, your life sucks (18156) - you totally deserved it (6556)
On 02/03/2009 at 5:47am - love - by damnit (man) - United States (New York)
Just more of her to love.
My friend realized that he was getting fat cause he was in a relationship for the last 2 years. His Girlfriend never wanted to do anything outdoors but see movies and go to restaurants.
So he started working out and getting in shape. She got jealous that he was getting in shape and looking good again so she started working out with him.
She got in reaaaaaalllllllllllllyyyyyy good shape. Then she started banging guys in the sauna and lockeroom.
Now my buddy has a half a year to go on a gym membership at a gym full of guys that his ex has banged or is banging.

Reminds me of a "Herman" cartoon: "This marriage certificate says you weigh 95 pounds. Legally I'm not even married to three-quarters of you!"

Get the hell over yourself....did you happen to think that maybe you have something to do with the fact that she gained so much weight while you were together? The only time I ever gained any weight in a relationship was because my boyfriend was too lazy to do anything active with me.
#13 - On 02/07/2009 at 3:39pm by annoyed
(+3)Holy shit. Get over yourself, you chauvanist pig! Size 12 is normal. Size 4 is practically aneorexic. If you only love her for the body she had, and not for who she really is, you don't deserve her.
Size 12 IS normal,
get over yourselves!
More cushion for the pushin'

(+1)im going with comment 13. my boyfriend has complained ive gained weight not fat but chubby but he never wants to go out with me. he also wants to eat fast food and constantly buying me choclate and sodas when i ask him not too.
(0)@OP
You shouldn't expect your SO to put in any more effort than you do. If you're chunky too then you're just as much at fault.
@18
That makes him a borderline hypocrite. If he's going to complain about it he could at least buy healthy food for you and possibly work out with you.
not sure why everyone is being so hard on the guy ...i don't stop taking care of myself just because in with someone. you should still want to be healthy even if you're not on the market. and for another thing, i'm not sure i'd be too cool with a significant other straight up asking me to buy her clothes if i was a guy. she should support herself instead of relying on you to buy her stuff.
#20 - On 02/09/2009 at 3:52pm by kt
a girl should respect her body (and herself) enough not to gain that much weight-- REgardless of whether or not she is dating someone. if i were dating a guy that suddenly gained fifty pounds i would not be okay with that; that kind of weight gain is indicative of something wrong going on, on the INside. so while the fml might be a bit misguided in its intention, i'm with the poster on this one. and to all the women who are bitching about fat/unhealthy boyfriends? please. i don't recall any boyfriend of mine ever forcing me to adapt his more unsavory habits. take responsibility for yourself and have a little self-esteem.
#21 - On 02/09/2009 at 6:45pm by o hayy
Size 12 is gorgeous, in my opinion; size 4 is way too small. Just go with it!
#22 - On 02/10/2009 at 2:00am by amk
see, this is obviously where you should end the relationship. do me a favor and tell your girlfriend jabba the hutt that any money she gets should go into a savings fund for her to get a liposuction, not new clothes. unless she is pregnant, that weight gain is completely unacceptable.
#25 - On 02/11/2009 at 3:12pm by skinny3itch
I'll take her if you don't want her. Think she'll go up another 5 sizes?
#26 - On 02/11/2009 at 3:20pm by BeatleJWOL
as a girl, size twelve is not normal for someone who was previously a size four. a pants size is approximately eight pounds. she gained four pants sizes/thirty-two pounds. that is bad, especially on a girl who was previously fairly petite.
#27 - On 02/11/2009 at 11:07pm by serially
(+1)How shallow!! I agree with #15!!
If you only want her for her body do her a favour and leave her now. Size 12 used to be classed as normal it's only as times have changed that it is getting more popular to be thinner than that.. the only way that can be abnormal is if she put that weight on very quickly.. if she didn't and is happy and healthy you have no right to complain, it's her freaking body to do what she wants with, being size 4 is way more unhealthy than size 12, that is anorexic!!
(0)There are plenty of size 4s who -aren't- anorexic...but that's besides the point >_>. Either extreme is no good, obviously..
@14 - Sure it is. But I do know firsthand of guys that take their girlfriends out to fast food places all the time, and constantly buy chips/chocolates for them :P. Its a bit hypocritical if they're the ones concerned about their girlfriend's weights.
my friend has been going out with her bf for 2 months and already went from a size 2 to a 6...
#30 - On 02/13/2009 at 4:16pm by lindsey
Um. The problem is not the weight, in my opinion, but that she wants you to buy her clothes. Doesn't she work? Are you a sugar daddy? Can't she buy them herself?
#31 - On 02/14/2009 at 4:36pm by Vengeance
(0)#2: Fuck that. That time spent in the bedroom can be a hell of a lot more exercise than sleeping.
#13, #the-rest-of-you... any drastic change in weight is extremely unhealthy. size 4-12 is crazy. there is something going on. medication, inactivity on both parts, or just plain laziness, it needs to be corrected.
#31. damn straight. the girl pays for her own clothes unless you request something or decide to give her a gift.
get to the gym with her, or roll her down a hill. first option will help, second would be entertaining.
It shouldn't matter if your girlfriend has gained weight or not...way to be a Shallow Hal dude thumbs up for being an ass i hope she dumps you
#34 - On 02/18/2009 at 2:30am by tink21
(-1)I thought he meant he bought her size 4 clothing and it doesn't fit... >.> You know thinking she was that size, making him not an ass hole...
Was I wrong?
#36 - On 02/24/2009 at 6:44pm by ZombieKnickers
(-2)Man, I've been there. It will never go back to normal. You may want to cut and run now. My ex did the same thing and no diet or any kind of exercise worked. She just got bigger.
#37 - On 02/25/2009 at 3:12pm by hippyjesus
you're an ass. regardless of whether or not her weight gain is healthy, you shouldn't post this as a FML. maybe she's going through a tough time that has made her put on the weight, and all you can think about is your dissatisfaction with her body? be supportive, not a dick.
#40 - On 02/27/2009 at 9:41pm by vbdhbvjds
While in a relationship, I realize that you eventually become like the person you're with. So you are probably one of those "fat on the inside" guys or your girlfriend has adopted some new eating habits. I'm a size 10 and have been since I developed hips at the young age of 13. Since then, I've never disappointed. Lot's of guys like the big booty and nice boobs. I also am very tentative to my weight and try never to gain any, but have trouble with losing. So this chick needs to get in the game and realize, any bigger, and you're going to be obese. Perhaps you all should go to the gym together and cook healthy meals together :)
#41 - On 02/27/2009 at 11:39pm by Kalica
12 really isn't that big. It's about average, and depending on her height, probably a healthy weight for her. 4-12 is a change, but it really isn't that huge a change...sizes are not very far apart!
#42 - On 02/28/2009 at 3:26am by whatyoutalkinbout
(0)....wow...
is that really all you have to worry about in life?
Maybe its time you make some changes there little guy.
#44 - On 03/04/2009 at 11:53am by Abulous518
(0)Jerk.. I went from a size 5 to a size 12...wtf (and people actually say I look better, now that I have big breasts and a butt), I bet she feels better from not constantly starving herself. 12, isn't really that big, do you look as good as you did when you first started dating?
#47 - On 03/10/2009 at 3:33am by pianogoddess
(0)#24, size 12 is not normal? Maybe if you're 5feet tall. I'm sorry, but being a size 4 is? I'm over 5"8', I used to be a size 5 (I know I stated it before) and my doctor told me to gain weight. Do some research before you open your mouth, it's not about weight or size, it's BMI that matters.
#48 - On 03/10/2009 at 3:38am by pianogoddess
(0)I'm sorry, but size 12 is not normal. It is overweight. I'm 5'5, size 5, and Im definitely not a twig. 12's not morbidly obese, but its definitely overweight.
(0)i think that it is not healthy to gain that much weight unexpectedly, 12 is not a bad size-- it just depends on the person- i would look terrible as a size 12 (im a 4) but it is not necesarily a bad thing
#49 - On 03/11/2009 at 10:08pm by Elleluvssnow
(0)I'm sure she's still extremely sexy :P
and to everyone saying that the asking of buying clothes is a FML... wait til you get engaged or married... it gets worse :P I can't remember the last time I bought anything with my own money, and I've only been married a month... lmao
(+2)All of you who think she's fat are pigs. Size 12 is completely healthy for almost any woman, and you should be more worried about how healthy and happy she is than how similar she looks to one of the anorexic models on the cover of many magazines. To the author of the post, she should break up with you and find someone worth her time.
#54 - On 03/18/2009 at 4:48am by kittyluvr69
(-1)Anyone saying that this is normal is probably obese. Gaining that much weight (unless you started dating her when she was 12) is NOT healthy AT ALL.
I would also be upset, so long as I was taking care of myself. I exercise regularly, and I expect my girlfriend to take care of her body as well. Not only to stay sexy for one another, but for the simple health benefits.
(0)How tall is she? Because if she's over 5'6", size 12 isn't bad.
#58 - On 03/20/2009 at 8:45pm by katzgoboom
(-2)#54, people who say models are anorexic are fat themselves,
lose weight fatty, You're just jealous and need to lash out.
People who say size 12 is normal for a person
are fucking idiots.
It completely depends on the height/size of the woman,
size twelve on a 4^10 looks fucking disgusting.
I myself look like a white Mr T, with the chains and
everything. I have BO, and my teeth are non existent.
Idiots, if she doesn't wanna lose the weight dump the whore,
find someone who takes care of herself.
I myself look like a white Mr T, with the necklaces and stuff
I smell of BO, and my teeth are non existant.
That's what gives me the right to be disparaging about women
who don't fit into my narrow minded sexist view.
#62 - On 04/14/2009 at 10:13am by thuglife13
(0)Who said she was 4'10"?
If she is a normal height and not a leprechaun, she probably looks way better. Kim Kardashian is a 10 and she's 5'3" so..
If she's healthy, you're a dick and she should trade up. As well, models ARE anorexic. My best friend just got back from Paris where she was told to lose 2 inches off her hips -- she is 5'11" and weighs 115 pounds. The people she lived with ate an apple a day. Don't talk about what you don't know.
#64 - On 04/20/2009 at 12:26am by safetydeposit
(+2)You are an asshole. Are you trying to put her down to make yourself feel better? Maybe because you have a tiny penis? Wake up size 12 is normal. Not just normal it's sexy.
(-1)Most of you people completely missed the point. No, Size 12 is not bad, depending on her height. Going from a 4 to a 12 in a short time is VERY unhealthy, and who's to say she's leveled off at 12? Looks like a pattern to me. Buying her clothes sounds like a waste, because she'll grow out of them so quickly, which is probably why she needs new clothes! She's grown out of everything she owns. Also, asking your boyfriend to buy you clothes is grounds for dismissal.
#66 - On 04/23/2009 at 3:57pm by christopherlove
(0)Maybe its happiness weight. :-)
Lots of people are skinny and miserable,and feel great when they eat loads and are curvey!
#67 - On 04/27/2009 at 4:38pm by Curly_Wurly
(-2)LOL!!!! FYL, dude, that's sad. She's been eating too much chocolate chip cookies...
Cookie!
#69 - On 05/03/2009 at 5:21pm by C0okieMonster
(0)Oh well so what? If it bothers you, start getting out more and NICELY mention a gym and eating healthy TOGETHER, don't act like it's all her.
(0)wow, lotta hate towards the guy. #1, if she was size 4 to begin with, she's probably short, like 5 feet or so, so yea, size 12 is pretty big. #2, despite her getting fat, he hasnt dumped her, so don't know why you're getting on his case. And I doubt this guy has gained that much weight, or he probably wouldn't be complaining. His GF has tripled her pants size, that's a good reason to comlain.
If she's gone up 8 sizes... stop buying jeans. Buy her sweat-pants. Maybe switch to maternity clothes if she gets much bigger.
(-1)not to be mean, but a size 12 is not normal. it is overweight, unless your girlfriend is 6 feet tall. a size 4 is completely normal and by no means anorexic. if your girlfriend is around 5'4 or 5'5 (average height), then a size 4 would bring her to about 130-135 pounds. completely normal and healthy weight. in order to be underweight she would have to be less than 107 pounds (a size 0 would be a little loose). but who says that all underweight people are anorexic? some people just have faster metabolisms. don't be jealous because you're not a 4, be jealous because you are unhealthy and unattractive at a 12.
#76 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:04pm by lshtipmp_09
(0)#76 you have clearly never been in a women's clothing store if you think that a woman who's 5'5" and 135 lbs will fit into a size 4.
#103 - On 06/27/2010 at 2:58pm by tessipedia
(0)I need to work this one out. A 4 over there is about a 6 here so a 12 is about a 14 give or take one size i think.
So that's overweight yes. It depends how long the relationship's been going on, if she's put on that much in a month or something then FHL I'd be worried
#78 - On 08/20/2009 at 3:11pm by SmileandWave
(+1)Size 12 is the average size of an American woman in the present day. Just saying. Other famous 12's include Marilyn Monroe. No one thought she was ugly or fat.
(+2)Unless she is under 5 feet, that's normal. Please get a clue about normal and healthy body sizes. Thanks.
#80 - On 09/09/2009 at 12:46pm by mysticold13
(0)In Australia a size 12 is an average size... Size 4-find the childrens section! As it is I stared a relationship and put on weight-Unfortunately I had to leave my VERY active job to move and be with my partner and then couldnt get another one. Just when I started losing weight I got VERY sick and couldnt get out of bed for 4 months... More WEIGHT! I feel fat, I am fat but my partner supports me because of the things Ive gone through. We have joined a gym and we go there 3 times a week together. I am losing weight now THANKS TO THE SUPPORT OF MY LOVING WONDERFUL PARTNER!!
#81 - On 09/10/2009 at 7:59pm by werzal
(0)I'm a size 12. Well, in the US I'm a 10; but here it's a 12.
I'm not fat. I don't look fat. I also have boobs and a bum, two (or three?) things I'm willing to bet your girlfriend didn't have when she was a size 4.
So shut the fuck up you shallow tit.
#82 - On 09/21/2009 at 1:21pm by n3rdzgotskillz
(0)Isn't it proven that bigger women are happier anyway or something? Like size 16s (England) are the happiest women?? I dunno, may not be true, but that's what I've heard.
#83 - On 09/21/2009 at 1:56pm by SmileandWave
(+2)Last year I dumped my bf because of several reasons, one of which he kept calling me fat and making fun of my weight (I'm male). Over the spring I got super sick and lost 30 pounds (putting me underweight for my age) and suddenly he thinks I'm more attractive. People who like others just because of their size should just be with other shallow people like them. People who expect women to look like the magazines and tv shows are unrealistic and idiotic.
(+1)Fuck you. It's probably from the emotional stress you put on her
#86 - On 12/07/2009 at 1:25am by HidingInThePages
(-1)and when she says: get me more food you do... get another gf and a life
#88 - On 12/16/2009 at 9:47pm by me5
(0)It depends on how tall she is for her clothing size.
I'm 5'6/5'7 and I wear size 7-9 because my legs are long and my torso is short. And I have an average body for someone my height.
You should love someone for who they are, not just what they look like. Sometimes people won't realize they gain weight because of distractions, like being in a relationship for an example. If you still aren't happy with what she looks like, why not encourage her to be more active? Be active with her.
(-1)Damn. Partially your fault for letting her let herself go so far. Just one more thing that makes me appreciate my nutrition major gf =]
#93 - On 02/03/2010 at 3:55pm by Soaringmuse
(+1)Honestly, the guys a douche.
I'm 5'4" & am naturally curvy & my size mainly depends on where you buy the cloths from because some places, Holister, are cut ridiculously small. Furthermore, society thinks that being a twig is normal & i dont believe that one f*cking bit. Marlyn Monroe was a 12 and people still find her beautiful. Scarlet Johanson isnt that tiny either but she is still beautiful and so is Jessica Alba. There are curvier actresses out there that people find sexy that dont conforn to twiggy bs.
So what if her weight changed. For all we know this could have been gradual as the relationship moved on. You dont even know what the reasons are & if your going to judge her because she has gained a little weight then your a douche and even more of one for complaining about it. My weight has changed as i've gotten older a few times. It has nothing to do with my boyfriends eating habits or anything.
Don't use the excuse of her gaining weight just because you dont want to buy her clothing. She's just asking you to do something nice. Its not like she is asking you to buy a whole new wardrobe for her.
(0)I'm a size 2, but it's just how I was made. I'm very athletic and active, which is why I'm small...but I think 12 is too big. Maybe you should try excercising or cooking together?
I don't think it's right for anyone to let themselves become that big..
Get fatter, America...
#95 - On 03/20/2010 at 10:45pm by GreenDayRHCP
(0)A size 10 to 12 is the average size of a women but since most models are a size 0 to 2 do to eating disorders many women are compared to them. Hell, Marlilyn Monroe was actually a size 16 and she was a very disirable women in her day. Seriously, to you want a woman that you have to tie to a wooden stake just to have sex with her?
(0)and a size 4 and I'm definitely not skinny. stop being a dick bc it's wats on the inside that really matters. go to the gym with her or something? antiflood
(0)if she's the one gaining weight, i'd say F**k her life, not yours. its probably your fault shes getting bigger.
