FMyLife - Get the guts to spill the beans
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents. Later on, his mom pulls me aside and tells me to back off, saying he will never marry someone like me and he should be with a nice girl like his ex. They broke up after he found her in his bed with his roomate. FML
wow.. his mom sounds like a psycho retard
I think you need to settle down. Maybe he didn't tell his parents why he broke up with his ex.
Maybe op is a bitch
Tell his mum that youll make him dinner everyday, and clean up all the time
Lmao 31 I actually agree, at least his mom will think you are useful.
tell her to back off, and that a controlling b**** isnot what he needs in his life
well at least ur not fn his roommates well I hope ur not.. :P
I think you said no to the threesome
wow, wat a bitch well show her that ur better and that u'll stay with her son as long as u want. she'll get over it
Ignore the bitch. I bet she had been a similar slut like your boyfriend's X. But still be respectful. May be his X gave her mother more attention than you do. Work on her. The kind she seems, she will melt down easily.
You is spelt you. Not u. And what is spelt what. Hope this helps.
Ugh that sucks. Moms should just mind their own business!
i agree... stay out of it mom. they think they know everything except for the few wise ones.
Haha, let that bitch know what's up, and tell her to back the fuck off herself!
i hope you told her what you told us!!!
Dump your boyfriend then and there, and tell him the reason. Having a piece of shit mother-in-law will ruin your life, especially if you are marrying a mama's boy. If he has the cojones to cut the apron strings and win you back, you might have a chance.
That's a bit harsh, she shouldn't just cut and run because of her. It's not his fault that she's being a cow. Also - there's nothing there about him being a mama's boy so you can't just assume. He shouldnt have to win her back if its not his fault. To OP: That sucks. :( Don't listen to her, this is about you and him anyway, not her and what she wants.
Exactly. There's nothing about the boyfriend being a mama's boy. That said, however, this is definitely a situation to approach cautiously.
crazyarsedfly and Watchmaker, I know it sounds harsh and dramatic, but it would force the boyfriend to be decisive. If he loves her, he'd tell his mother, "Screw you, Mom, I love her," and then you two have a chance as a couple. If he caves into his mom's wishes, you will have had to share him with her until she died (and probably then some.) It just won't work. Getting along with your mother-in-law is great, but having her as an enemy will be miserable especially if your boyfriend/husband is not decidedly on your side.
Well said, although you are going on a bit of info that wasn't given. I've dated plenty of girls who weren't "daddy's little girl" and couldn't stand being around their dads. But that didn't stop said dads from telling me exactly what their little angel wanted in life (9/10 times it was the exact opposite of what the girl actually wanted for herself) and how I would never amount to anything, would ruin her life, etc. etc. Funny thing is now with my MBA, my starter salary here at my new job is more than most of theirs, but eh. I guess I'll always be a deadbeat in their eyes, simply by virtue of having testicles. Don't underestimate how much parents will assume romance is the antithesis of success. Helicopter parents don't automatically mean momma's boy/daddy's girl.
Marriage is never the answer...You should have told her you're not planning on marrying him just having a lot of sex
That might give the crazy lady a heart attack. It would be funny as hell to see her reaction though.
Erindub, I totally approve. And FTW, I'm more likely to be closer to the mom's age than the couple's! That said, she needs to tell her boyfriend immediately what happened. What happens next -- well, my hunch is she knows what to do.
i would totally dump him. his mom sounds like a crazy bitch.
you dump people over things they cant control? like their mom? so if a nice guy who had a father who left them when they were little but their dad beat women and was an asshole like the boyfriend's mom, you would dump him. Thats a little stupid. OP should tell the boyfriend what happened. It is then his job to set it straight. I dont disrespect my mom but i would have to if i were in that case. I would chew her out for talking to someone that I care about that way. I would tell her to back off because she doesnt control my life. and that if she cant except who i choose to date then we wont be back around. Like if my sister or my friend had a problem with my girlfriend or kept treating her in a rude and disrespectful way. It wouldnt be her job to set them straight. It would be mine.
Accept not except. Nice try though.
and you didn't tell her this why?
"Look, back off cunt! My son should've stayed with his nice, wonderful ex-girlfriend instead of you!" You: What the fuck? His ex-girlfriend CHEATED on him....bitch."
Might be time to let that particular cat out of the bag. She already hates you, so you have nothing to lose by making her put her foot in her mouth.
"Oh, you mean the ex-girlfriend who fucked his roommate in his own bed?" Just tell her where to get off. It's that simple.
OP: do not say anything nasty to the mother, or mention the reason her son and his ex broke up. That will just emphasize her opinion of you as the lesser girl, besides thats between the son and the ex, not between you and the mother. Chances are the ex was very nice and respectful to the mothers face and that is why the mother liked her so much. So be nice, maintain proper bounderies (do not get to comfortable in thier house and watch what you say and how you say it), be very polite and respectful and the Mother will probably come round. JUST WATCH WHAT YOU SAY AND DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BECOME OVERLY COMFORTABLE AND FAMILIAR AROUND THE MOTHER, she may be very uptight and find it rude.
Lmfao wow what a psyco mammy ;)
Smack the bitch.
That happened to me when I first met my husbands parents, then after we got engaged she tried to guilt me into leaving him (saying I could never make him happy) and then she tried to walk out of our wedding. Just ignore the biatch, and once he's yours move far away.
She sounds psychotic -- maybe you should get her tested.
haha she is such a fail. tell your boyfriend about it and talk about it with him. also, hang out at your place never at his! i'm sure he will understand and if he doesn't, just dump him.
At least now you know what you need to do to win the mom over. I'm sure the roommate will be happy.
Thats when you say "Excuse me? How rude of you to say that to me. You know what, I think it's 'you' who needs to back off. Oh and FYI that 'nice' ex girl friend you liked so much CHEATED on your son with his room mate. Don't believe me? Ask him yourself. Trust me your son will be happy as long as he doesn't rely on his mothers terrible judge of character." Then walk away.
I would have brought him into the conversation at that point, and had HIM tell her. I think she believes the ex-girlfriend is better because she doesn't Know. Maybe she would look at you differently if she knew about the ex.
If my girlfriend's mother / father said that to me... Oh... I'd tell them off: "Look, bitch. I love your daughter and she loves me. Just because you don't like that doesn't mean you have to fucking mess US up! Last time I checked it was OUR CHOICE and not YOURS!" And leave them to wallow in their stupidity.
Wat the hell is rong with her FYL
wow, thsts fuckin' terrible. i would have been devastated if i was in the same situation when meeting my girlfriend's parents.
Psycho bitch. Damn.
It's only an FML because if you do end up marrying him, you'll have that psycho bitch for a mother-in-law.
damn I would have embaressed her... she should of told her that
Monster-in-law? Hahaha. OP, either learn to deal with her or move on with your life. There are only two choices.
you should tell your man what she said, and i'm sure he will tell his mum what his charming ex g/f did to him, and that you are a much nicer person and that his mum should keep her opinions to herself unless she knows all the facts! or just keep them to herself anyway...lol

wow, ok npw that hurts! maybe you should try telling her that your acctualy a nice person. then invote her over for old fashioned tea ;P
so you are worse than a slut
Make sure you dont get caught.
Damnrosi, I totally agree. OP: This is a situation that can spiral out of control really quickly. Please do not give her any ammo that she can use at a later date to discredit you by being disrespectful to her. Trust me anything you do and say, will be remembered and relayed to your son at any given opportunity that you are not within earshot. Like when she is on the phone to him. Or when he visits her without you. Or if you dont happen to live together, when she visits him. It is best to be polite and courteous to her (no matter what she says) and whatever you do, dont bitch to your boyfriend about her. Otherwise you could find yourself in a situation where the boyfriend is attacking you for supposedly disrespecting her - and when you tell him about her behaviour, he not only wont believe you but he will get defensive, he may feel that you are making him take sides. This will be the beginning of the end for the relationship because most guys faced with a choice between their family or their girlfriend will pick the family. DONT respond to her baiting because this will reinforce in her mind that her assessment of you is correct. If you must, take the mother aside and have a private conversation with her. Ask her gently why she feels the way she does. You may find she has nothing against you, she just misses the ex-girlfriend's friendship.
If your boyfriend doesn't stand up for you, walk away.
Tell the mom what she needs to hear and if still her views dont change listen to #50
Show her how awesome you are, show her how strong you are, show her that YOU are the girl in your boyfriends life, not her.
Show her that you are, in fact, a cartoon superhero. Aw go on, just show her anything. Show her. GO ON, SHOW HER..NOW... Sorry, too much?
I always liked the girls my mom hated the best... so far it has worked out OK.
Tell your boyfriend about it and then ignore his psycho mother. After all, you're dating him not her.
She seems like a retard. Don't listen to retards. Doing that will get a country into 2 wars with no foreseeable end, for example.
Lol
Sounds like his mom is a trouble maker.
Similar thing happened to me. My boyfriend's parents hate me but they loved his ex. She cheated on him.
YDI for being a carioca! jk ;) (cresci no são paulo..) but really, that sucks big time. does she know?
Tell them to shove it up their ass. He's yours! Lay down some ground rules!
