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

You're such a dumbass, why compare her to an animal when you can just say: your beautiful or ask her what's wrong.

Strong legs good. Horse legs bad. It's not that complicated.

as someone with an eating disorder, both would be really bad. strong equals big, big equals bad.. (I know it's not true, but for me it is. And probably for this girl too)

Dude that sucks. I hope you learned the first rule of dealing with depressed women (or anyone)... NEVER make a statement that can have a "bad side". Pessimism really makes it hard to take a compliment. Until your next screw-up due to lack of proper thought.

Oh my god, don't say that to a girl, ever! I doubt she wanted to hear she has strong legs anyway. I know I wouldn't want to hear that "compliment."

wow I've never said this on the Internet and now is the second time in a day. As someone with an eating disorder, strong legs is just as bad as fat. Strong equals big, and big equals bad. I know that big isn't necessarily bad for most people, but to me it is. and I'm thinking it was just as bad for this girl as it would've been for me.

What a whiner. I mean really, that shouldn't have been so upsetting. Horses have super-thin legs anyway.

Wow, she was over-sensitive...but then she's going to be when she's depressed. You gave it your best shot, and while a horse is a funny thing to be compared to, it's not like you said she had a face like a horse. A horse is a beautiful, noble, and powerful animal.
