Today, I was snuggling in bed with my girlfriend. She was depressed, so I complimented her strong legs, saying they were "like a horse." I spent the next hour and a half trying to stop her crying. FML

Dude, some advice; if you EVER compare your girlfriend to an animal, make sure it isn't a huge animal that could be considered an indirect way of calling her fat. And even then, you're taking a big risk. When she's depressed, don't say much. Let her talk. She'll talk herself through it, all she needs is someone to listen to her and hold her. Someone who cares.

Maybe it would be a better idea to just snuggle with her and no stupid comments. If my girlfriend was depressed, I'd kiss her neck and tell her I love her and make her smile and laugh. :) But nice try. :P

Why would you try to compliment her by comparing her to a horse?

YDI because you obviously sub-consciously want to have sex with a horse. Buy her a "My Little Pony", a couple of sugar cubes, and nuzzle up to her.

YDI for thinking that "you've got horse legs" would pass for a compliment. (Especially if the reason she was depressed was because of self-confidence or body issues)

i think you didn't think about how should would react to that, did you? lmao, you really didn't ******* think that one through. (saying a girls legs are as strong as a horse isn't exactly something a girl would like to hear) YDI, think before you say things.

...never, *ever* tell women they're remotely like *any* animal, even the cutest ones on the planet. Just skip to the adjectives you're associating and leave out the nouns >.> Your heart was in the right place, buuuut... YDI for nothing thinking:-p

...I don't understand her reaction at all, and I'm a girl. Honestly, that seems like a pretty good compliment to me. I mean, it should have been obvious to her that you meant it as a compliment; therefore, she should have been able to deduce that you meant her legs were horselike with respect to their musculature rather than with respect to, for example, hair. If I had put a lot of effort into developing strong legs, I'd be overjoyed to have someone comment on them. I could understand it if she just said "Hey!" or something, but accepted the compliment after you explained what you meant. But to cry over it for an hour and a half? That's just a ridiculous overreaction. Who cares if you compared her to an animal? You meant it in a positive way, and that should be what counts.

Atleast you didnt call her a donkey or a cow.

I already saw this today on textsfromlastnight.com's page on facebook.
