Today, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by a drive-thru on the way to his place. I asked him to order a Coke for me, at which point he asked if I wanted to make it a Diet Coke. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at lunch I ordered a Coke. The waiter replied, "Diet Coke?" and I corrected him saying, "No, regular Coke." He shook his head and said again, "Diet Coke." FML
Today, my waiter turned to me and asked, "Let me guess, Miss I'm-not-fat-I'm-fluffy wants a Diet Coke?" FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were out to eat. The waiter came and asked what we wanted. My boyfriend said he wanted a cheeseburger and I told the waiter I'd have the same. My boyfriend looked at me and said, "Are you sure you don't want a salad?" FML
Today, while on a date, I accidentally ordered "diet water" instead of saying "diet coke". FML
Today, I went out to eat with a group of couples and my boyfriend. All my friends boyfriends paid for them. Mine didn't, and said that I should order off the diet menu. FML
Today, I went through a drive-thru and ordered a coffee. The cashier asked, “Hot or iced?” I panicked and said, “Yes.” We both just stared at each other until she said, “So… which one?” I wanted to drive away and never return. FML
Today, I ordered a Diet Coke with my meal from a fast food restaurant. Turns out, they didn't give me diet. My blood sugar spiked and I was sick for hours later. I'm a diabetic. FML
Today, I was lying on the couch with my boyfriend and was feeling tired, so I got a soda. I sat back down and surprised him with a passionate kiss. I also surprised him when I suddenly burped right into his mouth. FML
Today, I called my husband and asked him what he wanted from our favorite fast food place. A divorce. FML
Today, I was working the drive-thru at McDonalds, and as I handed out a Diet coke to the customer, the man started growling and yelled "HULK SMASH!" He smashed the cup with two fists and drove off. I was drenched in soda. FML

I doubt that there was any malicious intent, OP. And I'm sure that'd be confirmed if you asked the guy about it. Just don't dump him because of this like I'm so sure this website is going to tell you to.

May you please elaborate on how the hell this is a problem? I prefer the taste of diet to regular.

Innocent question?

Because so many people are wondering, it's not like this is an issue I was mad about. I was a little surprised and taken aback but it's not like he pissed me off or anything. And for people saying they prefer the taste of diet and don't see how it's a problem, we've been dating for 6 months and were friends for 5 months before dating. We've eaten out together countless times and I've never ordered a Diet Coke, always a regular. I was just thinking about it and so I made an FML about it is all. He was asking because it was relevant to a conversation he wanted to start about something he read.

Not really an FML. It's a valid question, suck it up.

The first thing that popped in my mind is he was being considerate. Regular and diet taste distinctly different to me, and I could immediately see myself asking the same thing of a girlfriend for taste preference only, not a thought of weight in my mind.

Do you regularly drink diet? If so, maybe he just noticed the change and didn't mean anything by it.

This should not be an FML.

He obviously didn't mean to imply anything. I prefer diet coke to regular coke, and sometimes there's a price difference

In a way diet drinks actually make you fetter because they make you more hungry.

Sodas have tons of sugar. Calories. Diet may be a slightly better option, OP. Says more about his concern for your health than your own personal health

Diet pop is worse for you than regular, and more likely to lead to weight gain. The artificial sweetner ***** with your body, which makes your body worse at responding to real sugar when you consume it.
