Today, my boyfriend and I talked about our past relationships. He said he broke up with his last girlfriend because she was "too smart" for him, and that he felt better being with someone who "doesn't have too many lights on upstairs, if you know what I mean." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend and I were talking about our past relationships. He told me that he broke up with his last girlfriend because she was smart and he suited someone who was quite stupid. He then went on to say that I was perfect for him. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were in bed and I asked him why he was with me. His answer was, "Well, the last girl I dated was really smart and she always made me feel dumb, so I decided to switch things up a bit. You make me feel like a genius, babe." FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said he needed to be with someone smart so that he could impress his parents. I just got accepted into medical school. When I pointed that out to him, he added that he needed to be with someone attractive. FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend refer to me as a “pretty but dumb chick” because I like horror movies and comedies over his boring pseudo intellectual dramas. I literally have two degrees and I'm working on a third, while he has neither, yet he thinks he’s smarter than me because of movies. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me, because I was apparently "too good" for her. FML
Today, I jokingly asked my boyfriend of one year, "Why is someone as smart, funny and as handsome as you with someone like me?" He replied, "Opposites attract." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were at a restaurant with a few other couples, and my boyfriend started to rant on how "all the hot chicks are dumb." Apparently, I'm either ugly or stupid. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because he wasn't feeling our two-month relationship was up to par with his parents' 30-year marriage, and, furthermore, I wasn't similar enough to his mother. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years accidentally admitted to me that he settled for me because he doesn't think he can do any better. FML
Today, my boyfriend got rejected by his dream college. In an effort to comfort him, I told him that he is incredibly smart and that it's their loss. He replied, "Of course you think so, you're an idiot!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Or too honest...
Damian95 16
Or stupid enough to voice out loud an opinion only a cave man would have.

FML should make it so that the OPs can comment on their own posts.
Julianne_sings 10
@42, they can, actually.
Jewish_Nazi_666 2
43 Oh, I never saw any OP comment on their own post thats why. ******* bastards down voted my comment -_-

Time to dump his ass for doubting your intelligence.
XxDevilxXGt 26
He's not doubting anything, he's just saying she's dumb.
ColdplaySucks 18
But what if she really is not that smart? Is it right for her to dump him for being honest?
YaSlickWilly 8
Has anyone thought he may have been joking?
feelingold 18
Only one way to test this out. OP, where is Canada??
Ki11erC 18
93 - Seeing as OP isn't American they actually probably know that, smart or not.
generalasskicker 12
Shouldn't living in America give me an advantage to knowing where Canada is?

@97: It was a reference to a previous FML.

Maybe his last gf WAS too smart for him... Like bending spoons with her mind smart

Even IF it's true, that's the sort of thing you keep to yourself. Saying it achieves nothing, other than hurting someone you should care about, or shouldn't be with at all if you don't. Unless he was trying to be funny, everyone fails there at some point.

Revealing your own ignorance always benefits those around you. Stupid people, like farts, should glow so they can be avoided.

Little racist about the godzilla part man, you took it too far.

Nothing is taking it too far, you Sensitive Sally.

good idea, then she will definitely prove her inferior intellect to him, and he'll love her forever!
BeachGirl27 23
Abso-bloody-lutely! LOL!
jmcr 27
Get out fast that kind of thought pattern is not going to be well for you if you stay with him

I actually pity men who are afraid of bright women. Living with a mindset similar to that in the dark ages must be rough....
TheDrifter 24
Odd factoid, medieval men preferred smart wives, as they were in charge of child rearing and an ignorant or stupid son was considered shameful. How they treated those wives however, lives up to the stereotype.

Huh. Learn something new every day!

so rule of thumb... or rule of the wrist... anyone?

Maybe should tell him your last boyfriend had too many lights on downstairs ;) if you know what i mean.
golden_warrior 23
This doesn't make sense but we get what you mean
Melissa92_fml 13
You made it sound like he had too many testicles, haha.
KBurns207 17
That's just plain rude.
fuckedPriceless 17
Tell him you're surprised, because that's exactly why you are dating him!
thanhmaaai 9
Well now maybe you should break up with him for being an asshole. You're smart enough to know what's worth your time, OP! And he is not if he doubts your intelligence.
