Nice!

By ugh thanks - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States - Dayton

Today, I asked my husband to tell me something nice about myself. He thought for a few moments, then said, "Uh, you shit quietly." FML

I hate when people fish for compliments and then get upset when they don't get the response they want.

I told my boyfriend and his reply was that I don't. lovely.

I feel bad that your self-esteem is so low that you have to ask your own husband to say something nice about you. He shouldn't need to be prompted to compliment you. He should do so on his own, at least every once in a while. Just as you should bolster his self-esteem every now and again. Also, asking a guy to come up with something romantic/kind spontaneously is just asking for trouble...

Don't ask a question if you can't handle the answer.

I don't think you realize that's a very attractive quality

Don't be pathetic. Find your own self worth, then be confident.

I knew there'd be loads of comments about "fishing for compliments". Everyone on here seems to get so upset about these kind of fmls! If I'm having a bad day or I'm not feeling too good about myself, I don't see what would be wrong about asking my boyfriend to boost my confidence a bit. People should be able to talk to their partners about their insecurities without being accused of "fishing for compliments".

#100...Wow, since I am single I guess it's a good thing I don't need anyone to boost my self confidence. I don't know how I would be able to get up in the morning....

What? I'm not saying I *need* my boyfriend to boost my confidence, I just like to think that I'd be able to go to him with any insecurities or worries that I might be having and have him make me feel a little better. I don't see what's so wrong with that. It doesn't just go for romantic partners either, I think people should be allowed to confide their insecurities to the people they're close to without people bitching about it.

you dont always catch fish when you go fishing

This FML literally made me have diarrhea

This post literally made me choke on a tic tac and then puke. Nicely done
