Today, I was video chatting with my boyfriend and his friends. When I stood up, he told his friend "See, she's not a twig!" I jokingly replied with, "So I'm fat?" After a few seconds of silence, his friend yelled, "It's a trap!" and left the chat. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Surprise
Today, I went to my boyfriend's work to surprise him. When I got there, I called him on his phone to tell him to turn around. I saw him look at his phone. His co-worker next to him asked who that was. He replied, "Just this fat chick I know." FML
Harsh
Today, my boyfriend sent me a text that said, "I can't be seen with you anymore. You're too fat." FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. Right when I arrived, his little sister said, "She's a lot fatter than you said!" 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 overheard my boyfriend and his friends talking in the next room. I smiled when my boyfriend called me beautiful, only to hear his friend laugh and say, "C'mon, dude. She has fat ankles and smells like deli meat." FML
Thanks!
Today, I was at my boyfriend's grandmother's house meeting her for the first time. I excused myself to the restroom and as I walked out of the room I heard her say, "You could do a lot better. She's fat." Then I heard my boyfriend reply, "I know." FML
Awful line of inquiry
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
I'm getting there!
Today, one of my worst nightmares as an overweight woman came true. My boyfriend showed me a video someone had recorded of us exercising together, and who was mocking my weight the entire time. FML
Bodyshaming ain't cool
Today, I was video chatting with my dad. He handed the phone to his wife, whose first words out of her mouth were, "Why are you getting so skinny?" This was also the same woman whose first words out of her mouth when they came to visit us 3 years ago was how much weight I've gained. FML
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

To be fair, discussing a girls weight is like having a parade through a mine field.

No OP, you're at the sweet spot between twig and fat... *takes cover just in case*

I love how she automatically assumes they are calling her fat...
ViRepz 28
What would you think they were talking about? Whether OP is a plant?

You're not stupid. That doesn't mean you're a genius.

No I asked #1 a serious question, the twig reference to me is sort of self explanatory.

She said she jokingly ask him that. She knew he wasn't but just wanted to pick on him. I've done it before too. It's stereotypical that women will react that way when weight is involved, so even if you don't actually feel that way sometimes you joke around to play up to it.
MolesterStallone 13
As in he said she wasn't a twig, but that could mean that she was still skinny but just not a twig, and the OP just assumed automatically that she was being called fat.

I think your missing the part where she says "jokingly".
TheCanucklehead 22
No 1. She's a woodbug
Fluffasuars_Rawr 15
ire said she jokingly asked. So I don't think she ment it. and Im pretty sure her boyfriends friend was just joking around as well.

From all that you only corrected "It"?
Ethrockerdude 6
She didn't assume. She said she was joking when she said that.

I get a feeling that if he "jokingly" said yes, op would make the FML about being called fat.

How rude! Time to have a serious talk with him...
laden_swallow09 35
No, it was dumb to assume that since one thing is not true, the polar opposite MUST be true. Even though she was joking, she intentionally put someone in that kind of compromising situation. THAT is rude.
PterodactylMan 23
Or she asked a question
Sfaizi24 17
I agree with 25. What she should have assumed is the friends thought she was a twig, and then on Skype they mearly noticed she's not a twig. Not a twig DOESN'T mean she's fat.

She said she was joking now how is that rude I really don't know with some girls it's stereotypical, they'll ask so you think I'm fat? I really don't honk that it's rude that she was joking around! They put themselves in that situation!

I agree with 94. She was just messing around. There's just some people in the world that can't take a joke, the boyfriends' friend being one of them. I mess around with my boyfriend with that stuff all the time. I love joking around, sarcasm is practically my second language. But when I say, "so you think I'm fat?" I don't personally think I'm fat. The only rude people in this FML was the boyfriend and his friends. The girl didn't set up a trap, they did.

The friend was smart by getting up and leaving. Because anything else they said from that point on would be used against them. Messing around or not.

indeed it was trap like Russian roulette with answers but the revolver is fully loaded
Krystal3408 32
She won't kill you. At least I think not.
BunnyRose 11
im sorry that happened. fyl.
rocker_chick105 31
You know, people keep telling me there's a button for that. You can't find it either huh?
ViRepz 28
Did you have a penis?
Misswildsides 22
^wtf? That's completely irrelevant.
laden_swallow09 35
Full agreement with 17. You're trying too hard, man. Just let the humor happen.
Obey_StudBoii 23
Wayyy off subject.

There are some commenters on here that should really keep it to one comment per FML. You're one of them :)

One of the best comments I've read in a long time, well done!

A walk through a minefield after being spun around until dizzy, with covered eyes and bound feet and a squalling pig in your arms. Approximately.

Not for all of us girls. I know that I myself prefer my boyfriend to be honest about my weight.

Discussing your girlfriends weight. A game with no winners.

You got yourself into that one

No, her boyfriend got her into it. Well played, OP.

False.

This would be a good time for your boyfriend to stuff some Twix bars in his mouth, butt from the sounds of it, you've eaten his entire supply!
LindsayxMoore 18
You both are very rude. I'm at the point that I'm not a twig but I'm not fat either. So why don't both of you shove a foot in your mouth or if you like i can shove one up your ass. Have a nice day.
perdix 31
#41, are you going to stick one foot in each of our asses simultaneously? You'd better have the cameras rolling because I've never seen that in ****, then again, I'm not much into the fetish stuff.

What a way to turn a comment back on someone! I could learn a lot from you two.
