Today, I let my step-father know exactly what I thought of him. After a few moments of awkward silence, he leaned towards me and quietly whispered, "Well you're adopted. Your parents never loved you." FML

Today, I was on the phone with my boyfriend. We were messing around and I always jokingly say, "You're adopted, nobody loves you!" to everybody. His reply, "That's pretty fucked up, I am adopted." He really was. FML
Today, my Dad sat me down and told me that I was adopted. I was unbelievably shocked by this revelation and asked him why he'd never told me this before. His response was, "I didn't know!" FML

Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad walked in to talk. He said I'm not the son he'd hoped for, and that he'd been let down as a father. He said I should change the way I am so that he could love me more. It was the longest conversation I've had with my dad in years. FML
Today, I discovered that I'm adopted. How? After a great lunch, I asked my uncle how he'd made the salad dressing. He replied, "Haha! It's a secret family recipe, my dear!" I wouldn't have thought twice about it, were it not for my parents' shocked expressions, and the long, awkward silence. FML
Today, my son broke up with his girlfriend. When I asked why, he said, "Because I found out she's adopted. Ugh. I just can't with that, y'know?" Never before have I ever felt the desire to disown one of my kids. It's not a pleasant feeling. FML
Today, my dad seemed moody, so to lift his spirits, I told him I loved him. He just snorted, "You gay or something, boy?" Really mature, dad, really mature. FML

How insensitive. Sorry you had to listen to that.

You obviously have parents who loved you. You were special enough that you were chosen to be their child.

I mean maybe I guess you could say that he's an adopted husband

Sorry if someone else has already made this argument; but, isn't the step-dad referring to OP's biological parents not loving him? Hence the adoption.

If ur parents didnt love u, they would never have put u for adoption... The most common reason for that is money. Put som lego in ur step dads shoes!!

Either he's saying it to get back at you or piss you off, or it's true.

We have no idea what was said to the step dad first, it could have been equally as bad

Is OP actually adopted, though? Everyone seems to be assuming it's true. Either way, that's not really the point. Sometimes when you hurt someone, they lash out and try to hurt you back. Even if they're older than you. Parents (and step-parents) are people too, and I'm guessing "told my step dad what I thought of him" doesn't mean OP told him how awesome he is. Maybe raising someone who you have no particular obligation to only to find that they're an ungrateful douche is, y'know, hurtful.
