Today, I asked my boyfriend if he'd still like me if I shaved my head. He told me it wouldn't matter to him, and I called him a liar. Then he said, "Well my mom died of cancer six months ago, so I'm sort of used to it." FML

well, honestly i kind of think it was a low blow on his account. she didnt know, so it wasnt really fair for him to be an ass about it. or be so insensitive. yes, its really sad that his mom died. but it wasnt fair for him to tell her like that.

for those of you who are saying that "why do girls ask dumb questions" it could have been a joke, you dont know the whole story, what if they had just seen a girl with a shaved head and the conversation came up?

and for those of you giving her a hard time about not knowing, well, maybe he just handnt told her, or it hasnt come up untill now.

still, i think its lame that he told her this way. it was unnecesarry, i bet she felt totally horrible after she asked him.

Maybe he felt that calling him a liar was a bit insensitive, too?

I think the "don't ask dumb questions" bit was really good advice. Seriously, it is. Girls have a tendency to play games like that, until the guy says something say can be feel offended by. Your guy will realize that he has been trapped, and he won't like it. It's really bad for a relationship in the long term.

@ Geniusman16: I've seen a lot of your posts, and I've noticed that your posts can be one of two:

1) Very intelligent and well thought-out
2) Totally narrow-minded and downright rude

Although most of your comments are in the 1st group, that comment belonged to the 2nd group.

People don't go around on their first date telling their boy/girlfriends that their mum died of cancer. Yes, clearly this boy and girl weren't going out for long, and that's why she didn't know. It was just unfortunate that she said this.

#12, you are absolutely correct: for the first part. Geniusman sometimes (rarely) does seem to have intelligent remarks and this is one of them (to be honest: most of them are incredibly ridiculous).

OP: YDI for not knowing about the guy beforehand and for being so obsessed with looks that you can't believe a guy who likes you for reasons other than your looks (for what that is I cannot say, cause clearly there is not much there). DON'T FISH FOR COMPLIMENTS!

#17 - you're right on so many levels that I have nothing to say... except that you're right.

While I don't understand how the OP could NOT know this about a guy she CALLS her boyfriend, I guess it could somehow happen. But the whole asking-a-question-there's-no-good-answer-to is SO annoying. Why do girls do that?

#12 my point was not to say that people should go around telling people their mom died on the first date. My point was that you should get to know someone BEFORE the first date. Or at least before calling them your Boyfriend. Knowing that their mom died would seem to be something that you would find out. But maybe that's just me.

Alright that's fair, i feel bad for being rude to you now... but yeah, in answer to your question, it is just you. A lot of people do meet other people in a club/bar or something, so don't actually know them before they start dating. You may not agree with it, but that's what happens.

#76 You're completely right.

His mom probably died before they started dating.

My ex boyfriend, i didnt know his younger brother died until one day I went shopping and saw a woman with 7 kids each of them looked like they were Just born 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 (im serious) and i was telling him about it in the store pointing it out he agreed and told me his mom tried to do that. I looked at him confused and asked tried? said that his mom had a kid after him but died when he was younger so now its just him and his brother that was a year younger then the one that died.

Just because someone died dont mean they have to tell their bf/gf right away. It's not going to be on their mind 24/7 most people try to block stuff like that out. And just dont want to have sad conversations like that with their bf/gf.

I think people are being stupid about the OP not knowing. Most people don't find out stuff like this about their boy/girlfriends until maybe the fourth date or something. It's not her fault for not knowing, just because she hasn't been going out with this guy for very long.

Still, I think you deserve it, OP. It's stupid when girls ask unanswerable questions like that.

You were basically looking for an excuse to bitch at him; if he says he wouldn't then all he cares about is your appearance, but when he tells you it doesn't matter to him you call him a liar. Fuck.

How do you not know that about someone you're seeing exclusively enough to call them your boyfriend?

While calling him a liar was a cunt move, you're an even bigger cunt for doing it after a trap question, making it obvious that there was no right answer in the first place. Guys are better off without girls that do that.

I would have said the same thing, tbh. But...probably joking...and idk if you were joking or not.

However, his mom and his gf are different. While it may not bother him to have lived with his mom without hair, it may bother him to have a gf with no hair. So, maybe he was lying. It sucks that your trap question lead to that response though!!! Awkward and sad :(

Seriously - any boy that doesn't mind it when you shave your head is a keeper. I shaved my head a couple of years ago, also partly because my mom died of cancer, and although back then we were only friends, the fact that he supported me and didn't consider me a freak of nature is just another sign of how awesome he is.

I want to assume the best and say when you called him a liar it was a joke, but to echo #20...YDI for loaded questions.

Woah #28, did you even understand the problem? Your perception of relationships is frightening!

#40 - On 07/18/2009 at 3:17pm by amandawins

(0)

#40: How is my "perception of relationships 'frightening'?" I understand the problem, that her saying that lead to her finding out that his mom had cancer, thus was bald from the chemo, and then died from it. So her saying "You're lying!" was pretty much foot-in-mouth. Is there a deeper problem that I'm missing here? Does he, too, have cancer? I'm not seeing your point.

Moms and gfs ARE different. Just because a guy is "used to it" and not bothered by his mom being bald doesn't mean he would be with his gf being bald, even if he says it. Whether she was joking or not, maybe he WAS lying. We don't know what he's really like.

#52 - On 07/18/2009 at 4:27pm by nikki1001

(0)

It's the whole second point that I don't get. It's the emphasis on whether moms and gfs are different - of course they are. It seems really strange to read that fml, and even consider the acceptability of being bald or not - it's just not the point. By pointing out that the two relationships are very different, it puts the emphasis on the bf's perception. What would he say - oh, no, my mom died of cancer, and she looked fugly without hair? Obviously, looks do matter somewhat, but if a haircut deserves a serious relationship discussion, then fyl.

#67 - On 07/18/2009 at 5:28pm by amandawins

(-1)

I don't see how this is an FML. But I hate most of the comments from people on this one so I'll comment myself :3

It sounds like he wouldn't have a problem with it, so he obviously isn't obsessed with looks - good thing. To those slating her for apparently fishing for compliments and caring too much about appearance... all she asked was for his opinion. Believe it or not, there ARE jerks (you guys) out there who would dump someone over something like that. Luckily for her, he's not one of those guys.

Also to all the people slating them for not knowing about his mother.. maybe they've only been dating a couple of months and he hasn't told her yet? Not everyone knows EVERY little detail about their boyfriend/girlfriend in the first week y'know. If it was only six months ago, chances are it's still a touchy subject. Maybe she hasn't thought to ask why his mum isn't around, it's not unusual these days - and most people I know would wait until they're told incase it is because of cancer or something. He hasn't wanted to tell her yet so stop slating her already.

Sheesh.

#41 - On 07/18/2009 at 3:17pm by purple5

(+1)

Firstly - you have no more of an idea on the subject than we do. So stop slating us and being all high and mighty.

Secondly - I can understand if it was a short way into a relationship - but surely after a month or so they would have at least breached the subject, if not met parents? Dunno.

#45 - On 07/18/2009 at 3:34pm by moleSG

You're full of shit, #41. People are slating her because she first took the immature low road of asking a loaded question, and after her boyfriend gave the (guaranteed to be) wrong answer, she bitches at him like all girls do when they ask loaded questions. It has absolutely nothing to do with guys being shallow, because shallow or not, the answer is wrong and the girl feels like she's earned the right to chew him out for whichever negative trait his answer indicates.

The cancer thing only made it worse. Trap questions are about as juvenile and snotty a woman can get without starting a fight right off the bat, and most guys naturally despise women who do that. Fortunately not all girls are like that.

It's pretty obvious you're a veteran compliment fisher and trap baiter, seeing as you defend the practice.

Actually #86, you don't even really know if she was intentionally asking a "loaded question" or not, she could have quite easily have been joking. Not ALL girls who ask questions like that are asking loaded ones; sometimes we joke around too.
I'm also not defending her, since for all I know, she COULD have been asking an annoying loaded question.

To that end, I have to ask, where's the humor in asking someone if they'd still like you if you shaved your head?

It's hard to entertain the idea that it wasn't a loaded question and just playing around just because of all spontaneous silly things to ask, that's not particularly amusing. (I'm easily amused, also, and would have given an equally silly response to a question that wasn't a blatant trap.)

you're a terrible girlfriend..you should hv known about tht..
plus only stupid girls ask questions like "will you still like me if ____________________" and then get mad when he gives you an answer..whether he was honest or not..

My question is...why would you ask a hypothetical question just to start an argument? If he said no, you would've called him shallow, and when he practically said yes, you called him a liar.

Don't ask random hypothetical questions if either answer doesn't satisfy you.

Damn girl, why ask a question when either answer is going to piss you off? You must either new dating him, all about yourself, or insensitive to not have any idea about he mother. YDI, even without his mother part.

maybe because this is fake, I'm sure he would have told her. and it just depends on how long they have been together and maybe she just forgot and said something stupid.

#74 - On 07/18/2009 at 6:12pm by danimani

(0)

I don't think he necessarily would have told her. If they have only been together for a month or so she may not have been introduced to her family and he may not have found it necessary to mention that his mom died. Maybe he was finally happy and getting over the death of his mom and didn't want to relive it by bringing it up to his g/f. It most definetly isn't OPs fault for not knowing. And for all the people saying she deserves it for asking a question that didn't have a right answer.. I think she was jokingly calling him a liar. Some people do play around and tease each other than way.

Bitch. Try to find out information like that before you do stupid shit like that.

#79 - On 07/18/2009 at 6:28pm by Cupcake10

(0)

It is possible that the OP and the guy haven't been together very long, and since six months is so recent, he is probably still grieving and maybe wasn't quite ready to mention it (until, of course, the time came up that she asked the question)..

However, to the OP- you asked a question, and you got a good answer. The dude was left with a no-win situation- if he said no, then obviously it would upset you because that would mean he likes you predominantly for your looks. But he said it doesn't matter, and you harassed him about it. I'm sorry that had to be the way you had to find out though, and I know if I were in your place I'd feel really bad about it.

What do you mean do stupid stuff like this? Who on earth thinks that much before they speak...NO-ONE. Maybe their relationship is 3 days old. And it's the boyfriend's fault for not telling her. What is she supposed to say 'so any of your family died from cancer?'. I don't think so. Don't get the so many YDI's.

...but if he'd said he wouldn't still like you, you'd be pissed. You just called him a liar to trick him into declaring his undying love for you, because chicks like you need to constantly stroke your own ego and revieve validation of yourselves through others. God, you give females a bad name. YDI, you insensitive bitch.

I put both FYL and YDI.

Let's say the OP thought she knew everything about her BF because he chose not to discuss this particular topic. It's a pretty crap way to find out about it... but, that would be his fault.

But, if the OP was just ignorant because she failed to inquire about his family... then she totally deserves it.

It is girls like you that give all women a bad name. Gods, don't be such a bitch. If you ask a question and he answered, don't jump over him saying he's lying if it is an answer that you didn't expect. You purposely worded that question so he was screwed no matter what he said - because no answer would satisfy you!

And it is because of women like this that I had to weedle what my boyfriend had wanted to ask a few nights ago out of him. Gods.

YDI... most women with shaved heads are either battling cancer or did so in support of a loved one facing the disease. Even if you didn't know about his mom, it's a sensitive subject.

Next time you ask him "will you still date me if..." make sure it's not a hairstyle usually associated with a terminal illness.

See, now i feel like this is one of those things the MIGHT come up in conversation if you care at all about the person you're dating. I mean, 6 months is not that long ago, and obvi you werent together then, but....really, you didnt care enough to ask him about his mother....or are you just that dumb that you forgot? either way....Totally DI

I can't see much OP info on my iPhone, but... the OP's name is Lars. Isn't that a guy's name? I hate loaded questions just as much as anyone, but they can come from both sexes.

However I do agree that regardless of gender you should know info like this before dating him, or at least ask enough questions about his family to figure out that it's a sensitive topic. If he didn't want to talk about it, fine, but that'd be a pretty easy thing to discover in a non-threatening, get-to-know-you way.

I dislike loaded questions, even when they're teasing.
There's better ways to joke around without risking a fight.

Immediately accusing her for being a terrible girlfriend for not knowing isn't fair either though. My dad was in the army and was killed a few years ago, and almost none of my boyfriends have known about it. It's just not something I care to share. If it comes up, yeah I'll tell them, but I try to change subject as soon as possible. It's my choice for them not to know; it in no way means that they're terrible boyfriends. As was previously said, it's not unusual for people to live in one-parent households.

This is so lame and not an FML at all. You didn't say anything offensive, like "I don't blame you if you say no, it's fucking ugly and freaky when a woman's bald!" and it doesn't sound like he was offended either.

All you had to do is say "Oh I'm so sorry" and support him and listen to him. I hate all these people on here who are so socially awkward that if a conversation doesn't go completely according to plan, they freak the fuck out, don't know what to do, and hate their lives.

YDI for being such an insecure bitch that you have to resort to the underhanded tactic of loaded questions to get compliments. Not because you didn't know his mom died of cancer.


Jesus H. Christ on a friggin' show-pony, you guys! My dad died, and I don't go around telling everyone I meet! Most people don't know until about four or five months after they meet me, because by that point it's a little weird if I don't go to 'visit Dad' like divorce kids do. So quit saying she deserves it for the sole reason that she didn't know.
