Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend and I were in my backyard goofing around when he tried to pick me up. He couldn't. I jokingly tried to lift him. I did so without much effort. FML
Today, my boyfriend thought it would be romantic to pick me up, throw me over his shoulder and take me to the bedroom. Little did he know that he literally threw me over his shoulder, and I face-planted on the ground. FML
Today, my doctor told me that I have severely and permanently injured my shoulder. Last week, I attempted to lift more weight than I normally do in an effort to impress my boyfriend. He was not impressed. In fact he said that most kids can lift more than that. FML
Today, I was exercising, laid on my back, lifting weights over my head. My boyfriend thought it would be funny to casually sit by my feet and suddenly tickle them mercilessly. Caught off guard, I started wiggling, laughed and dropped the weights. On my face. FML
Today, my boyfriend tried to be romantic by dipping me backwards and kissing me. He dropped me on my butt, then stepped on my hand while trying to help me up. FML
Today, I was wrestling with my boyfriend, trying to prove to him that I was stronger. I did. He started crying. He then broke up with me because he couldn't be in a relationship in which his girlfriend was stronger than him. FML
Today, my overweight colleague twisted his ankle. He's pretty self-conscious about his weight, but I had a brain-fart and told him he shouldn't try to put too much weight on it. His feelings are more hurt than his ankle now. FML
Today, my girlfriend was feeling down because she has put on some weight. I tried to make her feel better by showing her I can still pick her up. I can, and I was even able to hide the fact that I shat myself doing it. I'm so romantic. FML
Today, my boyfriend grabbed my love handles. It tickled, so I giggled and squirmed out of his grip. He looked at me quizzically and said, "I'm surprised you still have feeling there with all that fat." FML
Today, I was at the gym with my boyfriend. He is a bit feminine, but it has never really bothered me. Until I realised I was lifting heavier weights than he was. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

All it proved is that OP's overweight

...Or he could have just lifted her up wrong.

#18 or he could be weak as hell
Wowxoxo 17
I think a better solution would be to encourage her to eat better! That way he can avoid back problems later down the line ;)

She thought she was overweight before and her bf broke his back while trying to prove her wrong so I mean just call it like it is
Melix 31
That's a good boyfriend right there.

#31 true. I can't life more than five to ten pounds with my back issues - time to see an orthopedist and diagnose that properly!

#39, just shut up. He threw out his back, not break it. And he could've lifted her up wrong. Quit jumping to conclusions.

How do y'all know she doesn't have a health condition? always so quick to judge

I'm very self-conscious, so when i first started going out with my bf, I wouldn't want him to pick me up because I thought I was too heavy but he would just tell me that the girl is never too heavy, the guy simply isn't strong enough :)

"he would just tell me that the girl is never too heavy, the guy simply isn't strong enough " This attitude is why fat women keep being able to date people out of their league, while men have to settle.

90- I didn't realize the men had no choice in the matter of who to "settle" for. Also, is there even such a thing as a league? Are people so narrow-minded as to think that two people can't love each other because one may be easier on the eyes than the other?

Well... he tried.

OP should take her boyfriend's back out of the garbage and let him try again!

OP can't be too fat- I mean, she has a boyfriend! At least that has to make her feel beautiful. **** the rest of the world- if your boyfriend loves you for who you are and how you look, you've got it all

#89 While I respect your comment. How about she loves herself first instead of basing her self worth on having a significant other

I doubt it's because you're overweight. If he picked you up funny (as in not with his legs) then it's not your weight that did that. Anything over 100 lbs could have thrown his back out.
reeane 10
Not really. Im about 105 pounds and my bf could lift me up with just one arm and he isnt "muscular" by any means.
CaptTeemo 10
You don't have to be muscular to be strong either.

I think she's just a tub.

Yes you do... I hope you're kidding...

#50 then what do you have to be?
TheDrifter 24
He didn't really think that one through did he?

I'm sorry OP, better luck next time

Plot twist: OP's boyfriend is actually just extremely weak whilst OP maintains a perfect body weight.

Well if you're thinking that you're over weight why not do something about it? Although the fact your bf threw his back out trying to lift you is embarassing and probably doesn't make you feel very good about yourself, you have no right to complain if you can do something to change it. Maybe you're just being a teenaged girl, thinking you're fat when you're really not-so in that case STAHP. He could have easily just lifted you the wrong way causing the back malfunction. My mom hurt her back lifting 30 lbs cus she did it improperly.

Or she could really be overweight but is too lazy to do anything about it so she guilts her boyfriend into telling her she is a healthy weight. Either is a very likely possibility nowadays.

Go to the gym together? Stuff like that's always fun when you're doing it with someone you like.
yourmurderscenex 13
I always like going with people I hate. so I can stare at them with an evil glare and think about how I'm going to kick their ass when I'm stronger. It's great motivation.
MissMustard 20
Maybe he just has poor technique? It's not a great determinant of whether you're overweight or not, OP!
