Today, I finally had the confidence to show my girlfriend my hairy chest/stomach. I'm very self conscious about it, and get embarrassed easily. She said I looked disgusting, called me Chewbacca and broke up with me on the spot. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while making out with my girlfriend, I got the courage to take off my shirt. I told her in advance that I had a sunken chest and she'd told me it was no big deal. Turns out it was, as she wretched at the sight of it, and then broke up with me. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to confess my bulimia to my girlfriend of three months. It's a touchy subject for me and I ended up in tears. When I was done talking, I looked up to see my girlfriend's disgusted face. She claimed I had a 'vomit fetish', said I was 'half a man' and broke up with me. 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, while my boyfriend and I were in the shower, we began to get a bit frisky. That was until I lifted my arms and he immediately made one of his "Chewbacca Calls." He was referring to my armpits that I had forgotten to shave. 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, it was the first time I was about to have sex with my girlfriend of 3 years, since I'm self-conscious about my size. When she saw it, she started laughing. She was mad I didn't want to continue. FML
Today, I had to come to terms with having more facial hair than my boyfriend, despite being female since birth. FML
Today, my boyfriend of seven years dumped me because he said my cheeks getting way too fat for his taste and he didn't want to be with a chipmunk. FML
Today, I found out that since I stopped shaving my legs, my boyfriend and his friends have started referring to me as a Wookiee. FML
Today, my not-yet-even girlfriend dumped me in front of her family, as they all mocked and laughed at me because of my pointless and ridiculous "quirks". I'd told them that I shower and change into fresh clothes every day. I'd also said do not wipe after I poop, but I wash, soap, rinse, and dry. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you're self-conscious about it, there are plenty of ways to get rid of hair you don't want. Doesn't excuse your ex's bitchy superficiality, but you don't have to have it if you yourself don't like it.

#13 Some girls like hairy chests and don't think that the hair makes guys "look like shit." Personally I find it weird when guys don't have any chest hair at all. I don't want to feel like I'm preying on the pre-pubescent... :O

I love guys with some "brown sugar" on their chest. to me it shows you are a man not a 12 year old boy.

First thing, go you for getting up the courage to do what you did, man. However, you can get the hair thing delt with by shaving or other means as such, ya know.

Also, bright side; if you shave or wax, you'll no longer be hairy. She'll still be a bitch, however.

it's normal for a man to have hair on their body, some more than others! big deal nothing to be ashamed of! what a shallow bitch..good thing the ass is out of your life!!

I like guys with hair on their chest and stomach O.o Don't listen to all the people saying 'well shave it off' It'll grow back worse and itch. As long as it's not bothering you, why should you get rid of it? Just 'cause someone thinks it's weird?

Well, he said he's self conscious about it.. so it probably does bother him.

I think he only cares about what people think about it, if it bothered him how it looked/felt or he didn't like it, he would've already shaved it off.

You have a point, redrovaa. I do think that if a girl breaks up with a guy over something as simple as chest hair, then he's better off without her. However, if he does have a problem with it, then I don't see why he shouldn't wax some (or all) of it off.

Trimming with a beard trimmer has the least side effects. (Itching and breakouts.) All though many girls don't mind a hairy chest, most love a well groomed guy.

I'm not sure why all the comments telling OP to shave or wax are being voted down so hard. As #32 said, based on the wording this is a big deal for the OP, so it's not unreasonable to suggest they do something about it. Like no guy on here has ever shaved his face or girl has shaved her legs? No-one has ever done some manscaping or gone for a bikini wax? The problem the OP specifically identifies himself as being self-conscious about is dealt with by millions of people every day without any drama at all.

Strawberry - I completely see what you mean, but I don't see this as a point at which the OP should put up with something he was already deeply self-conscious about. I shave my face, not because society tells me to, but because I prefer it that way. I have relatively hairy arms (for some reason not unusual in Australian men) so I just use a clipper every once in a while. It doesn't bother me if I let it grow out, and I'm not that obsessive about it, it's just a personal preference and not a big deal. While I don't think OP should do something because society dictates it, if it's affecting his life, it's an easy fix.

Strawberry - Completely right. If OP has low self-esteem, and this is just how it manifests, what you say is spot on. I think though, that a lot of people feel ill at ease with their life and try to hang it on one thing or another that isn't the root cause of the problem. In some cases, they won't face up to one problem because if they were still unhappy afterwards, they wouldn't be able to use that as an excuse. I suppose back to the original FML, the OP's girlfriend was a complete jerk for reacting the way she did, especially if she had any inkling of the way he felt. That stuff causes scars way beyond what can be fixed with a little grooming.

Don't go and wax or shave just for the sake of some selfish b*tch who finds excessive hair reasonable enough for a breakup. Finds someone who is capable of loving.

13: There's a big difference between having one flaw and "looking like shit." She obviously thought he was attractive with his clothes on. To dump somebody the way she did over something so easily managed, especially if you know that person is already self-conscious of it, is just cruel. Either she's incredibly shallow or she's being a total coward and lying about the reason.
