Today, I asked my boyfriend what he wanted for Christmas. He then told me that he would only tell me if I promised not to get mad, so I agreed. He told me that he wants me to start working out because I'm getting fat. FML

This is called honesty. The best gift he could give you.

We don't get in trouble if we lie about their looks, they like when we do.

Not all of us! If my guy pretended not to notice the weight I've put on it would sabotage my motivation for losing the weight! Lying is never good for a relationship. If your gal has a problem with you being honest, she's f-ed in the head. The way I see it, chemistry is the main foundation of love, what makes it different from friendship. If either partner damages the chemistry, whether it be by getting fat, showering too seldom, chewing with their mouth open or whatever, they're disrespecting the relationship. If you look gross, your partner CAN"T feel attracted, then they have 3 choices: sneak off to get their natural human needs met by someone hotter, dump you, or ask you to get your act together. This guy took the honorable road.

I don't see how this is fml, he told you that he sees your gaining weight. He didn't want to hurt your feelings. at least he didn't straight out call you out on it. basically he has been wanting to tell you this for a little while, there's no easy way to tell a woman that she's getting fat.

He could ask to start working out together. When asking someone what they want for Christmas, you don't expect to hear them say lose some weight. It wasn't the right moment to bring it up.

It was as good a time as any, to bring it up. If she is gaining weight, and it's enough for him to notice, she totally deserves this. It's pretty simple people, just because you got yourself a partner, does NOT mean it's ok to let yourself go. And you women wonder why we cheat? Because you let yourself go and we want to **** something attractive.

that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! saying a man will cheat because the woman 'let herself go' is putting the blame on the victim. if a man is going to cheat, he'll cheat. it has nothing to do with the woman he's with. some guys are just douchebags, like you, 98. and I agree, 54, talking about Christmas gifts is NOT the time to bring up weight gain. there's a little thing called TACT.

At least he didn't tell his personal trainer, "all I want are your sweet ******* in my face" because that would be an FML for hin

Get a personal trainer, then promptly shag him rotten. Everyone needs a good rogering.

guys who have those problems don't ask their GF to lose weight, put up with weight gain and are unhappy ... like you obviously are 'underpaid' ( and bitchy )

Don't be one of those idiots who does a little workout than treats themselves to more food. A trainer at my local gym said that getting good results from working out is 70% DIET. In other words, your boyfriend ought to have asked you to lay off the fruitcake and egg nog, you blimp.

100 times this. Most people deal with weight gain by hitting the gym, but it does *little* if it's not coupled with a healthy diet. And I don't mean one-lettuce-leaf-a-day diet, but a responsible, healthy diet, that can be sustained for life. Yeah, sounds hard. Thought so.

I 100% agree with perdix, for months I tried different types of exercises with no real results. Then I tried bettering my diet and lost 15 pounds.
