Today, my boyfriend told me I should stop talking about his major gambling problem because he still loves me even though I gained weight. Apparently that evens things out. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was telling my boyfriend about how self conscious I am and how I obsess about my weight. He said, "Don't be ridiculous, you don't need to lose THAT much weight." FML
Today, my boyfriend let me know that when we met, he wouldn't have even talked to me if I was as fat as I am now. But lucky for me, he stays with me because, "there's love or something." FML
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, my boyfriend admitted to purposely sabotaging all my weight loss efforts. When I confronted him, he said it’s because he doesn’t want me to get thin and turn into one of those stuck up, snobby, mean girl types that wouldn’t date him in high school. We’re in our 30s dude, get over it! FML
Today, I was talking to my boyfriend about how I'm self conscious about my weight. He looks at me and says, "Don't worry babe, I've always been kind of a chubby chaser." FML
Today, my boyfriend encouragingly told me that he could tell I was losing weight, all because I had one roll fewer than usual on my stomach. FML
Today, my chunky boyfriend told me that he'd be less attracted to me if I gained weight. I have low self-esteem. FML
Today, yet again. my boyfriend told me I'm getting fat, even after I told him to stop and that it's affecting my mental health. I had an eating disorder previously, and now I'm thinking about going back to just eating an apple a day. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I'm now about 15 pounds overweight. When I called him a hypocrite as he's over 40 pounds overweight, he said that his weight didn't matter because "it's the girl's job to look hot." FML
Today, I noticed that I've been gaining some weight. Don't worry, my boyfriend doesn't mind. His new favorite thing is putting my boobs on his head and saying he feels "safe". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Take a gamble and dump his ass.

There is no comparison, a gambling addiction will literally take everything from his life. If he doesn't get some help (do something about the issue) you shouldn't stay to see the destruction.

Yes, listen to this "guru" and throw away your relationship for something as little as that.

honestly, talking about someone's problems openly without their consent is rude as ****...

He was really rolling the dice with that one.

Actually 21, if he isn't willing to talk about a problem as big as a gambling addiction, OP should be thinking about moving on. Especially since he's comparing it to something that isn't that big of a deal, such as a weight gain.

Weight gain is indeed a big deal to some. **** the fat acceptance movement. I want a healthy (and healthy looking) woman. Don't tell me that "lazy lifestyle choices" is not a reasonable thing to take issue with. And before you bring up the "for some people it's thyroid problems blah blah blah," bear in mind that those instances are NOT common.

#34 okay but nobody said OP was overweight? it says that she gained weight. not that she gained a thousand pounds and has a diet solely made up of hot cheetos. like i get where you're coming from but honestly OP's partner is a sphincter balloon and could just be trying to hurt her as best he can. i dont know for sure, i wasnt there, but this is just how i read through it.

Your boyfriend is a moron.

Some people can't help the fact that they're addicted, and their mind can act strangely ;)

I'm willing to bet that he's a complete pig. Get out while you can and find someone worth taking a chance on.

Well depending on how much weight was gained that could end a life as well. There are a lot of bad things that happen at an increased rate to people that are overweight.

But can't being obese kill you..?
brianna1494 27
She didn't say she is mobi my obese, she said she gained weight. That can be going from 110-120
UhHuhHoney 20
That's so ****** up. Such a low blow.
feebae 11
Because he loves you he would accept that you have maybe gained weight, although gambling is a serious problem and in the long run, you would be better off without him spending all of your money.

Sounds like your boyfriend just has problems in general.
Jenniesaurus 14
Puns aside, you really need to either put your foot down about getting his addiction seen to, or leave before he starts getting in serious debt and relying on you to bail him out.

I see a mutual solution here, you hit the gym and he quit gambling and starting to act like a normal human being.

Sorry to be that guy but I think this FML is missing a word, probably "I", between though and gained.
