Today, I went with my boyfriend to the optometrist for him to buy contact lenses for the first time. He said the detail was much better than glasses. I excitedly asked him if he could see my freckles better now, and after a long and disappointed look at my face, he said "Nope, just more acne." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work as an optician, I gave a little girl a new pair of glasses and asked her if she could see better with them. She replied, "Oh, yeah, you've got two big zits on your nose!" FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were cuddling in bed. After looking at me for a while he said, "you look better when I'm not wearing my contacts". FML
Today, I woke up next to my boyfriend. He gazed at me, stroked my cheek, and said, "Christ, you really need something for this acne." FML
Today, I was romantically cuddling with my boyfriend. He looked deep into my eyes, stared lovingly at me, and said, "I never noticed, but you have the most adorable freckles on your face..." Blushing, I tilted my head to the side. He then said, "Oh, never mind, those are just your blackheads." FML
Today, I went to the eye doctor. He tells me that I've developed a severe allergy to contact lenses and must stop wearing them immediately. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't just visited him a week earlier, paid for a new prescription and ordered a year's worth of brand new lenses. FML
Today, I was with my boyfriend and I said that I was self-conscious of my acne. He told me that only one of my zits was noticeable and that it wasn't so bad. In fact he said it looked cool, like a bullet wound or something "awesome" like that. FML
Today, I noticed that my acne has gotten so bad, I can see it out of my peripheral vision. FML
Today, my boyfriend gushed for several minutes about how amazing it is that I suddenly look hot when he takes his glasses off. FML
Today, my boyfriend saw me without make-up for the first time we've been dating for two years. He freaked because he didn't know who I was. FML
Today, my boyfriend said that no, I'm not allowed to get glasses and then accused me of wanting to see other men. No, I just want to see. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tell him you also want to get contacts so that maybe you'll see more dick.

Awwe to bad. But at least he hasn't broken up with you over that. Some guys I know would. And your skin will clear up eventually I'm sure.

It's just 3D tech, don't worry about it. Why were you proud of your freckles though?

a little bit of freckles don't look that bad

Came here to ask same question. Who gets excited about facial freckles?

Well whats wrong with freckles?

Ops boyfriend probably didn't know she had freckles that was probably brought up between them earlier. Now op bf can see better she asked if he could see her freckles. She wasn't exited or proud, just asking.
notsorandomguy 18
19 - That might be true. But OP was most definitely excited, the FML says : "excitedly asked".
marscm55 11
22: sorry, failed at thumbing you up. I think it was more of that she was excited he could see better and was hoping now he could actually see what she maybe pointed out earlier that he couldn't see. Not excited for having freckles, just excited for that maybe he could see what she was talking about,

What the heck do people have against freckles? It's stupid to think that freckles are ugly. It's stupid to constantly cover up your faces with ugly makeup to hide freckles. It's stupid that freckled people have no hope in any kind of beauty industry. Freckles are beautiful, cute and adorable, even in men! I can understand that people have preferences in the kind of traits that they're attracted to. If freckles don't do it for you, that's understandable. However, that does NOT make that person ugly. I hold the same views for the occasional mole.

I think freckles are cute :)

I don't think freckles are ugly. It's just that they're not exactlt meant to be the pride of your life.

I don't understand people. Just lie and say you see them! It causes no harm!!

There's nothing wrong with freckles. I love mine! And it seems OP does too. :3

29- Nobody really said they're ugly. They just said there's not really a reason to be excited about them- because there's not. I have a tiny little mole on my cheek that I think is cute but I don't go up to people and say- Can you see my mole?!

I ******* love my freckles.

Any one who breaks up over skin problems does not deserve a girlfriend/boyfriend.

I'm sure he also meant it as a tiny little joke so there isn't anything to really worry about. Humor in a relationship helps it stay strong.

Why would you want your freckles to be more visible...
onlychildFTW 34
Some people think freckles are cute. I am one of those people. Moles are another story though.
ProfessionalTrol_fml 14
Alright, guess its just a matter of opinion
onlychildFTW 34
Yes it is. Yes it is. Everyone this there own thing. If they didn't. This world would be BORING. With a capital B-O-R-I-N-G.

A face with no freckles is like a nightsky with no stars ^^

Personal pet peeve: when women hide their beautiful freckles under a layer of disgusting makeup.
threer 30
We hide our freckles because of people like the original commenter.

If you don't have anything nice to say, dont say it :/
onlychildFTW 34
In his defense, she did ask. But I guess he should have taken the approach when a girl asks how they look. No matter what respond with "you look so beautiful" it saves a lot of time, effort, feelings, and will prevent anger. Even if she says be 100% honest.

8 - Son, when a woman asks you how she looks, never ever be 100% honest.

Hey everyone call this number now 907-602-0875 it's my friends number and I feel like prancing him
Keevarou 17
The good news is that his vision is much clearer/sharper now ^^ What he said was just unlucky, and he cares enough to be honest!:) So that shows the trust you two have for each other, have a nice day :)
xStaciexLynnx 15
Or it shows that he's a dick..
robinhood007 9
Or both! But an honest dick is better than just a dick :) look in the bright side!
