Today, my boyfriend got rejected by his dream college. In an effort to comfort him, I told him that he is incredibly smart and that it's their loss. He replied, "Of course you think so, you're an idiot!" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 and I were talking about our past relationships. He told me that he broke up with his last girlfriend because she was smart and he suited someone who was quite stupid. He then went on to say that I was perfect for him. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said he needed to be with someone smart so that he could impress his parents. I just got accepted into medical school. When I pointed that out to him, he added that he needed to be with someone attractive. FML
Today, I asked out the man of my dreams. He's smart, attractive, and has a steady job. Imagine my surprise when he accepted. Then imagine my surprise when he followed up with, "Hah, just kidding. You're fucking BORING!" FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he didn't feel attractive. I tried to cheer him up by telling him that I find him very attractive, and so do my friends. He said that didn't matter, because my friends and I aren't attractive either. FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend refer to me as a “pretty but dumb chick” because I like horror movies and comedies over his boring pseudo intellectual dramas. I literally have two degrees and I'm working on a third, while he has neither, yet he thinks he’s smarter than me because of movies. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were in bed and I asked him why he was with me. His answer was, "Well, the last girl I dated was really smart and she always made me feel dumb, so I decided to switch things up a bit. You make me feel like a genius, babe." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me all about how his parents sat him down last night and had a 20 minute talk with him about how I'm the biggest mistake he'll ever make. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I talked about our past relationships. He said he broke up with his last girlfriend because she was "too smart" for him, and that he felt better being with someone who "doesn't have too many lights on upstairs, if you know what I mean." FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years accidentally admitted to me that he settled for me because he doesn't think he can do any better. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Thats really unfair on you, but you have to understand he's probably just incredibly gutted right now and although he shouldnt have taken it out on you he just snapped....Bless you for putting up with him though. x

What a dick. He gets rejected from college and you're the idiot. Clearly. You're only an idiot if you stay with him after something like that.

Learn that people don't like a being comforted when stuff like that happens, I have. Two of my friends didn't get in to the best Uni in the UK, I did. I knew anything I said would should cheap so I said nothing, you should too.

Would should cheap? Mhmm.

yeah, because when bad things happen to people, the LAST thing you want to do is offer comfort and support. You sound like a douche. A douche who can't type the word "sound"

Yeah, the predictive text on my iPod changed sound to should, big deal. And I have since talked to these friends about it and they agreed and were glad I hadn't tried to "comfort" them immediatley after they had the news. Oh and in my (biased) opinion Cambridge can't match up to Oxford :P

only girls would post this as an fml. He's obviously angry about it and taking his anger out. If you dumped him, you really are an idiot

&& yes. Taking his anger out. On HER. The person who was trying to comfort him, and show him there are other options. You're a total knobwad. & no-one likes being treated like that. It's called bullying. All I got through school was constant comments from my now best friend on what an idiot I was, & how 'stupid' I was being. Eventually though, I ended up snapping and letting her know exactly how I felt. That isn't a 'girl thing'. It's called being human. So. Suck on them lemons. ;D xx

I agree with him. It is in no way the college's loss.

That's so mean of him! He shouldn't take out his disappointment on you.
