Today, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML

Today, I finally gave my mum an expensive designer dress I spent months saving to buy for her as she had been very depressed. However she has gained so much weight from stress eating she ripped it when trying to put it on, and now won't talk to me because, "I wanted to make her feel fat". FML
Today, my dad informed me that my prom dress makes me look chubby from the side, gives me "back fat", and that I wouldn't want to go to prom looking like that. I tried to ignore his hurtful comments and tell myself I was beautiful. Then the clasp broke. FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML
Today, while having dinner with my boyfriend's family, his mom told me that it looks like I've gained quite some weight. When my boyfriend told her that this was a rude thing to say, she said it wasn't rude, just the truth. FML
Today, my sister told me she didn’t want me in her wedding pictures because I looked fat in my bridesmaid's dress. FML
Today, I bought my fiancée a dress for her birthday. She accused me of saying she was fat, because I bought it in medium rather than small. After trying on the dress, she's now not only mad at me for buying it, but also because the dress fits perfectly. FML
Today, I finally told my mom that it hurts me every time she calls me fat. She got offended that I'm offended. Now our whole entire extended family wants me to say sorry to her and them, because apparently they also call me fat behind my back. I'm a size small by the way. FML
Today, feeling very self-conscious about my looks, I told my mom I felt ugly and wished I could be as beautiful as her. She only said, "Yeah, I'm pretty, I wonder what happened to you." FML
Today, I was trying on wedding dresses with my future sister-in-law who is a little bigger than me. We tried on a similar dress and she said it looked better on me because I'm skinny. Instead of saying, "No way" or "It looks great on you", I accidentally said, "Yeah, I know." FML
Today, I went in to pick my wedding dress. My fiancé's ex-girlfriend was my consultant. She basically hinted that I looked fat in every dress. FML

Better now than at the wedding.

Honesty is the best policy. She could've been nicer about it, but you can still try on plenty more dresses to find the one you LOVE instead of the one you LIKE ;)

I agree. Sure, the mother could be nicer about it, but I'd rather people be honest about how an outfit looks on me than lie and tell me I always look good when I don't.

People need to become masters at the form of communication called TACT. It's goal is to balance truth and kindness in harmony. like kung fu, but better

honestly, the truth really doesn't need to come out EVERY time. ( and when I mean truth, I mean the mother's opinion ). I hope what she's said doesn't keep you from having a happy wedding OP.

That's rude. Sorry OP, but don't stoop to her level, just raise above it and keep your chin up.

Show her the wrath of Bridezilla. That should shut her up.

that's something more frightening than a horror movie! "IM THE BRIDE!!"

wow... that's more than a little cruel. I wonder if she's always like that. your fiance thinks you are beautiful, and beauty does NOT come in one size. your mother needs to learn some ******* tact and get some maturity. I'm sorry one of the special parts of your upcoming wedding was ruined by rudeness

You can tell someone that the dress doesn't suit them without being insulting.
