Today, my mother-in-law said I wasn't the type she expected her son to marry, as he's always dated cheerleaders and model types. I must have looked offended, so she added, "I mean they weren't smart like you." So, I might be smart but I'm the ugliest girl my husband has ever been with. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at my engagement party, I overheard my future father-in-law saying he was happy his son was marrying "the dumb, pretty one" because all the "smart ones" he dated at university were "nerds with small tits." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were at a restaurant with a few other couples, and my boyfriend started to rant on how "all the hot chicks are dumb." Apparently, I'm either ugly or stupid. FML
Today, my boyfriend compared me to an unattractive actress. When I said it was sort of messed up to say that to me since she's not pretty, he said, "She's not as bad as you." FML
Today, I went with my beautiful fiancée to tell her grandmother, who's a bit senile, that we got engaged. Her response, "I know he's very nice, but think about the chubby little ugly children he'll give you." This was followed by a recollection of her ex-boyfriends who would've fathered attractive kids. FML
Today, my mother described what her ideal daughter-in-law should be like. Halfway through her description, fishing for some compliments, I told her that such a girl would be way above my league. She sighed and emphatically agreed. FML
Today, during a conversation with my in-laws, I opened up about my insecurities concerning my looks. My mother-in-law responded, "But you're not beautiful." She then repeated it. FML
Today, I came out to my parents. My mother laughed and, when I asked her what was so funny, she told me, "Well, most gays are attractive, muscular, funny and can dress very well. You're ugly, fat, boring, and have no sense of fashion. Good luck." FML
Today, after coming home from hanging out with a few friends, my mom told me that I shouldn't hang out with them any more. Why? Because "they are way hotter than I am and I'll never get a boyfriend if I'm always the ugly one in my group." FML
Today, I asked my mom if I was ugly. She said, "Ask your girlfriend." I said I didn't have one. She said "Exactly." FML
Today, after dating for almost five years, my boyfriend stated that I have a "perfect and amazing personality" but that my looks are not what he "envisioned himself spending the rest of his life with." In other words, I'm ugly. FML

Intelligence and personality are better than looks any day.

Why do looks matter? As long as your both happy, that's what's important :).

Don't worry about what she is saying!!! Do you love the guy does he love you?? I'd say if the answer of both of those are he's, you've got nothing to worry about!!!!!!!

I don't think your mother in law meant to be offensive. Sounds like a bad compliment op. The important thing is beauty's only skin deep and your husband loves you

I don't think she was trying to say you were ugly. Stereo-types for models and cheerleaders is that they are usually ditzy and shallow. Even though not all of them are like that. She probably meant well, it just came out wrong.

The only thing I have is brains. Don't feel bad, OP. I'm sure you're beautiful and she just worded it wrong.

YDI for taking every comment at its worst possible interpretation.

I'm lucky enough that even though my future mil doesn't like me personally, she sees her happy son and is civil with me... Some moms that doesn't even matter to them, and are awful to their daughter in laws. Good luck with that...

I think you're reading into it too much. Models and cheerleaders are both characterized as being dumb and pretty. However that doesn't mean they're the only pretty people out there.

Looks fade. Intelligence is forever.
