Today, I realized that the most romantic thing that my boyfriend and I have done in the last month is comb lice out of each other's hair. FML
I agree, your life sucks (18950) - you totally deserved it (6465)

It's not that bad, Obviously there just hobo's who both have chosen live that way. Sometimes you pick up some bugs on the road....No biggie. But you both should go for a walk with out your pack aww Xx

hey, thats not too bad. Look on the brightside, you cannot get pregnant from doing that. Plus, all monkeys everywhere would love reading this.
Yeah, I bet there's an ape couple somewhere loving this.
They're both sitting next to each other at the computer, looking for romantic ape stories, hoping to find a way to rekindle the flame, and they came across this FML, giving them the inspiration to rekindle their old world monkey love.

Some girls complain they don't get enough attention from their mate.

You should be thankful that the lice were willing to spice up your love life. By the way, I think you mean crabs. You cant get more intimate than combing each others pubes.
#11 - On 11/11/2009 at 8:58pm by seanreddog
You know, apes consider this to be a loving gesture. Shame on you for not appreciating it.
Next time, go the extra mile and eat the lice :]
#12 - On 11/11/2009 at 8:59pm by MermaidSongXOXO
I know! Methinks the OP is a half-empty kind of girl ]:
BTW - Just looked at your profile and your age surprised me. You're a smart cookie which probably explains why you picked a wise place to live. I feel bad for the folks who are currently sabotaging future options with last night's incriminating photos and whatnot. Durn MyFace, etc.
Take notes, little ones :]
Well, lice sometimes happens when Tupi work with little children. but the intimacy issues can be resolved if you meet each other half way. Romance can come and go out relationship, if he's not willing to try you two shouldn't be together..Good luck!!
#18 - On 11/11/2009 at 9:16pm by JellyMelly
You can fix this relationship if you both meet half way, if he's not willing to try then maybe you shouldn't be together.

Do you realize head lice actually prefer CLEAN hair? Dirty hair is as nasty for them as it is to us!
#43 - On 11/11/2009 at 10:27pm by hornetchik
I'm pretty sure she's talking about lobsters. MUCH more painful. And sexy.
#29 - On 11/11/2009 at 9:37pm by seanreddog
Surprise him with simething romantic to get things on track. And for everyone else yeah lice are disgusting but they only like clean healthy hair so at least you know your clean.
#31 - On 11/11/2009 at 9:40pm by aBaCdEfGhIjKlMnO
How is this an FML? Maybe she could start something? Be at least happy you have a boyfriend.
#34 - On 11/11/2009 at 9:57pm by comanderfps
..and how's the zit-poppin' working out? If you really want to take it to the hawt zone you should chew his food for him and regurgitate it down his throat, MamaBirdee :]
There's no shame in getting headlice- only keeping it. That's what my mom used to say. And its true. I bet one of you has grade school age siblings who gave it to you.

If you want to do something romantic, then do something romantic. :P Or are you expecting your boyfriend to put in all the work and *know* what you expect him to plan?
Its not really 'stupid girls', more that society as a whole has been forcing this image upon women since the ages of the silver screen. With the advent of the television, its only more reinforcement of this ideal. Not to mention families passing it down through the generations, 'How I met your mother/father/brother/sister/ape' stories.
Rethink your wording of what you stated before telling someone to 'grow up'. Statements such as that only make you appear to be an anonymous internet ass. Grab a thesaurus! Spice that post up!
Lice like clean hair, so they both must be fairly hygienic people!
#77 - On 11/12/2009 at 2:25am by hornetchik
You should let him stick it in your pooper! Nothing says Romance like some good old fasioned hard-core butt sex!!!!!!
#61 - On 11/12/2009 at 12:08am by grrrarrrg2
Clearly you two have been together too long XD Now that you've realized it, go do something romantic already!
#67 - On 11/12/2009 at 12:53am by marshmallowmouse
that's nasty you two need to stop acting like apes and get out there and DO SOMETHING CIVILIZED!
#69 - On 11/12/2009 at 1:22am by LostSoul81
Haha, that's actually kind of sweet.
Through thick and thin.
#70 - On 11/12/2009 at 1:28am by DameGreyWulf
Effing DUH! Who the hell else would do it for you?!
#73 - On 11/12/2009 at 2:06am by SarcasticAvenger
have you tried seeing a doctor about that lice shit, you could get crabs as well...unless you already have them....well just shave frequently, and take planty of showers. I would segest one a day if not two.
#81 - On 11/12/2009 at 3:27am by bikeduster
If you don't think you've done enough romantic things lately, instead of whinge about it, go do something romantic! Only a month isn't that big of a deal, anyway. It's not like you have to do something romantic every single week.
As for lice, it happens. And actually, brushing it out of each other's hair is probably more romantic than you think. That's how monkeys bond, you know.
Actually, lice will choose clean hair over dirty hair, so "taking plenty of showers" probably wouldn't do much difference in that regard.
Keeping it brushed, on the other hand, does help.
ok, has anyone stopped to consider that maybe the OP has a job? possibly as an elementary school teacher or something of that capacity? kids bring lice to school. lice happens. My fiance and I have diametrically opposed schedules. we've been together for 5 years. It's so not about romance. romance doesn't last and it can't be forced. It's about discovering those moments that are unique to your relationship- what keeps you coming back to that person; that in of itself is romantic.
#84 - On 11/12/2009 at 7:09am by KarelessKitten
sry, i also meant to say that it's not pathetic. it's everyday life and not a FML. shit happens.
#85 - On 11/12/2009 at 7:15am by KarelessKitten
Better lice than scabies?
Try to be more romantic? And if you guys can't work it out, well, then you're obviously just bored with eachother and need to call it quits.
#86 - On 11/12/2009 at 7:40am by xOpheliacx
For some reason, I get a mental image of two apes sitting next to each other, picking bugs out of each others fur.
Which hair? Upstairs or downstairs? At least they weren't crotch crickets. Those suckers are persistent.
YDI for being a disgusting slob of a person. Lice? Really?
*pukes*
#90 - On 11/12/2009 at 1:15pm by ozymandias
uhm, lice actually goes to clean hair. not dirty. so maybe if they were a disgusting slob or didn't shampoo they wouldn't have lice. hmm. so let's drop that one. but regardless, it takes two people to have a romantic night. so why don't you just tell him that you want to do something nice? thats what i do. sometimes you gotta wear the pants in the relationship. as my boyfriend says "i can't read your mind!" haha.
#91 - On 11/12/2009 at 1:36pm by fuckingshitt343
I'm sorry, but *clean* people don't have lice. Period. Having lice means you are a disgusting slob for getting them in the first place.
#94 - On 11/12/2009 at 3:45pm by ozymandias
#94 How the hell do you work that one out? I don't know what you learned growing up, but lice don't magically appear in 'disgusting slobs'' heads. They get there from other people who have lice, and if they work around children it's easy to get them.
It doesn't make you disgusting for having them - but if they weren't combing them and getting rid of them, then, and only then would they be disgusting.
And lice do prefer clean hair, it's quite easy to catch them...so there goes your 'clean people don't get lice theory'...hrm.
OP - Mm...romantic...is this foreplay for some wild monkey sex or something? But I have to say, if you feel like there's no romance, then do something about it.
#99 - On 11/12/2009 at 5:57pm by averagexbecca
oh my god thank you #99. #94, and all the other people saying that OP and her boyfriend are dirty are just morons. you learn in like the 3rd grade about lice. when i was in elementary school we had lice checks like all the time. and once you are old enough you like remember things like learning that lice prefers cleanliness over dirtiness. why don't you guys google it or something.
#100 - On 11/12/2009 at 6:50pm by fuckingshitt343
Ok, it's a simple concept: while lice might like hair that is clean more than they like hair that is dirty -- *having lice* makes otherwise clean hair disgusting and dirty. Period.
I might have clean shoes -- other than the inch think cake of dog crap on the bottoms -- but it's that inch think cake of dog crap that makes them dirty.
#112 - On 11/18/2009 at 10:39am by ozymandias
Then go do something romantic. If just being together isn't enough for you two, you probably don't work out for each other anyways.
Actually, grooming each other is an excellent way of developing strong and intimate social bonds. Primates do this as well.
Have you ever thought of living in the jungle with the monkeys?
#101 - On 11/12/2009 at 8:50pm by sincerelyautumn
i could say something mean, but i wont... cuz im not
#105 - On 11/13/2009 at 4:12am by KCID_GIB_ATTOGi
Uhm, that's weird. Like really, make passionate love or something, fine, but louse removal?
Sickooooo.
#106 - On 11/13/2009 at 11:56am by princessjane
