Today, I discovered my boyfriend's family approves of me, not because I'm friendly and intelligent, but because I'm an adequate addition to their gene pool. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized my boyfriend's family love and respect me more than my own family. FML
Today, I found out that me having a boyfriend is an on-going family joke. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were talking about our past relationships. He told me that he broke up with his last girlfriend because she was smart and he suited someone who was quite stupid. He then went on to say that I was perfect for him. FML
Today, I found out the reason my boyfriend dumped me was because his parents don't like the fact that I go to a prestigious university. However, they're completely accepting of the drunken slob who's dating their daughter. FML
Today, I met my new boyfriend’s parents, hoping that they would like me. They made subtle, mean comments during dinner and made me feel like total crap, all because my boyfriend left his ex-wife for me. They don’t get that we’re both good and compatible for each other, and that’s what matters. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that his daughter only liked me because she thought that we look like siblings. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were in bed and I asked him why he was with me. His answer was, "Well, the last girl I dated was really smart and she always made me feel dumb, so I decided to switch things up a bit. You make me feel like a genius, babe." FML
Today, while meeting my boyfriend's family for the first time, the first comment I received was, "Well, at least this one is white." FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's entire extended family at a party. All of them, including his dad, said I looked exactly like his mum. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said he needed to be with someone smart so that he could impress his parents. I just got accepted into medical school. When I pointed that out to him, he added that he needed to be with someone attractive. FML

Be glad that they didn't just judge you on the surface. They decided to evaluate you right down to your DNA.

Just adequate? You fail! They must be evolutionists.

Today, my family-in-law gave me a compliment about my genes. FML

Is their last name Hapsburg by any chance? Seriously, that sounds like a compliment, but it's a very weird thing to say unless they're trying to breed out some heritable disability.

So many people saying 'this is not an FML'. i friggin got suspended for saying that on other FMLs, yet so many people freely saying it in this one. And what they said is a really nice thing. it's pretty much saying you are friendly and intelligent plus other qualities. Considering you are intelligent, you didn't work that one out too well...

I'd take it as a compliment, so don't act like it's the end of the world just because of a compliment!

Instead of being pissed because they didn't chose the exact words you're looking for, maybe take a look at the message itself. They're complimenting you, you idiot. Some people just like to look for things to complain about.

People forget how primal humans are... That used to be top priority, having good offspring that is. To use dumb logic to try and deny that fact--just really! Should be glad anyone wants to mate with you at all. That's what it boils down to anyways. Getting some.
