Today, my extremely in-shape boyfriend told me he hasn't had a chance to work out lately. I jokingly poked him in the belly saying he's getting chunky and winked. He burst into tears. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was together with a few of my friends when I got up the courage to confess I have an eating disorder. One of my friends then said "... but you're not skinny." FML
Today, while sitting next to me, my boyfriend sent a text to one of his "friends" saying, "I'm thinking of you." FML
Today, at the gym, I saw this really pretty girl. Trying to impress her, I started lifting with heavy weights. One of the weights slipped out of my hand. I then dropped the other one, trying to make it seem like it was on purpose. I dropped the weight on my phone. I squealed. She giggled. FML
Today, my husband and I were talking about celebrities he finds attractive. All of these beautiful, talented, glamorous women were starting to make me feel very plain, so he attempted to console me by saying, "But I love you. You're attainable!" FML
Today, I realized that my boyfriend is so obsessed with tickling me that my body has developed a conditioned response. Now I flinch every time he touches me, no matter what we're doing. FML
Today, as always, my boyfriend has the ability to pop his eyeballs out of his eye sockets. He thought it'd be funny for me to wake up face-to-face with the disgusting sight. The shit in my bowels did an early Thanksgiving Day parade straight into my underwear. FML
Today, my best friend told me she was pregnant over the phone. While in the middle of telling her congrats, she told me it was with my boyfriend. FML
Today, I told my grandma my boyfriend had cheated on me. She told me that it was my fault for not straightening my hair, and for gaining a few pounds. FML
Today, we had a sprint race in gym class that I wasn't looking forward to because I'm a little chubby. The race started and I shot off as fast as I could, somehow in the lead. Everyone was cheering. When I was nearing the finish line I turned around, only to see the race hadn't started yet. FML
Today, I spent some time in a sunbed to prepare myself for a very special reunion with my boyfriend, who I haven't seen in 6 months. I hope he likes crispy red butt-cheeks, and I wonder whether they will start peeling before or after he returns. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's funny how if this was a guy doing it to his girlfriend, people would be insulting OP to no end.. Instead people are mocking the boyfriend. No one likes being called chunky, or fat. Especially if he's one of those people who work really, really hard on their bodies.

You're a bitch. Apparently being in shape means a lot to him. Plus what you teased him about was a lie. Maybe he used to be overweight growing up and you just brought back the memories. Either way, the whole thing makes you look shallow.

Woah, calm down. OP was joking, get a sense of humor.

But 51 was kind of right. Tragically you have to be careful about joking with these things. Self image issues are a serious thing.

If their self image issues are that severe, they shouldn't really be dating anyone. You should always learn to love yourself before loving someone else :b

what i was going to comment, word for word.

Yes 68 you're right, but these people have super warped senses of reality. From your point this might be the most logical thing to do, but he obviously doesn't have this mentality. Look up body dysmorphic disorder :/. Not saying the OP's boyfriend has a serious mental disability, but he could.

I don't necessarily agree. You can successfully be with someone while working on your own issues. Besides it's nice to have support while you're working on them.

154- yes, you absolutely CAN. I didn't say you can't. I just think it makes the relationship a hell of a lot more difficult. And your significant other might not always understand your problem and be able to support you. I used to have issues with the way I looked and my boyfriend just did not understand because he didn't see the issues I did. Therefore, he wasn't really 'supportive' because he thought I was being ridiculous for thinking like that in the first place. Insecurities just add tension to a relationship, really. Yeah, you CAN date someone while being insecure, but it's harder.

So Murphy, if it had been a guy calling his girlfriend fat, how would you have reacted? Because I know it wouldn't be the same way you just did, defending the girlfriend.

poor guy. clearly nobody realizes that it may be possible *gasp* that guys are self conscious just like girls.

still, dude needs to get a sense of humor. I feel self-conscious all the time, but I don't burst into tears when someone jokingly pokes fun at me. and you know how emotional we girls always are. ;D jk
