Today, while doing the grocery shopping with my boyfriend we came across another woman also out shopping, who looked shockingly like me despite her being another race, hair color and the like. The second he saw her, he blurted out, ''Oh, it's a pretty version of you!'' FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I watched as my Tinder date arrived at the coffee shop and mistook another woman for me. He never realized she was the wrong girl, and they spent the entire date together before leaving. The only similarity between me and the other woman was our hair. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me I have a doppelganger on campus who looks just like me, but way cuter. She got his phone number. FML
Today, while standing in line at the grocery store, I noticed that myself and the woman in front of me were wearing the same shirt. As she was about to leave, I said to her "Hey! I'm wearing that shirt!" She turned to me and replied, "Not in THIS size you aren't." FML
Today, I was walking along the street and passed a young couple. Over my shoulder I heard the girl say to her boyfriend, "Would you still love me if I looked like her?" FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mom stared at me throughout dinner before finally blurting out, "I'm sorry, I can't get past the fact that you look just like his ex!" It turns out I do. FML
Today, I saw my girlfriend at the store and joyfully greeted her. She got really mad at me - it was her identical twin sister, who I still cannot tell apart from my girlfriend. We've been dating for three years. FML
Today, my kid made a new friend at school. When I asked her to describe her new friend, she said, "She looks kinda like you, only pretty." FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend of two years is dating another girl. Not only do she and I share the same hair and eye color, but we also happen to have the same first name. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. While I was at the store, an employee came up to me and said, "You're beautiful!" When I came home I told my husband what had just happened. My husband then asked, "What was wrong with him?" FML
Today, I had to go to the mall for a quick errand. While there one of my friends who works at a phone booth was there and I stayed for a little bit chatting with him. While chatting, a girl passed by. She was so pretty that I blurted out, "What a woman!" out loud. Turns out it was my ex. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Aw OP don't be disgruntled, I'm sure there's a prettier version of him out there somewhere.

What a hurtful thing to say. I'm sure he didn't mean what he was implying but, shit, man, think before you speak!

Doesn't that mean that OP's boyfriend cares about more than just looks? Isn't that what you want?

When my husband and I were dating, he saw some mannequins wearing lingerie and said something like "Mmmm...skinny girls." He then looked at me with this smug confidence like he was about to drop the smoothest pantie-dropping line in history and said, "Not for me, though." I know that feel, OP...I know that feel...

Amazing how he thought that would be a compliment. Lol. It's almost funny.

My ex once blurted out "you have fat hips, it's refreshing. I'm so used to smaller girls..." palpable tension. I'm a UK 10 (US 6?) -__-

How would he like a bruised version of his face?

Op in his mind he was complimenting you, as you said she looked like you but with minor details, but his compliment became somewhat of an insult. Also please don't take the violent comments to heart.

Get a prettier version of him. You deserve someone else.

Don't take it to heart OP. For all we know, he blurted that out because she was you, but combined with other personal preferences he has that produced that reaction. Personally, I'd love it if Rihanna had some loose curls, so if I saw her with some, I'd be like "Wow, that's a pretty version of Rihanna!". Its not to say that she isn't pretty already, but the hair makes her SEEM prettier. That could be the what happened at the grocery store.

I once saw a prettier version of me. I was in the dorm elevator and this girl gets on and I'm like "she looks so familiar. Nose, hair, and everything." "I've seen that face somewhere...oh wait"

For a second I thought you said "nose hair" haha

Just look at him and say "Look it's a single version of you!"

There are no other races, we're all human. YDI

You're thinking of species. We're all the same species. Race is an invented word that only applies to humans, used to denote arbitrary inherited differences like skin color.
