Today, I told my boyfriend I had diabetes. He won't talk to me anymore because he thinks I'll infect him with it. 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've been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Despite all my attempts to explain that he's wrong, he is totally convinced that my genitals have diabetes. This guy is going to be such a great father to our kids. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me after I told her I found out I have diabetes. She thought it was an STD and I had cheated on her. So I explained what it really was and she dumped me again because she didn't want her future children to inherit my fucked up DNA. FML
Today, my boyfriend lied about having herpes, and used it as an excuse to dump me. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me because, she says, I have diabetes and she can’t handle the complications that may occur in the future. This after I arranged for her to take trip to Italy to ride horses, which has been on her bucket list for like 10 years. FML
Today, since I needed someone to talk to about it, I told my girlfriend how my dad was recently diagnosed with diabetes. My girlfriend's mother then told me, in graphic detail, how her father's diabetes led to his toes being hacked off. FML
Today, my boyfriend sent me a text that said, "I can't be seen with you anymore. You're too fat." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he was a vampire. I burst out in laughter and said he was ridiculous. He looked at me in disgust and said he couldn't be with someone who didn't trust and believe in him. I'm now single. FML
Today, my boyfriend shared with me his anxiety about death, so I shared with him one of my ridiculously irrational fears. He thought I was making fun of him and now won't talk to me. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. I also found out I have an STD. I was clean before we dated. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I love him. He replied by telling me to fuck off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Text him or something to convince him to talk to you. Try to explain to him what it is. If he doesnt understand or doesnt care, dump his ass.

He seems pretty ignorant if he thinks he can just get infected. I'm really sorry OP.

As a diabetic myself I can understand your pain of having someone not understand what it is. If he's not willing to listen and find out more about diabetes then he's not worth your time.
anon3345543211 12
As a fellow diabetic I completely agree with you

1/ He refuses to talk to you because you're sick 2/ He's dumb enough to think that diabetes is contagious I'd say it's time to rejoice over the end of this relationship.
Wowxoxo 17
Diabetes is contagious in a sense for type 2 diabetes is a result of a person's lifestyle and OP's lifestyle may influence what her boyfriend eats.. You see this all the time with obese parents feeding their soon-to-be obese kids McDonald's. Nonetheless the way the FML is written, FYL OP (for the diabetes and the bf)

One doesn't have to be obese to get diabetes
monnanon 14
@35 that is got to be one of the silliest things i have ever read. nothing about diabetes is contagious, hereditary maybr but not contagious.
Lady_Face 12
What if OP has type 1? And just because you're obese does not mean you WILL get type 2 diabetes.

he probably thinks youre full of sh*t
isallwaysme 27
think about who you're stuck with right now. since he didn't know you had diabetes, Im assuming your relationship hasn't been for very long, so you could dump him without feeling bad.
Dynosaur_dollie 38
that's not a fair assumption, what if she just learned she has diabetes as well? That said though I personally think she should ditch him, I mean that relationship is pretty one sided if he can't even be bothered with a quick Google search. Most people can even manage that from their phone.

I agree with #61. My dad has only been recently diagnosed with diabetes, and I've been around him for well.. My entire life. It can happen at any time.
isallwaysme 27
never thought that through! good points guys

Oh honey, if your boyfriend is that ignorant, you might want to get a new one, or at least educate him.
pedinhuh 23
You can't fix stupidity

57 - But you can fix ignorance. Worth a shot ;)

Dump him and find someone who isn't stupid my mother has type two Diabetes and if I nor my father and siblings caught it chances are its not one of those diseases you can catch in short research should be something you do before assuming you can catch a disease someone has
RonnieG 10
it's actually NOT a disease you can catch.
rocker_chick105 31
How about some punctuation. A period? Comma? Please?
naiveprophet 15
Wow, maybe do some research yourself there, genius. Your own mother has diabetes, and you're saying "chances are" it's not contagious? There's no chance about it! It's not contagious! Period!

when i started going out with my boyfriend he was the same, i have multiple sclerosis and he was convinced he could get it off me.... a few google searches later and that shut him up! 7 years later we're still together and he brings me to all my hospital appointment... its just a matter of sitting him down and talking to him about it. its new to him.
fleur_de_fevrier_fml 23
Yeah but did your boyfriend refuse to talk to you when he found out?
kerrygirl 13
well no, but i still think its more that he's scared of something he doesn't understand more than anything else. she needs to get him to sit down and talk about it or it could just be that he's a total prick!
Dynosaur_dollie 38
I am going with the total prick option...

ive lucked out with partners who took the initiation to do the research since im pre diabetic. just suggest he look into the American diabetes association or other similar sites. if he refuses to educate himself on a disease that is affecting a supposed loved one then id move on.
Ali_Br_fml 33
I'm glad your partners took the initiative and did some research. Too bad not all partners are like that...
buddy51 23
Well, OP, that's bloody awful! No sugar for the idiot BF! At least you can treat and manage diabetes! Your poor BF is infected with a bad case of stupid and there's just no cure for that.... I'd suggest a healthy diet of a better BF as a way to keep you insulinated against the sweet sweet stupidity of your ex....
d4m4s74 12
Puns intended? Sugar is obvious, but treat is not
buddy51 23
How about "insulinated"?
