Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Nice guy
Today, I asked my boyfriend of 5 years when he was going to propose to me because I wasn’t getting any younger. He responded with, “Well, ask yourself are you getting any skinnier? I need a trophy wife, you know?” FML

Today, I told my boyfriend that I didn't want to go out with him because I was having a fat day. After ten minutes of fighting, he threw a ring box on the floor and stormed out. I basically refused his proposal because of my body issues. FML

Today, my boyfriend of a year and a half informed me that he had "accepted" my stomach, even though it didn't conform to his "preference" for a flat stomach. He then added that his acceptance doesn't extend to my "chunky thighs". FML

Mr Romantic
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, my fitness trainer husband told me that if I could not make the commitment to stay thin, he could not make the commitment to stay with me. FML

Red flag
Today, the man I've liked for so long asked me out on a date. Three years ago I fell for him and he denied me unless I "lost 100lbs” Now I've lost about 85lbs (not because of him, but for myself) and he wants to give me the time of day. I still like him, but I feel like I have to watch my weight to keep him if I say “Yes.” FML

Target goals
Today, I officially completed my weight loss journey, only for my wife, who'd previously threatened to divorce me if I didn't lose weight, to tell me that she realized she liked me better when I was fat and that "you don't know what you have until it's gone." FML

That proposal deserves nothing more than rejection. You deserve nothing less than the best.

I hope he's kidding.

I hope you don't marry this guy. He's a jerk.

If he loved you, he wouldn't put conditions on marriage. I had thyroid cancer, and no thyroid at all is an uphill battle to lose weight. It's not that I binge on cookies every night. Weight loss is not just a simple overnight change, it is a lifelong battle! He may mean well for your health and life span. He is doing it wrong.

This guy is an asshole and shouldn't be married but, I think that everyone of both genders should try to be attractive to their partner. Simple solution, lose weight if necessary.

If he really loved you he wouldn't give you that kind of condition. If your weight was extremely unhealthy than I'd understand. If he isn't physically attracted to you but you think you're fine than he isn't worth your time. Just saying.

How on earth did you end up with someone so awful? Hopefully you posting this FML means that you said no.

DO NOT MARRY HIM! If he doesn't love you for who you are and requires you to get thin first, then screw him. He's not worth it and you can do much better then that. If he's making demands like this now, just think how he'll be when you're married. Sounds like the beginning of an abusive relationship to me.

Dear me, what a dreadful **** your betrothed sounds like.

Tact. Tact. Tact. That is the problem here. Maybe a better approach would have been, "Hey babe, will you go to the gym/on a hiking trail/cycling/what-have-you WITH me?" Personally, I believe that partners do have some degree of obligation to take care of themselves and be healthy. It's a big indicator for me. If you care enough about yourself, then you are capable enough of caring for me and we can have a healthy life together.
