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?

There is absolutely no need to abbreviate the word "you" or "are"..

"OP, it's a picture on the internet, saying that stretch marks are your tiger stripes that you've earned. I've seen the Facebook image a lot a couple weeks ago. Your boyfriend was trying to give you a compliment; chill out". I think that's what they were trying to say.

Actually, it's fine to abbreviate them, if you use 'you're'.

That's a contraction, not an abbreviation.

I saw one of those annoying FB pictures saying that stretch marks make a lady like a tiger or something because it represents a hard time or something like that. Maybe he got it from that?

Seriously? She has stretch marks, it's a part of who she is. He didn't say anything negative about them. Question: how important do you think looks are in a relationship?

Looks are not always overrated. It is what starts a good amount of relationships.

I actually once asked a woman out BECAUSE she had stretch marks. She was a knock out too but her stretch marks made her more approachable, more attainable, harder to put on a pedestal like some perfect goddess. I actually came to like them quite a bit. Bottom line, if your boyfriend loves you then he probably loves all of you. Even your tiger stripes.
