Today, after feeling a little down about myself and looking for comfort from my boyfriend, he told me that my stretch marks make me look like a tiger. FML
Collection
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 choosing animals that reminded us of eachother. I said he reminded me of a tiger because he is really muscular. He told me I reminded him of a zebra. When I asked him why, he said it was because of my stretchmarks. FML
Today, my boyfriend noticed dark lines that look like scars on my inner thighs. He confronted me about them, thinking I was cutting myself, and now wants me to see a therapist because he thinks I'm suicidal. They're stretch marks. He won't believe me. FML
Today, while changing my clothes, my 3 year-old daughter informed me that I looked like a zebra. Noticing my shocked face, she tried comforting me by telling me I was a pretty zebra because I was a purple zebra. She was talking about my stretch marks. FML
Today, I showed my boyfriend the new tattoo of a butterfly that I'd gotten on my lower back. He said, "It looks like it's flying when your rolls jiggle." FML
Today, I was talking to my boyfriend, feeling pretty low. I said something along the lines of, "You like me even when I look like shit." He replied, "Ah, that's just how you naturally look." FML
Today, I was with my boyfriend and I said that I was self-conscious of my acne. He told me that only one of my zits was noticeable and that it wasn't so bad. In fact he said it looked cool, like a bullet wound or something "awesome" like that. FML
Today, I was feeling a bit insecure about my body, and I told my boyfriend I don't know how he can even stand to have sex with me. He replied, "I know, right?" FML
Today, I walked into my bathroom to my boyfriend bragging about how much better his butt looked than mine, all while wearing my jeans. FML
Today, my boyfriend encouragingly told me that he could tell I was losing weight, all because I had one roll fewer than usual on my stomach. FML
Today, my husband called me “my little zebra”. I gave birth a month ago, and I’ve kept a few stretch marks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Stretch marks like a tiger.... Sounds like some serious dietary issues are in place.

At least you know he dose not find your stretch marks unattractive. Cause let's be real, there's no such thing as a unattractive tiger :) .

In my opinion that is both an insult and compliment.

Maybe that's his fetish.

12, stretch marks come on women of ALL shapes and sizes. It's called genetics.

#1-I agree, whats wrong OP, you don't like Tigers? Or were you hoping for a Honey Badger? #5- that shit had me rolling.

12-not all stretch marks are from your diet, any time your skins tight they can firm (putting on weight, putting on muscle too fast, getting taller fast, etc)
jessica051085 5
agreed. This is a compliment. Tigers are sexy animals. Stop hating on tigers OP.
Futacy 30
Feline fetish?

tigers are da bomb diggety!

My friends ex-boyfriend used to comment about her stretch marks. He nicknamed her tigerpotamus. That's even how he adressed her in public sometimes. He was a real asshole. I don't think OP's boyfriends' comment was meant to insult her. She may have just interpreted it the wrong way.

12- I'm on my phone so I can't see OP's profile, but maybe she's had a baby? In which case she should be damn proud of those stretch marks!
zen1979 16
No, actually it's not genetics at all. It's the experiences the body goes through like dramatic changes in size from things like pregnancy or dietary issues. So apart from the genetic predispositions that affect those things....

151- Pregnancy or dietary issues? Try being a woman who is over 6 feet tall and slim as hell before you throw around the Fat Card, you dolt. Or at least do some research.

I'm an 18 year old, size 4 with a 27" waist and I still have stretch marks. It's just something that all woman get

There was a post like this a few years ago, both are still funny

Tigers can be sexy to role play in bed.. right? At least she doesn't need a costume for that. >:)

I think that women are his favorite animal.
Rainbow_dumpster 28
That's a good thing! Be Proud, OP! =D

If she still doesn't like it, say his pubes look like a lions mane or something. No? Then I got nothing..
Bonzer 2
78- Are you kidding me? I would love to have pubes like a lion's mane.
L_Lovegood 19
I have no clue how long the hairs in a lion's mane are, but I'd be pretty scared of a person who had pubes like that.
crankawank 19
Well, at least he doesn't mind them! Tigers are pretty cool n' MIGHTY FIERCE.

Perhaps he's trying to tell you how feisty you are... You know how men can be! Although we women have our moments too ;)

He's got the eye of a tiger

What's the problem here. I'd be honored to e a tiger.
azpalomino 4
I'd take that as a compliment...
ebonyirony 29
Except it's stretch marks
ImaginaryFoe 1
Except it's not his fault she has them and there's no point in pretending she doesn't. It's a figure "flaw" most people aren't happy to have and he complimented her on them. He sounds like a sweet bf.

not sure if a compliment or not

Throw a box of frosted flakes at him. Problem solved!

Sounds to me like he's lion.

Hopefully he's not a cheetah.
rhysfucker 24
He doesn't have time to be a cheetah...he's always on the lynx playing golf.
itssosparkly 21
Regardless, the truly important thing here is that OP's felines have been hurt.
MrBrightside21 20
Personally, I find stretch marks attractive. I just can't keep my paws off of them.

Well, you're wrong, because the bible says only men and women that are humans can have sex together.

I'm not sure why my comments aren't showing up but I'll post this one more time: Humans have sex with humans.

The mods are deleting them because they're stupid and irrelevant.

.. I'm not prefect at English so I don't get manys stuff, but it will say «This comment has moderated». Why does it not show that ? Can a staff help me ?
RetardedPotato 6
Can someone tell me why my comment not show up ? I post two time ! Before someone say about my grammar , sign language grammar is different English . I am know of my name .

I hate my stretch marks. They're absolutely clawful.
