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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

You're such a dumbass, why compare her to an animal when you can just say: your beautiful or ask her what's wrong.

Strong legs good. Horse legs bad. It's not that complicated.

Four legs good, two legs bad.

as someone with an eating disorder, both would be really bad. strong equals big, big equals bad.. (I know it's not true, but for me it is. And probably for this girl too)

Dude that sucks. I hope you learned the first rule of dealing with depressed women (or anyone)... NEVER make a statement that can have a "bad side". Pessimism really makes it hard to take a compliment. Until your next screw-up due to lack of proper thought.

Oh my god, don't say that to a girl, ever! I doubt she wanted to hear she has strong legs anyway. I know I wouldn't want to hear that "compliment."

Um... What's so bad about having strong legs...?
Anumayis 34
wow I've never said this on the Internet and now is the second time in a day. As someone with an eating disorder, strong legs is just as bad as fat. Strong equals big, and big equals bad. I know that big isn't necessarily bad for most people, but to me it is. and I'm thinking it was just as bad for this girl as it would've been for me.

What a whiner. I mean really, that shouldn't have been so upsetting. Horses have super-thin legs anyway.

Wow, she was over-sensitive...but then she's going to be when she's depressed. You gave it your best shot, and while a horse is a funny thing to be compared to, it's not like you said she had a face like a horse. A horse is a beautiful, noble, and powerful animal.
