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, 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

A.) I don't understand how you couldn't know something so important about your "boyfriend's" life. B.) Where do you get your ideas from? I know it's a joke, but seriously, couldn't you think of something that's actually... I don't know what word I'm looking for. Funny?!??! C.) Sorry to tell you but the reason your life is f***ed is not because you said that to your boyfriend and he happens to be adopted, but because his adoptive parents probably love him so much more than your actual parents love you. Adoptive parents would love a child more than a biological parent would love a mistake, and you never know if you were really a mistake or not. Some adoptive parents even think of their child as a miracle because they wouldn't have a child any other way. YDI and FYL for being so inconsiderate without meaning to, but the only thing you can do in the end is apologize and hope he forgives you.

No, OP, you have it wrong. Adopted children are loved. That's why they're adopted. It's supposed to be nobody loves orphans. That's why they're orphans.

Erm orphans aren't orphans because no one loves them. They're orphans because their parents have died. If they are abandoned maybe, but someone would love them.

How do you not know that about your own boyfriend? If you did, why say that? In fact, why say that to anybody?

You're adopted, your parents didn't love you because they new you'd grow up into a dick so they gave you away. No body will ever love you. Hah. ******* get a sense of humour people.
