Today, my boyfriend of 5 years admitted why his pet name for me is "his beautiful swan". Apparently, the first few years we were dating, he and his friends secretly referred to me as "the ugly duckling" because my sister was so much hotter. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned that the cute pet name my boyfriend has been calling me for the past month is actually an acronym for "pain in the a**". FML
Today, I realised that my boyfriend calls me "bitch" more often than he calls me by my actual name. FML
Today, after dating for almost five years, my boyfriend stated that I have a "perfect and amazing personality" but that my looks are not what he "envisioned himself spending the rest of his life with." In other words, I'm ugly. 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, me and the guy I was dating ran into my sister at the mall. He took one look at her and mumbled, "Great, I chose the ugly one" under his breath. FML
Today, my boyfriend compared me to an unattractive actress. When I said it was sort of messed up to say that to me since she's not pretty, he said, "She's not as bad as you." FML
Today, I overheard my husband of 3 years talking to our boss, an attractive blonde. She was telling him that she couldn't believe he was with me. She thinks I'm fat and ugly and that he's hot. He said, "She's not that bad…" We work in the same store and she follows him around like a puppy. 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, I realized that when my boyfriend said, "I'll love you forever" what he really meant was, "I'll love you until I meet your significantly more attractive sister." FML
Today, my sister's boyfriend said the only thing he'd change about her was her last name. My boyfriend told me he'd change the shape of my nose. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm sorry. :( At least you're with the one that loves you. His friends are just assholes. I'm sure you're beautiful. :)

That's right - he stayed with you for five years, despite the crap his friends probably gave him. So he's probably really friggen into you.

#5 #94 I don't think you guys really read it. Both his friends AND him called her the ugly duckling.

It says that HE and his friends referred to her as an ugly duckling. So he called her that too.

Uhh ... no. I couldn't be with a guy that looked at my sister or even dared compared me to someone when in a relationship. Love isn't about comparison. Then again, not everyone's all about the love. It's a superficial world.

If you can't stand being compared to other people, by what token is anyone supposed to appreciate you? Shouldn't they be with you because they have compared you to other people and think you're the best catch? Anything else would just be settling, right?

We're all intelligent people here, right? So I'm sure I don't need to point out to you that it was not the boyfriend who was making the comparisons but his friends. You knew that, right?

OH NO! I misread the post! Aparently we're NOT all intelegent people here.

Love is just a chemical reaction in the brain that has a half life of about 6 months. It's not like in the movies, sadly. Doesn't science suck?

too bad you're so self concious you can't stand being compared to others. looks like your only matches can only ever be idiots that are constantly self medicated that are with you only because nothing better came along

Actually it was him. It says in the FML that both his friends AND him called her the ugly duckling.

Are you serious? "Ugly" shouldn't be a park of ANY girl's nickname.
