Today, I told my boyfriend about my foot phobia. To help me "get over it", he took his socks off, pinned me down, and rubbed his foot against my face until I started sobbing. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was giving my boyfriend a foot massage. I learned that his feet are ticklish when he kicked me in the face. FML
Today, after 7 hours on my feet at work, my boyfriend picked me up. Relieved, I took off my shoes. Suddenly, he looked up and sniffed, asking, "Is that your feet?" I'd forgotten to put on socks in my rush to work. He made me put my shoes back on and sit in the back, windows open. FML
Today, my boyfriend surprised me by offering me a foot massage to ease my sore feet after a run. I asked for a lot of pressure. Now I'm back home in a walking boot after being diagnosed with a fractured fifth metatarsal bone. FML
Today, I watched my boyfriend pick all the dead skin off of his feet, and then fling it at me. FML
Today, my boyfriend found out I have OCD. When I touch something with one hand I have to touch it with the other or I freak. After I brushed his face with the back of my hand he tackled me to the floor, held me down, and laughed at me while I panicked and tried to touch him with my other hand. FML
Today, my boyfriend convinced me to face my fear of horror movies by promising to hold my hand through the entire flick. He fell asleep 10 minutes into it, farting and snoring in his sleep, whilst I was paralysed by fear. FML
Today, I told my friends that I have haphephobia, the fear of being touched. One of them said, "Why don't you try facing your fears?" and they all held me down and tickled me until they realized my pleas for them to stop were actually genuine when I stopped laughing and started crying… which took several minutes. FML
Today, I finally told my boyfriend that I see a therapist every week because, amongst other things, I'm terrified of being locked in a room. He didn't believe me, so he locked me in the bathroom "for a laugh." I had a panic attack and passed out. FML
Today, I discovered my boyfriend is incredibly ticklish on the bottom of his feet. Trying to be a bit flirty, I slowly slid two fingers down his calf and mockingly tickled his feet. He reacted by inadvertently elbowing me in the nose, nearly breaking it. FML
Today, I was walking in the park with my boyfriend of 3 years. He stopped and knelt down in front of me. I started to panic, then he told me to calm down, my shoe was untied. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He must desensitize you.

Maybe he wanted to help by trying the cue exposure therapy?

And if you hesitated to have sex with him, he would feel obligated to rape you so that you "get over it", I'm guessing? Jerks like that need to be dumped immediately. Only if they are immediately faced with the consequences of their callousness they will ever learn some basic human decency.

OP's BF: *shoves his foot up OP's face* "CHECK OUT MY ATHLETE'S FOOT! TASTE THE FRICKEN RAINBOW! Er...I mean foot."

You should have started sobbing sooner. I wonder what he'd have done if your phobia was of buttholes.

Then Op's bf would have jumped on her

To minimize the seeing of foots for you, do the following: 1. Get some real heavy boots with the metal ends. 2. Stomp on both his bare feet with them on. This will get his feet in a cast and you won't see them for at least 6 weeks.

but toes tend to stick out of casts so she would kinda still see feet.

Not if you break the toes too.

Diabolical plan!

I hate when people do that to me too! I've an insane phobia of feet, and if I go to the pool, or somewhere without shoes, my friends wipe their feet on me until I scream. It's absolutely childish and a scarring experience for me.

Of course the actual technique is carried out by a professional, that's a process known as flooding that can actually cure phobias pretty much 100%. It's only horrifying because she thinks it will be. This phobia is so crazy it's more than likely a result of an association with feet and a traumatic experience, flooding should be an effective cure. If she just let him do it rather than moan about it.

OMG You're a ******* asshole!

How so? Flooding is actually a rather effective method of curing phobias. Relax, lady.

I would still think this is an FML because it is incredibly disgusting to have someone rub their dirty feet against any part of your body. It is horrible to do that to someone's face, whether they have a phobia of feet or not. Before anyone asks well "How do you know his feet were dirty?" I am guessing they would have at least been sweating in his socks, and they had probably been in shoes at some point which is more disgusting sweat.

If her boyfriend was a professional then this could be a good way to get over her phobia, but my guess is that the boyfriend is just an ass.
ChibiChibi_fml 28
That is true as well thank you. Unless the boyfriend is a trained professional he's got no business deciding how help her "get over it". He should leave that to the therapist or whoever that she is/will be seeing. If she's already seeing a therapist then I would be what the boyfriend did wouldn't make them too happy because it can cause a set back in the work they were already doing by traumatizing the OP.

exactly. And what her boyfriend was doing is NOT an appropriate flooding technique, a professional would never do what he did...for obvious reasons.

Her bf is not a professional. Seriously is he 14??? You can't trust him with your secrets...
