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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?

Do you also have adonis DNA? If so, I think Charlie Sheen is looking for a girlfriend.

Come on, guys, quit being deliberately stupid. You know the boyfriend was saying something that he knew would hurt her feelings. What a dick. Dump his sorry ass.

Absolutely correct. The only recourse for saying something insensitive is to terminate the relationship immediately. Communication is overrated and inconsequential. She should probably kick him in the balls too just for good measure, right?

Actually he wasn't. There's a picture of the saying online that's aimed towards women who have given birth that says, "Your body is not ruined, you are a tiger who earned her stripes." He probably saw this and WAS trying to be nice to OP, he just didn't word it correctly and she took it the wrong way.

*shrug* If that's how he gives comfort then I don't imagine that talking to him would produce anything positive. I figured my comment was just eliminating the middleman.

I thought her boyfriend was sweet to even take into consideration that she felt bad.

Why doesn't everyone stop assuming that all guys are dicks just because they say something that's pretty funny. It's not even mean! Why don't you all stop conforming to society and stop being so over sensitive about tuff that doesn't really involve you. I'm tired of people who don't even have enough brains to come up with their own opinions and just agree with what others are saying. God you people piss me off!

109- "Stop conforming" is the most overused phrase I hear lately, so thanks for leaping right onto the "be different" bandwagon. Liking the things I like is not "conforming". Conforming is going along with something ONLY because it is popular. Feeling hurt is not a choice to be made in order to conform. It's an emotion. Bloo- It may have seemed insensitive the way he said it, but I don't think he meant to hurt her. My fiance says things like that all the time in order to demonstrate that, no matter how I feel about my body, he likes and loves me the way I am. Not only do those things not bother him, but he actually finds them attractive. It's just that most guys aren't the romantic, poetic types who can say what they mean in exactly the way a girl wants to hear it.
