Today, for my two month anniversary, my boyfriend surprised me with a "present". He then lifted his pant leg. He had carved my initials into his leg with a knife. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, as a 1 year anniversary present, my boyfriend let me see and wear my engagement ring. He then made me give it back at the end of the day. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 2 years took me to get a tattoo done with his name on. He paid for it. After it was done he told me it was over between us and he thought it'd be a nice reminder of him for me. FML
Today, my boyfriend presented me with a 30-minute montage video of him working out and flexing his muscles as my anniversary gift. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me the painting he had been working on. It was a heart with wings, my name, and the date we started dating. We have been dating for almost a year and a half. He misspelled my name. FML
Today, my boyfriend, who is also a coworker, proposed to me in the parking of the store we work at when it was dark out. He came up behind me, and, thinking it was some creep, I stabbed him with my car keys. The scar will alway help him remember our engagement. FML
Today, during dinner, my boyfriend slowly walked up next to me, got on one knee, and in one movement pointed at my feet and shouted, "WHAT ARE THOSE?!" FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend what he'd think of me getting his initials tattooed over my heart. "That's awesome, babe," he answered enthusiastically. "But could you get them on your ass instead?" FML
Today, my fiancé freaked when he noticed the tattoo on my wrist, and demanded to know when I got it. It was two years before we even started dating. FML
Today, is my boyfriend and my 3 year anniversary. We decided to give each other something that we really needed. I bought him the $300 worth of books that he needed for college. He surprised me with a workout video and exercise equipment. FML
Today, my tattoo artist boyfriend of five months gave me my first tattoo in celebration of my 18th birthday. It was supposed to be a heart with my name in script. He spelled my name wrong. FML

Ummmm, although the thought is nice, I think a tree or a rock would have been a more aproprate canvas. I think I would really worrie about dating a guy that carves himself.

RUN. Run fast, and far. Dye your hair, change your name. That is a bad, bad, sign.

Here's the thing, this is not an FML or a YDI, actually. Your boyfriend isn't a "psycho," but he does have a mental illness. He's a cutter, and that's an unhealthy symptom of an underlying illness. Mental illness is chronic, just like diabetes or cancer, and his recovery will be life-long. His first step to recovery is to seek help and to be evalutated by a psychologist. Until he chooses to seek treatment, either by reaching out to friends and family first or going to see a doctor, there is little you can do to help him. He has a long, difficult, and lonely road ahead of him as many of the comments here prove. If you want to talk to him about his cutting, do so in a very "I'm not judging you, I just want to listen" manner. Be aware that if he is not in treatment that, depending on his illness, he could be emotionally volital and if he doesn't want to talk do not force him. He could also become very defensive. Be aware that this is his issue and has nothing to do with you. He may project it onto you, however; but as I said cutting is caused by illness. Mental illness is a bio-chemical problem in the brain and nervous system. He will most likely require both medication and cognitive therapy to go into remission. He may not want to hear anything about an illness or needing to see a doctor. This is not something you can fix or force on him, but because he is harming himself it is a problem that needs to be addressed. However, since you have only been dating for 2 months it may not be something he's ready to share with you or ask for your help. As other's have said, if he may show violence toward you. This is not necessarily true, but something to be aware of. No violence should be forced upon you and it is not acceptable, illness or no. You are at a point right now where you need to decide if this relationship is something you wish to continue. It will not be an easy road if you stay with him and if he is violent toward you, do not stay with him period. You have a very difficult task ahead of you.

Pretty much this. Not all factually correct, but the sentiment is right!

not all mental illnesses are life long. he could have a personality disorder which can be completely reversed with therapy. people with personality disorders are usually dependent and it sounds like he might be.

I'm more disturbed by the people replying to this saying they've done that, they've had friends do that, they don't see the problem... really, people? You think this is normal and good? Obviously, these people have no perspective on the situation and they aren't able to see that in ten years that scar will still be there, and therefore a memory of that time will still be there. I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to still deal with crap from when I was in my teens/twenties when I'm 30+. And for the girl with the boyfriend who does this: RUN. I totally get #11's point with trying to help him with his obvious issues and trying to understand his side of it, but as ruthless as this sounds, get the hell out before you're together for long because the longer you're with someone, the harder it is to leave. And if this guys is seriously this messed-up, if you stay with him, your life will become messed-up as a result.

Well there are many ways you can look at this; in some ways its kind of like a tatoo, but not as pretty in the sense that it is a permanent design in the skin which is a bit painful to receive. Though cutting oneself is quite the social taboo isn't it. However, regardless of the act of cutting oneself this shows quite the possibility of obsession which you may want to leave from, though I would be careful how you proceed cause if you run like hell he may follow which becomes a messy tract regardless of what you do from there.
