Today, I told my parents I wanted them to meet my new partner. My mom went into a rant about how she had known I was gay for a while and asked how I was going to tell my husband. I am straight, madly in love with my husband, and was referring to my business partner. FML

Okay, (it's OP) I need to make a couple of clarifications. I didn't include this part because there wasn't enough room in the FML submit thing, but after I told my mom I was referring to my business partner, she told me that she thinks I'm a lesbian not because of her fantastic maternal intuition, but because she thinks my husband is too much of an "ass bitch" for me to actually love him, and because I'm athletic. I wanted her to meet my business partner because my parents are involved in my business

oh how awkward!! i'm in a similar situation...my mum is waiting for me to come out of the closet and she keeps hinting at it aha

lol, it's funny, but just explain to your mother what you meant.

If she suspected her daughter and even if her daughter explains she might not want to hear no, she might be one of those people who likes to create drama and would keep accusing her of being gay.

ouch, maybe shoulda been more specific and said business partner instead of just partner

Dang, the English language makes for some unfortunate misunderstandings.

lol Maybe you should have said, "business partner" just to clarify. Bonus points if your partner is male...

agree with #3. why do so many people post FMLs about their parents thinking they're gay? who cares

the point is to say things that can be funny but crappy things that happen in their lives.

Oh so sad. You're madly in love with your husband and you own your own business. Sucks to be you.

And that's when you tell your mother what you meant by "partner." That would be funny. Not an FML, but funny.
