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

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

Looks are a momentary loss of direction when it comes to finding a partner as and I've assumed it's already been mentioned, looks don't last forever. He's a lucky lucky man!

On the bright side, you're the one who he loved enough to make a commitment to spend the rest of his life with?

That's not true, he would not have married you if he thought you where ugly. It's just his mom being a bitch

Think of it this way; your husband has evolved from a boy to a man. And I'm sure you're plenty beautiful

That's okay! I've been married to my hubby for 23 + years, we've raised 4 kids and my in laws still don't accept me. I'm still not good enough. I've gotten older & fatter but when we married, I was 108 lbs. and I was always at the top of my class in school & college. You get used to it after, ooh, 20 years or so!!

I personally would much rather someone who's smart over some hot prissy asshole. You should feel proud, not upset, that he would rather be with you then someone who is extremely hot. I'm guessing too that his mother meant when he was in HS/college, when a guy thinks with one head, the one between his legs.
