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

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

Some people just don't like being comforted, especially by their partner, because if they accept the comfort they think it makes them look weak. You just have to find a more indirect way to do it that's all. Like asking them for help with something you're sure they can fix, then praising them for that.

Don't dump him. He was in a bad mood already, nothing seems good to him. He didn't really mean it, he was just a little sad and angry.

Yes dump him. Getting upset with her because he's mad about something else is one thing, but calling her an idiot is just out of line, and that shows that he really does think she is. People always say that when you're mad you just say things you don't really mean. This might be true sometimes, but more often than not when it comes to judging a person when you're mad, you're really just saying what you really do think, but you're usually too polite to say it.

That was out of line. There is such a thing as self restraint, something he should use. All you tried to do was make him feel better, and he thanked you by insulting you for no reason. Well, it's time to put the cherry on top of his FML sundae and dump his ass. Tell him you don't date college rejects and tell him you want a big mac with a small fry, seeing that the next time you'll see him he'll be working at the local McDonalds.

If he apologizes, maybe you can work something out... :/ But I hope that he was just being snarky when he called you an idiot. >_>

You should have told him, "Then enjoy your Mc. Job you loser." And walk out on his ass. Because if he thinks you're an idiot than he's not worth your time. You were the one trying to make his whiny ass feel better, but if that's how he thinks about you then it's time to move on.
