Today, while having dinner with my boyfriend's family, his mom told me that it looks like I've gained quite some weight. When my boyfriend told her that this was a rude thing to say, she said it wasn't rude, just the truth. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I told my boyfriend that I gained a few pounds and thought I looked fat. He replied that I looked the same and that I shouldn't worry because he likes fat girls. I never thought I was fat before this. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's grandmother's house meeting her for the first time. I excused myself to the restroom and as I walked out of the room I heard her say, "You could do a lot better. She's fat." Then I heard my boyfriend reply, "I know." FML
Today, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML
Today, my aunt said that it looked like I lost some weight. I was pleased with this, since I've been trying to lose some. My mom, for some reason, thought it was insulting. She pulled me to aside to assure me that I most definitely don't look any skinnier. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. Right when I arrived, his little sister said, "She's a lot fatter than you said!" FML
Today, I was invited to my boyfriend's house for dinner for the first time. His mom made a fantastic dinner, so I showed my appreciation by eating the lot. Apparently I was overdoing it because when I looked up everyone was staring. His dad muttered, "Slow the hell down." FML
Today, after being bodyshamed by my mother for being too fat (I'm a size 14) and how I shouldn't be wearing shorts because it makes me look ugly and motivates people to comment on my body, I texted my boyfriend to tell him about it. His reply was, "Aww. you cutie. You know she's not wrong." FML
Today, my girlfriend felt bad about a rude comment she made to me, and asked me to insult her in return. I told her she was getting fat. Wrong move; now she's not speaking to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend out of the blue told me I wasn't fat, that my stomach was flat and it was only my butt that was big. I thought that this was a compliment. His response? "Not at all". FML
Today, I asked a girl at the restaurant I work at if she'd had enough to eat. When she said yes, I said, "Are you sure?" I didn't realize how insulting it sounded until her equally overweight mom was up in my face, demanding to see my manager. FML

She doesn't like you. At least your boyfriend stood up for you?

This is actually a nice FML. I can't remember the last time I saw an FML where the boyfriend stood up for the girlfriend.

I don't see how the boyfriend telling his mom she was rude was exactly standing up for his girlfriend. Anyone in their right mind would think the mother's comment was rude - mainly because she has no place in this gals life to offer such a personal opinion! What he said was just shy of outright agreeing with his mom. I'd dump them both before venturing into a lifetime of put-downs from a woman who clearly doesn't want you around ...

Some men just sit there and say nothing. Some of them are to weak or to much of a mama's boy to stand up to their mother and tell them they were wrong. Saying nothing at all would be more of an agreement than what he did say. So even though he could of said something more he still defended her. If he had an issue with he weight he would of mentioned it or he definitely wouldnt of said anything when his mother did.

look people, the mom didn't say op was fat or overweight, just gained some weight. I don't understand why everyone is jumping to the conclusion that op is fat/ obese/ overweight, when that was never said.

Well, I don’t know about other people, but the way OP worded it sounded as if she is fat. I’m not trying to be rude to OP, though.

At least your boyfriend stood up to his mum for you. I am sorry that she told you the truth, even though it was brutally honest. But still, she should’ve just kept her mouth shut.

Shame you didn't say something like -yeah, I always stress eat when I know i'm going to be dealing with a mega bitch- or something any of the other hilarious posters have said.
