Today, I was snuggling in bed with my girlfriend. She was depressed, so I complimented her strong legs, saying they were "like a horse." I spent the next hour and a half trying to stop her crying. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, i told my boyfriend that I wasn't feeling emotionally well, and wanted cuddles. He proceeded to hump my leg. FML
Today, my girlfriend was upset, so I tried to cheer her up by telling her how much I love her and how beautiful she is. After a minute, her face started to light up. I thought it had worked until I realized that she was being cheered up by the friends she was talking to online. FML
Today, my girlfriend gave me a speech on me "not being manly enough". I started crying. FML
Today, my girlfriend was feeling down because she has put on some weight. I tried to make her feel better by showing her I can still pick her up. I can, and I was even able to hide the fact that I shat myself doing it. I'm so romantic. FML
Today, my girl and I were in bed trying to nap before class. She kept tossing and turning, obvious signs that she was having no luck. Sweetly, I ask her if there was anything I could do to help her relax. She says "you can tell me a story about your day, that always puts me to sleep". FML
Today, I was cuddling in bed with my girlfriend after a night of heavy drinking. She rolled towards me, looked me in the eyes and sweetly said, "I love you". Her morning breath was so bad that I had to jump up and rush to the bathroom to vomit, leaving a trail along the way. FML
Today, I was going to attempt to compliment my girlfriend, I planned on telling her that she smelled really nice. In a loving tone, I confidently told her, "Baby, you have a certain stench to you." FML
Today, I was talking to the girl I really like, and she was telling me how crappy her day was. Trying to be nice, I gave her a back rub. I somehow managed to unhook her bra. FML
Today, I was really depressed so I talked on the phone with my best friend. She was telling me how a guy she really liked complimented her. I told her it was be nice to get at least one compliment. After a long silence she says, "You're really good with computers." FML
Today, my fiancée told me she was having a bad day while we were lying in bed. Just as she was about to fall asleep I thought it would be sweet if I sang her a song that her Mom sang to her when she was a child. Instead, I was told to shut the fuck up and that I sucked. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Dude, some advice; if you EVER compare your girlfriend to an animal, make sure it isn't a huge animal that could be considered an indirect way of calling her fat. And even then, you're taking a big risk. When she's depressed, don't say much. Let her talk. She'll talk herself through it, all she needs is someone to listen to her and hold her. Someone who cares.

Maybe it would be a better idea to just snuggle with her and no stupid comments. If my girlfriend was depressed, I'd kiss her neck and tell her I love her and make her smile and laugh. :) But nice try. :P

Why would you try to compliment her by comparing her to a horse?

YDI because you obviously sub-consciously want to have sex with a horse. Buy her a "My Little Pony", a couple of sugar cubes, and nuzzle up to her.

Try calling her a cow next time, see if that works out for you.

YDI for thinking that "you've got horse legs" would pass for a compliment. (Especially if the reason she was depressed was because of self-confidence or body issues)

i think you didn't think about how should would react to that, did you? lmao, you really didn't ******* think that one through. (saying a girls legs are as strong as a horse isn't exactly something a girl would like to hear) YDI, think before you say things.

...never, *ever* tell women they're remotely like *any* animal, even the cutest ones on the planet. Just skip to the adjectives you're associating and leave out the nouns >.> Your heart was in the right place, buuuut... YDI for nothing thinking:-p

...I don't understand her reaction at all, and I'm a girl. Honestly, that seems like a pretty good compliment to me. I mean, it should have been obvious to her that you meant it as a compliment; therefore, she should have been able to deduce that you meant her legs were horselike with respect to their musculature rather than with respect to, for example, hair. If I had put a lot of effort into developing strong legs, I'd be overjoyed to have someone comment on them. I could understand it if she just said "Hey!" or something, but accepted the compliment after you explained what you meant. But to cry over it for an hour and a half? That's just a ridiculous overreaction. Who cares if you compared her to an animal? You meant it in a positive way, and that should be what counts.
