Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was together with a few of my friends when I got up the courage to confess I have an eating disorder. One of my friends then said "... but you're not skinny." FML
Today, while sitting next to me, my boyfriend sent a text to one of his "friends" saying, "I'm thinking of you." FML
Today, at the gym, I saw this really pretty girl. Trying to impress her, I started lifting with heavy weights. One of the weights slipped out of my hand. I then dropped the other one, trying to make it seem like it was on purpose. I dropped the weight on my phone. I squealed. She giggled. FML
Today, my husband and I were talking about celebrities he finds attractive. All of these beautiful, talented, glamorous women were starting to make me feel very plain, so he attempted to console me by saying, "But I love you. You're attainable!" FML
Today, I realized that my boyfriend is so obsessed with tickling me that my body has developed a conditioned response. Now I flinch every time he touches me, no matter what we're doing. FML
Today, as always, my boyfriend has the ability to pop his eyeballs out of his eye sockets. He thought it'd be funny for me to wake up face-to-face with the disgusting sight. The shit in my bowels did an early Thanksgiving Day parade straight into my underwear. FML
Today, my best friend told me she was pregnant over the phone. While in the middle of telling her congrats, she told me it was with my boyfriend. FML
Today, I told my grandma my boyfriend had cheated on me. She told me that it was my fault for not straightening my hair, and for gaining a few pounds. FML
Today, we had a sprint race in gym class that I wasn't looking forward to because I'm a little chubby. The race started and I shot off as fast as I could, somehow in the lead. Everyone was cheering. When I was nearing the finish line I turned around, only to see the race hadn't started yet. FML
Today, I spent some time in a sunbed to prepare myself for a very special reunion with my boyfriend, who I haven't seen in 6 months. I hope he likes crispy red butt-cheeks, and I wonder whether they will start peeling before or after he returns. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's funny how if this was a guy doing it to his girlfriend, people would be insulting OP to no end.. Instead people are mocking the boyfriend. No one likes being called chunky, or fat. Especially if he's one of those people who work really, really hard on their bodies.

I agree with you, but what about the fact OP's boyfriend has serious body issues? He clearly sees fat where there is none, and that is something he needs to get help for before it develops into some weird manly eating disorder
CrypticHatchet 0
Guys just can't get a ******* break. If the roles were reversed (like most people said) then he would constantly be called an asshole but when he's the one getting joked with he gets called a pussy. Yeah, he overreacted, but why isn't this more of a YDI because it seems he cares about his looks and a slight joke will get him to react badly to it. She should've known how he is if she is dating him.

230, excuse me last time I checked women are constantly being pressured to look good and to impress guys. We have copped being called fat or not good enough so I think we are allowed to make a joke here and there.
Slim2306 10
it's not as if guys don't have to try either.. but this just makes me think he has no sense of humour.
sick_wish 10
Maybe the reason why he became such a fitness nut was because he used to be overweight and was teased about it, and bullied for it all the time. Maybe he has self esteem issues and you made him remember everything he went through by poking fun at something that was a touchy subject for him. It doesn't make him a pussy, a vag, unmanly, or a woman. It makes him human and sensitive to human insecurities.

i think it's different for a guy to call a girl fat. especially if it's your girlfriend! you're supposed to call her beautiful! but I get what you mean, it's just that OP said she was joking! :)

28- My boyfriend (imaginary for now) doesn't call me beautiful. Although, I am a fat ugly *****. What now? 7- I agree, I work my ass off just to stay in shape. It's not easy achieving sexy. Ya, I just contradicted myself being sarcastic, so what?
dudeitsdanny 10
So... Guys have to compliment girls, but girls can insult guys without any problem? And girls claim to want equality.. I know it's a joke, but if a guy joked, it'd be a different reaction from most.
xXshadowrollerXx 6
28 - You say you're supposed to call a girl beautiful, and I completely agree with you. However, if we're using your logic, guys would want to hear that they are strong or protective, not chunky and out of shape. So it's really no different, everyone has a level of awkwardness with their bodies, and don't want to hear things like that about themselves.

It's true that no one likes being called chunky or fat, but c'mon, OP was obviously joking. If my boyfriend had made a joke like that about me, I would have laughed and made one right back. He overreacted.
Susieee_Q 9
I don't think OP was insulting him. She was just kidding. And if a guy playfully did the same thing to his girlfriend (with the intention of making a joke) then, yes, I think it would be acceptable, too. Jokingly messing around with each other is how partners sometimes demonstrate their comfort; like when friends do it among themselves. OP's boyfriend definitely didn't need to cry about it....
Keyman1212 14
That's the problem with feminism. There is this double standard that men are expected to be chivalrous and allow women to walk all over them, then at the same token, women should be equal to men. If you want me to be chivalrous and allow you to walk all over me, you better make damn good sammiches and cater to my sexual needs because it's the same damn concept, only gender roles reversed.
fthislyfe 22
GUYS! its not feminism! men and women are different. women wear make up, to try to look beautiful and be admired by guys. but face it, unless you're gay, you don't sweat about being good looking as much as girls do! BECAUSE girls need to be told "beautiful" more than guys. Girls and guys are different in many ways. I'm also a feminist but that doesn't mean that I accept the same behavior for men and women. Because of the biological and psychological differences. You've heard this a lot: never call a women fat, ugly etc... but it's not true about guys. why? because they don't give a crap! and if it hurts their feeling to the point they burst into tears, that's really gay. I'm not homophobic, my point is that it's not manly! well i'm done bitching :D
ReynshineCutting 10
My hubby is a bodybuilder and I jokingly call him skinny sometimes. I'm overweight and he'll jokingly call me fat sometimes. We both know we're kidding around and not serious when we do it but apparently OP and her boyfriend aren't at that comfort level yet.
WallyTheWombat 0
I think this has more to do with guys being able to take a joke better than a girl. Guys rip on each other all the time with their friends so we are used to it. I guess this means OP's BF doesn't have friends?
Smokingweenies 3
95 - THANK YOU! So happy that someone else sees that. Don't get me wrong, I love being nice to my girlfriend and calling her beautiful, but I'm just tired of not being able to say certain things, even if jokingly, to her from fear of her completely overreacting and taking it the wrong way while she can continuously say that something I did was stupid. I don't mind her saying that, but I think at some point girls should realize that guys do have feelings and shouldn't be seen as ridiculous when they are reacting to something hurtful, even if the other person was joking. And I think guys do deserve more sammiches and their sexual desires achieved because we put up with a lot more bullshit than girls do. Also, girls are never allowed to enter the doghouse from some stupid rules hidden deep within their minds. I understand that she has a right to get mad when a guy insults her, but when she insults a guy and then proceeds to get mad because of his reaction, then that's just ridiculous. well I think I've gone on quite enough :p haha.

#145: What on earth are you talking about? Are you saying that, as a feminist, you believe that men don't have feelings? Well, I've got news for you: your understanding of both people and feminism is pretty darn flawed.
aerosmith3312 2
This whole thing is bullshit, you can't have two sets of standards but at the same time demand equality, if a guy said that dame thin to his girlfriend everyone here ( especially the ******* feminists) woul have jumped his shit about bein an asshole. She should have known how seriously he takes his body and not said anything. But I will admit that the crying was an overreaction
berg54 0
Actually it's not **** to care about what you look like. Some men are a thing called metrosexual and some just spend 4 days a week in a gym and don't want to be told they are fat when they invest like 15 hours a week avoiding that. it's that simple. Now him bursting into tears could be the roids or something. But that is a two faced opinion, not all guys walk around in sweaty shit stained clothes and don't care. Sorry to burst your bubble. Any how op - now you know he cares a lot about his body and the time he puts in means a lot. So just dont joke on that touchy subject.
berg54 0
oh and @ 145 - your the reason men are still chauvinistic pigs. "Its not manly!". Yes all men are heartless assholes who don't care at all about appearance or reputation and just like to hit things with sticks to prove they are men. really? Are you that ignorant or you just wanted to prove something or be like everyone else and demoralize men and create more chauvinism?

I call my fiancee fat all the time. if she takes me seriously, she can give back the ring and gtfo.
Keyman1212 14
Thank you all for supporting my position, it's ridiculous that some people can't get the simple concept I'm trying to get across. I was removed from a sociology class at UNIVERSITY because I posed this argument to a crazed feminist teacher. She refused to even hear my position and had me removed from class in front of my 200 peers.

sassypants93 17
Not every girl would overreact though. I joke like that all the time with guys, and I don't get offended at all. We all know that I'm not fat and that they are joking just like I am when I joke with them about things. Some people do get offended and can't take jokes like that though and op should have known her boyfriend was one of those people. All I'm saying is it doesn't matter what sex the person is, it's the lack of sense of humor or oversensitivity that makes the difference here. Don't go thinking all girls are the same because we aren't and neither are guys.
awardZu 0
If it was the guy saying the girl was fat, people would shit a brick and call him an ass. Yes, he went a bit overboard, but some people are sensitive about that. I do my best to stay in decent shape, but I'm fighting a losing battle. I wouldn't feel good if someone called me fat.

Eh, steroids don't actually cause emotional imbalances. That is entirely myth.
fizzpoplady 3
Does saying that make you feel better about the fact that you were simultaneously 'roid-raging and crying as you typed it, 98?
JComp41 0
roids won't make you emotional like that, he's probably on his post cycle therapy. pct will make you extremely emotional because it will drastically increase a guys estrogen levels. the roids elevate your testosterone levels, that's why people say you get roid rage.
ReynshineCutting 10
...and roid rage has been proven to be a myth as well. They're not good for your overall health but the rage is an absolute myth.
JComp41 0
I would call it a complete myth. Higher testosterone will lead to more irritability. People who are hot headed tent to have higher test than a more docile person. It's not to the point people make it out to be that's for sure.
JComp41 0
And I don't want to get into a whole roid debate on here just a thought. How can steroids, when done right mind you, be bad. Doctors give testosterone injections to people all the time. It's safe for a transgender person to get it but not body builders?
TaylorTotsYumm 10
208, at high levels, like what would suffice for a body builder, testosterone can cause kidney failure amongst other things.
JComp41 0
If used continually for long periods. Odds are if you run one cycle every 6 months, giving your body time to recover, you would have 0 issues. People who run cycles year long of course have issues. If used correctly and not overdone steroids are just as dangerous as aspirin.
JComp41 0
Of course there are risks just like any drug. But the reason for them having the rep of killing people and harming people is from people not knowing what they are doing or not caring and abusing them by
Sielune 8
208 - Anabolic steroids increase testosterone levels in the body; a transgendered individual might not have enough testosterone on their own. However, in normal gendered human bodies, it halts the production of natural testosterone by the testicles in males, such as in the case of body builders that use anabolic steroids. The type of steroid used to treat practically everything else, such as allergic reactions or arthritis, are corticosteroids, which are a different class of steroids. Thus, it's not accurate to compare steroid use for bodybuilding to steroid use in general. Not to mention the various risks of steroid use, such as decreased blood clotting.
Keyman1212 14
Thanks for thumbing me down, uneducated people. No studies have been done on the effects of steroids on people, because quote "they're too dangerous to test on humans." So no one actually knows how "bad" they are. But steroid users do. I haven't personally done steroids, but I know plenty of people who have. They aren't like the Hulk at all. They're the same individual as before. Uneducated folks who buy propaganda from anyone about the effects of steroids should maybe get to know someone who does use them, then make a decision for themselves.
