Today, I completely shaved my head as a gesture for my boyfriend's mother, who was suffering from cancer and having a terrible time undergoing chemotherapy. Turns out she doesn't even have cancer, and my boyfriend thought I wouldn't have the guts to do it. FML

When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I shaved my head because I heard that one of my good friends got cancer. I went to visit her in the hospital. She's not bald. FML
Today, after I watched my girlfriend get her head shaved in preparation for chemo a few days ago, I took the clippers and buzzed my long, well kept hair, gave her a loving hug, reminding her that, "We're at this together." She later broke up with me because I, pretty much, "look like shit." FML
Today, it's the 3-month anniversary marking the day two friends and I shaved our heads as a show of solidarity for a friend starting chemo. Her prognosis is good and her hair only thinned slightly. We, on the other hand, look like a motley crew of lesbian biker chicks. FML
Today, I finally told my boyfriend I have a medical condition that makes me grow an unusual amount of hair on my face, so I shave every day. He said he was leaving me because he refuses to be with a "bearded lady". FML
Today, I slipped and gashed my head bad enough that my head had to be shaved to be sewn up. Right after it had finished growing back from chemotherapy. FML
Today, I brought my best friend to my uncle's birthday party. We were having a great time until my grandmother walked up to us and said to me, "You sure have a nice looking boyfriend." My friend is a girl. She has cancer and lost all of her hair due to chemotherapy. FML
Today, my long-term girlfriend broke up with me because my hair "falls out" and I "will definitely be bald soon", even though it's not that bad. The same girl who I supported through her chemotherapy and gave her promises that I would stay with her no matter how she looked. FML
Today, my daughter shaved her head in solidarity for a friend who went bald from cancer. Normally this would be an amazing gesture. Unfortunately, her “friend” is a fictional character from a book she’s reading. My daughter had almost 24-inch long hair. FML
Today, when I went out to get some groceries with my mother, a small girl came up to me and said I was an "ugly egg" because I'm a bald girl. I had to shave my head in order to have brain surgery to relieve me of the symptoms of my neurological disorder. FML
Today, I had an elderly woman come up to me and tell me how well I pull off the look of being bald. She said that most women can't look attractive without hair. Then she asked me if I had cancer. I had to explain to her that I am, in fact, a man, and I shave my head because I'm a swimmer. FML

Your boyfriend is a douche. Sorry OP.

Wow... If that's how he treats you then he obviously doesn't respect you or his mother by lying about her having such a terrible sickness... Get rid of him, OP.

That's rude, people shouldn't joke around with cancer or other diseases

I only have this to say: If you do decide to stay with him after he did something THAT shitty, DO NOT ******* procreate with that man. The dude is a grade-a douchecanoe.

Well you showed him that you had guts. I'm sure you got more guts than him.

It's still very amazing that you did that, OP. Cancer isn't something one should joke about though... your boyfriend (hopefully ex boyfriend) has no integrity or respect.

You're a total moron. Tell him to rub your head for a change.

Hey, girl, you've got balls. Cancer is not something to be bandied about, just because it's an illness most people have heard of, and you did a really nice thing there. Your boyfriend's mother should be able to respect that once she understands the situation, and it'll probably bring you closer together. Hopefully, however, you are plotting revenge on the boyfriend as we speak :).

Wow. I'm a huge asshole, Op, but that is going waaay too far for me even. You're a good person though, tell his mother and perhaps both of you can get back at him!
