Today, I was on the phone with my boyfriend. We were messing around and I always jokingly say, "You're adopted, nobody loves you!" to everybody. His reply, "That's pretty fucked up, I am adopted." He really was. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I let my step-father know exactly what I thought of him. After a few moments of awkward silence, he leaned towards me and quietly whispered, "Well you're adopted. Your parents never loved you." FML
Today, my mom was screaming at me and said, "I wish I'd never adopted you." I guess I'm adopted then. FML
Today, a guy in my class was talking about himself. He started his story with, "When I was little, I was a ginger." I replied without thinking, "Is that why you got put up for adoption?" Him being adopted was the actual story he wanted to tell. FML
Today, I overheard my parents arguing over who had to tell me that I'm adopted. FML
Today, I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone. After a short pause I hear him say "I love you." Smiling I say, "I love you too." Then he says, "I was talking to my dog." 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 hanging out with my boyfriend. Everything seemed to be going well, when all of a sudden he turned to look at me with a pensive and thoughtful expression. I expected him to say something important, but instead he just said, "I was wondering, how does it feel to be fat?" FML
Today, after a tiff with my boyfriend, I said to him, "You could at least PRETEND to love me sometimes." He responded with, "I do pretend to love you!" FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I love him. He replied by telling me to fuck off. FML
Today, I learned I was adopted and that my parents had died in a car accident when I was really young. My girlfriend was sitting next to me when I got the news, and several hours later broke up with me in a text stating, "I don't want to be with someone who doesn't have real parents." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He needs to get the **** over it. I'm adopted and I get that joke all the time. I laugh and respond with "Hahahaha, It's funny cuz' It's true!"... most of the time they respond with silence. And being adopted means absolutely nothing. Ok, so the people I love are not biological... woopty ******* doo. I hate my biological parents for bringing me into this forsaken world. I wouldn't worry about it.

I loved every part of your post up until the part about being brought into this forsaken world... We've got ice cream and stuffed-crust pizza and television and internet and oxygen and stuff... I'd say this world ain't that bad.... ;-)

I respect you for being tough as nails man..the truth is some people aren't as good at coping with something like that as you are. And that silence is because they knew they had said something they regret.

You seriously need to stop saying that. Even if it's meant as a joke and said to someone who isn't adopt it still sounds really mean. Also, why do people say those sort of things with the implication that parents don't love their adopted children? I'd think adoptive parents would love their children even more because they picked them. I plan on adopting two little girls when I'm older, and I'm sure I'd love them very much.

That was a pretty rude thing to say. I used to call everyone a bastard, even just joking around. But one day I called my boyfriend a bastard then remembered that his biological dad left him when he was little. Did I feel terrible? Yeah. Just watch what you say next time.

YDI for not even bothering to learn that your boyfriend was adopted to begin with. YDI even more for saying such an awful thing.

Being adopted ins't always something that is broadcasted. Some of us just keep in on the downlow. I say it because It helps other get over with it as well if they were adopted.

"Today, my girlfriend found out I am adopted. FML."

Overreaction ftw! (I was referring to this thread, but that applies to the OP's boyfriend as well). Seriously, people in general (and especially on FML) need to lighten up and get a sense of humor.
