Today, my boyfriend and I were choosing animals that reminded us of eachother. I said he reminded me of a tiger because he is really muscular. He told me I reminded him of a zebra. When I asked him why, he said it was because of my stretchmarks. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after feeling a little down about myself and looking for comfort from my boyfriend, he told me that my stretch marks make me look like a tiger. FML
Today, while changing my clothes, my 3 year-old daughter informed me that I looked like a zebra. Noticing my shocked face, she tried comforting me by telling me I was a pretty zebra because I was a purple zebra. She was talking about my stretch marks. FML
Today, my husband called me “my little zebra”. I gave birth a month ago, and I’ve kept a few stretch marks. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked my dad why he gave me the nickname "Bear," which he has called me since I was very little. My dad responded, "Because she has a hairy back." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were snuggling and telling eachother nice things. The nicest thing he could think of to say to me was "Well, I see you shaved your mustache." FML
Today, as I was walking out of a restaurant with my boyfriend, I saw some guys checking me out. One of them walked up to my boyfriend and said, "Dude, you and your girlfriend have matching moustaches!" FML
Today, I realized I have more in common with a cantaloupe than I do with my boyfriend. FML
Today, I showed my boyfriend the new tattoo of a butterfly that I'd gotten on my lower back. He said, "It looks like it's flying when your rolls jiggle." FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend if he was growing a mustache, as he had whiskers. He looked at me and said "No, but apparently you are." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were in Victoria's Secret. I saw a picture of a model and said, "I wish I looked like that." He replied with, "Me too." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

#5, stretchmarks don't occur just because she's "let herself go" - don't be so insensitive. girls naturally get curvier (hips, breasts) during puberty and it can take a few years after puberty is done for them to TOTALLY disappear. they don't need to be reddish - often when they're old they're skin-colored and not as easy to detect. don't be such a prick.

Your boyfriend is a dick. You are likely at least slightly unattractive (based on his comments), and since stretchmarks are caused by weightgain 90% of the time, I'd venture to say you're fat. Both of you are, therefore, meant for each other... since both of you have a degree of undesirability about you! You have 4 options: either stay with him and be lazy and hear him make jokes about you, stay with him and improve yourself and find that he has newfound respect for you, break up with him and be single, or break up with him and improve your looks and thus find a hottie boyfriend who will be nicer to you. ========= The unfortunate part is, you don't deserve to hear that rude comment from him. On the other hand, it was Karma for letting yourself go. To put things bluntly, you've dug your own grave, and now it's your job to get yourself out of it. I have a great sympathy for people who society makes fun of and looks down upon, however I must say that fat people are unique; they are the only people who will get fed-up with the hatred towards them, yet ALSO at the same time not have the desire to change things if possible.

Look on the bright side, if you're ever in a crowd of naked fat people, and zombies are chasing you...the zombies will get confused and won't be able to pick a target.

#11 (wrestler) ...haha what you said is completely ridiculous...you don't deserve "karma" or something mean happening to you because you have something undesireable on your body That's a pretty dumb thing to say and besides, to all those blaming the girl because she's let herself go...you guys are just assuming....girls often get stretch marks on their breasts, and there's nothing they can do about it except put lotions that "try to help" on them! so back off guys because even if she was fat and had stretch marks on her stomach, she deserves a boyfriend who will care enough about her to not let it bother him! and to the girl who wrote this FML, if you haven't dumped that guy already...do it now :)

#12: Hey, I have no problem if a girl isn't exactly skinny. You just took my comment too seriously.

Geesh, some bitches have no sense of humor. I'm sure he was just being a smartass and joking. If he was serious, perhaps you should consider an eating disorder.

#18 -- haha alright, I'll be sure to let every guy that has man-boobs know that I think they're disgusting according to you, they deserve to be insulted because it's their fault, right? :P

#19: Not always. Sometimes, yes. There's only so much you can blame on body development and genetics. However, we don't really know the whole situation here so I guess nobody's in the position to make assumptions. Just like every other FML on the site, real or not.
