Today, I tried to impress my wife by doing a bunch of push-ups, despite having a bad shoulder. She told me my form sucks and that I'm an idiot. Now I can barely move my arm and I'm going to have to get it fixed. FML

Today, my wife yelled at me for not helping her rearrange the furniture. I have a sprained shoulder and have been ordered by my doctor to avoid heavy lifting. She said, "Move the couch or sleep on it." FML

Today, my doctor told me that I have severely and permanently injured my shoulder. Last week, I attempted to lift more weight than I normally do in an effort to impress my boyfriend. He was not impressed. In fact he said that most kids can lift more than that. FML

Today, I dislocated my shoulder doing a really big stretch when I woke up. After the doctor relocated it, my dad told me I still had to do my chores. No excuses. FML

Today, my husband yelled at me for not doing any household chores. I can barely move my hand without suffering excruciating pain, due to recent surgery to ease my arthritis, and my other hand is as bad as ever. I can barely work this phone, let alone wash dishes and iron clothes. FML

Jacked

Today, my wife asked when I was going back to the gym because I am developing a belly, which she finds disgusting. I've just had surgery on my thigh, which was her fault for asking, “What’s this thing do?” while grabbing the handle to the jack holding up my car, dropping the car on my leg. FML

Today, I went to the gym to try to get into shape. I pulled a muscle taking my sweater off in the locker room. FML

Today, after taking care not to hurt myself during my workout, I injured my shoulder extricating myself from my sports bra. FML

Today, I said that I'm not okay with my body. I'm not extremely obese, just gained some pounds, but it bugs me. My wife told me to search opportunities instead of excuses, and go to the f*ing gym. I'm still recovering after a serious accident and surgery, and I can't walk yet. FML

Can't say whether your form sucks from here, but she's clearly right that you're an idiot. You gonna try to do a bunch of jumping jacks after you have hip replacement surgery?

You're saying "YOU ARE wife's a ****" is correct? That makes you a **** as well, dude.

Actually, "you're" would not be correct. Nice try though.

Maybe this was just a bad day or something... but it seems like your marriage may need more work than your shoulder. Sorry, Dude.

She's probably worried about you and thinks calling you an idiot when you do a lot of push-ups with a bad shoulder will make you stop doing it. She cares, she's just doing it wrong. Tell her calling you an idiot doesn't help. You don't have to dump her, and it doesn't mean you have a horrible relationship. She probably just cares. And if she does care, it'll be easy for her to switch around and do something else to convince you to cut out doing things that are idiotic. I catch myself doing the same thing to my boyfriend sometimes; I grew up around that stuff and take it for granted that others don't mind. Thankfully he doesn't take it too hard, knows I mean well, and is patient about helping me change. Sounds like the same case with her to me, but if your wife treats you like you're an idiot all the time and not just when you're doing something that truthfully is stupid and harmful to yourself, then I'm sorry about your relationship and hope you get it fixed!!
