Today, I was on the phone with my boyfriend. We were messing around and I always jokingly say, "You're adopted, nobody loves you!" to everybody. His reply, "That's pretty fucked up, I am adopted." He really was. FML

Today, I let my step-father know exactly what I thought of him. After a few moments of awkward silence, he leaned towards me and quietly whispered, "Well you're adopted. Your parents never loved you." FML

Today, a guy in my class was talking about himself. He started his story with, "When I was little, I was a ginger." I replied without thinking, "Is that why you got put up for adoption?" Him being adopted was the actual story he wanted to tell. FML

Today, I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone. After a short pause I hear him say "I love you." Smiling I say, "I love you too." Then he says, "I was talking to my dog." FML

Today, I was talking to my boyfriend, feeling pretty low. I said something along the lines of, "You like me even when I look like shit." He replied, "Ah, that's just how you naturally look." FML

Awful line of inquiry

Today, I was hanging out with my boyfriend. Everything seemed to be going well, when all of a sudden he turned to look at me with a pensive and thoughtful expression. I expected him to say something important, but instead he just said, "I was wondering, how does it feel to be fat?" FML

Today, I learned I was adopted and that my parents had died in a car accident when I was really young. My girlfriend was sitting next to me when I got the news, and several hours later broke up with me in a text stating, "I don't want to be with someone who doesn't have real parents." FML

Wow if I were him I would have dumped you right then and there. I am actually adopted and if someone told me no one loved me, I don't know what I'd do.

No one loves you. Now do what you didn't know you would do.

how does being adopted mean no one loves you? it means someone loved you enough to set up and pay for an adoption to raise you when your biological parents couldn't...being adopted myself, i'm pretty sure adoptive parent love works the exact same way as biological parent love.

it also means that your birth mother loved you enough to spend nine months carrying you and letting you grow inside her body...enough to give birth to you (i.e. go through one of the most painful things ever) only to hand you over to someone else so you can have a better life. the emotional (and physical) duress involved in that must be immense and i think it is indicative of intense love for the adopted child in question.
