Today, as always, my boyfriend is better than me at everything, including skills that I have years of experience with, while he has none. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned that my boyfriend is a better pole dancer than I am, despite daily practice. This was his first time trying it. FML
Today, I was working at the daycare. As I left with my boyfriend, a kid came up to us and said that my boyfriend could do way better. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that he becomes a boring version of himself whenever we are together. FML
Today, during an argument, my boyfriend had the nerve to tell me he'll make more than me at his new job that he starts next week. He can't keep a job for more than six months. I've been working at my job for over two years. FML
Today, I beat my boyfriend at chess, whilst also doing my homework and cooking dinner, and he got upset about it. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I had band practice for our duo. I've been playing cello for almost a year and wanted to incorporate it. He picked it up for pretty much the first time and sounded surprisingly good. I was excited until I realized he sounded better than me. FML
Today, I yet again had to pretend to be a dumb bimbo so that my boyfriend wouldn't get upset over the fact that, in some cases, I might be smarter than him. FML
Today, while arm wrestling with my boyfriend, I had to pretend he beat me. FML
Today, and for the past year, my boyfriend keeps wanting to arm-wrestle with me. I’m rather petite and I don’t exercise a lot, yet I’m still waiting for him to win, just even once. 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?

I wish you'd list some examples. There may be people out there you can interpret this in very different ways. I'm not one of those, of course.

Beginner's luck? Or maybe he has an eye for detail that you don't.

I can see this post in two ways. Either he is better than you and that means that you are bad at what you do or he claims to be better than you and that means that he needs to be put down a peg or ten.

He sounds lazy as hell 🤨 the way this is explained he has no experience yet can do things better? Sounds like he finds the quicker way to get it done if you asked me.
