Today, after making several comments about how I didn't exactly look thin, my boyfriend said, "Well, at least we know you'll look good pregnant." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my boyfriend that I gained a few pounds and thought I looked fat. He replied that I looked the same and that I shouldn't worry because he likes fat girls. I never thought I was fat before this. FML
Today, I was doubting my boyfriend's feelings for me, so I asked him if he found me attractive. He replied, "Well, you're thin enough…" That's all. 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, at school, one of my students confidently told me that I "wasn't hiding my baby bump very well anymore." I'm not pregnant. Just fat, apparently. 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, I told my boyfriend that I was afraid our future children would be fat and ugly. He reassured me, saying that he was sure our spawn would take on after him. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I'm pregnant. He seemed excited, and said we should make the baby fat so he can bounce her on his lap and watch her double chin jiggle. Just to prove he's serious, he's been searching for high-calorie foods for babies. FML
Today, while in bed, my boyfriend pointed to my stomach and said, "Bad fat", then pointed to my boobs and said, "Good fat." FML
Today, I was proudly telling my husband that I only gained 8 lbs throughout the pregnancy thus far. I usually obsess over my weight, so it was a great accomplishment for me. He then turned and pinched my arms, saying, "Well, looks like all the fat migrated to your arms." FML
Today, I was talking to my boyfriend about how I'm self conscious about my weight. He looks at me and says, "Don't worry babe, I've always been kind of a chubby chaser." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least he was trying to make a compliment. Keyword: Trying.

Maybe this'll teach you not to fish for compliments...

Uh, what? I read the FML and it doesn't sound like the OP is fishing for compliments at all. 1.) Firstly, it never even states that she was the one who made the initial comments about not looking thin. Grammatically, that doesn't even make sense. It would have to say "Today, after I made several comments about how I didn't exactly look thin..." The structure of the sentence suggests that it was the boyfriend who made the comments. "Today, after making several comments about how I didn't exactly look thin, my boyfriend said, "Well, at least we know you'll look good pregnant." " I.e. the boyfriend is the subject of the sentence. 2.) Yeah, it could just be using incorrect/confusing grammar and it was her who made the comments. Why assume she was fishing for compliments? Imagine another scenario. Girl looks sad. Boyfriend asks what's wrong. Girl says 'nothing's wrong'. Instantly, that comment would be construed as her being passive aggressive or whatever. But in this case maybe he asked if she was okay and she said that she was feeling a bit sad over her weight. And suddenly that means she's fishing for compliments. Well, I've always thought the best thing to do is to be open and communicate with your partner! But clearly women can't ever have a sad moment or feel a bit insecure because they're 'fishing for compliments'! FFS, y'all. Couples are meant to share how're they're feeling, the good and the bad. Ugh, people just need to stop hating on the OP when they don't know the full story or the context.

the dynamic of the grammar suggests otherwise

Like I said, it could work either way, but practically every commenter jumped to conclusions. Which is unfortunate when there are many other conclusions that could be drawn from it. I happened to read it in a completely different way to you and the other commenters, #122.

I really don't see the issue here. if you're not thin he shouldn't have to lie and say you are. it doesn't mean he doesn't think you%2

I really don't see the issue here. if you're not thin he shouldn't have to lie and say you are. it doesn't mean he doesn't think you're beautiful.

More of a compliment than an insult :p Least you know he thinks you look good.

It's nice to know he thinks about plans for you two in the future but the comments are uncalled for

I think it's proof that he's clumsy more than malicious. I mean he said that OP would look good pregnant, which means he likes the way she looks now, thin or not. I don't think you should hold it against him OP, I'm quite clumsy with complements myself so sometimes when I think I'm being nice to someone, they actually take what I say as a criticism or even an insult. It seems to me that that's what's happened to you, he thought he was being nice, but it didn't come out that way for you.

If I was a girl I would've taken this as a compliment, he's saying even if you gain a little more weight you're still beautiful. Cheer up OP, it was a compliment hidden by some very poor word choice
