Today, this guy who likes me accused me of cutting myself. I asked him what he was talking about, and he said, "Don't lie, I saw those scars on your thighs when we went swimming." I have stretch marks on my inner thighs, and now I have to explain them to him so he doesn't think I cut myself. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boyfriend noticed dark lines that look like scars on my inner thighs. He confronted me about them, thinking I was cutting myself, and now wants me to see a therapist because he thinks I'm suicidal. They're stretch marks. He won't believe me. FML
Today, a man stopped me on the street. He said the stretch marks on my thighs looked like cuts, and asked me if I self-harmed. Before I was able to politely respond "No", he said, "I mean, I can see why you would." FML
Today, I had a rubber band around my wrist for too long, and it ended up leaving faint red marks around my wrist. My mom saw them, thought they were scars, and is now convinced I'm a cutter, "like the ones I've seen on the news," and won't believe my story. FML
Today, my brother saw my side when my shirt came up, and asked when I got a tattoo; the pink he saw was in fact my stretch marks. Worst of all, I had to show them to everyone to prove I didn't actually get a tattoo. FML
Today, after feeling a little down about myself and looking for comfort from my boyfriend, he told me that my stretch marks make me look like a tiger. FML
Today, I was called by the counselor to discuss my "issues". She told me that other students had reported to her that they saw scars on my arms. I don't cut, I just have a hormonal and aggressive parrot who sees me as his personal tree. FML
Today, I have a skin disease that causes my arms and legs to have small, but noticeable, red bumps on them. Trying to stay confident, I put on a swimsuit and went to the pool, only to be bumped into by a cute guy, who then asked why my arms were so "bumpy and disgusting." FML
Today, while talking to my boyfriend, I noticed he looked uncomfortable. When I asked what was wrong, he asked when the last time I shaved was. I answered, "I shaved my legs this morning." He shook his head and said, "No, I meant your face." FML
Today, my boyfriend noticed a bruise on my hip. Apparently, he would rather believe I'm cheating on him, rather that I'm terribly clumsy at work. FML
Today, I was asked why I have stretch marks when I’m skinny. The stretch marks are from when I was recovering anorexic. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Cutting yourself on your inner thigh seems inordinately risky...something you'd think at least twice about before assuming. He sounds like a douchebag anyway.

One of my boyfriends was horrified when he saw my stretch marks, which really are not that bad compared to other girls. I explained to him what they were, and he felt so bad because he assumed that it must have hurt to leave such a scar. Boys can be very silly.

don't tell him. he's a freak anyway for watching your inner thighs while swimming.

I ALSo have stretch marks on my under thighs. it's very embarrassing. only one of my friends have em though & she tans really dark so hers go away. unfortunately I don't tan & I stay pale white year round. anyway. yes they are embarrassing. but embrace them. god made us the way he wanted us to look. nobody's perfect! :)

Bless ye - if you lost weight to get from an unhealthy size to a healthy size, good for you! Don't be worried about explaining them. Same goes for if they're the result of a growth spurt - it's life, it happens. He should understand. Google 'stretchmarks' for him to prove your point. I have a whole load of stretchmarks myself - they're not so bad and I promise you they eventually fade. Mine are skin tone now, in fact :)

That's kinda creepy that he was looking so closely. Or at least a creepy thing for him to admit. That's what you should have told him. But I feel ya on being self conscious about stretch marks, I have them too and hate wearing shorts or bathing suits..
