Today, my wife and I decided to try a relationship book. The first activity was to write down some things your partner does that bothers you. I made a very long list, then my wife and I swapped papers. She'd written, "nothing, I love everything about you." She read my list and began tearing up. FML

Today, I went to therapy. Previously, I had been given the task to write a list of things I hate about myself so my doctor could see what we needed to work on. I gave her the list, and she simply said, "Wow, I've never had someone give me such a long list." I had 55 items on the list. FML

Today, after I'd offered to make suggestions to my partner after she finished writing an essay for her college class, and she'd read my suggestions, we argued about every single point I wrote down. Despite telling her she didn't have to take any suggestions we argued for 2 days about it. The professor had the same notes as mine. FML

Today, I was talking with my friend-turned boyfriend and cutely told him that I could no longer remember all the things that he used to do that bothered me. He told me he could remember every one of mine and listed them all off for me. FML

Today, I wrote my boyfriend a love letter during class and told him to read it when he got home. He texted me later asking me why I gave him my school assignment. I must have handed the love letter in to my teacher. FML

Today, my husband and I went to our first counseling sessions, where the main focus was communication. When the therapist called us in together to discuss techniques we could use at home, my husband looked around, rolled his eyes, and responded with, "Uh huh" to every question. FML

Today, depressed about a recent break-up with my long-term boyfriend, I bought a book about moving on after a relationship ends. The cashier placed some standard promotional fliers in my bag during check-out. Once home, I pulled out the fliers. They were for a married couples retreat. FML

Today, my girlfriend found a letter I'd written to myself for moral support while we were broken up, in which I explained why we would never work out. Apparently I made a convincing argument. FML

Today, I found some .pdf files on my wife's computer. They were forms that had been filled out except for the date and the "reason" section. They were divorce papers. When confronted about it she said, "Well, if you piss me off really bad, I want to write down why before I calm down." FML

Okay. Several things here. One, I'm not sure this qualifies as an FML. Two, no one, and I mean NO ONE, has absolutely nothing to complain about when it comes to marriage. This guy sounds respectable, and willing to say what's on his mind and not lie. She seems immature, and far too obsessed with a warped sense of perfection.

Hahaha, well, maybe y'all could work on striking a better balance. More positive compliments from you, more blunt honesty from her.

Well...if it makes you feel any better...even though I'm a woman...I even say your wife is lying. I love my boyfriend....but trust me, there is a LOOONG list of habits that bug me about him. Her saying that none of your habits, or behaviors bothers her....well, that's a flat out lie. At least you were honest with her.

FYL for being married to someone who can't be honest about her feelings. YDI for making your wife cry.

How did more people click "YDI?" In what universe do you people live? He was doing the right thing, she wasn't.

Well the book said write stuff down, and he did, you can't solve problems by saying you love everything about him now can you

Maybe she really couldn't find anything that annoyed her. Or maybe it was just that miniscule that it really didn't bother her all that much so she didnt write it down.
