Today, after years of bad blood, my husband decided to invite his parents to dinner. After making rude remarks about my pregnancy, his dad eventually muttered that I'm a slut. My husband punched him, his wife called the police, and now I'm all alone while he sits in a jail cell for battery. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I received a call from my husband of 10 years from prison. He sobbed on the phone as he explained to me that his anger got the best of him, and couldn’t control himself. He beat the pulp out of a classmate of his for declining a date with him, and sent her to the hospital. FML
Today, I got married to the man I love even though my whole family told me not to marry him. He got into a drunken fight at our wedding and is now in jail. He apparently won't be getting out any time soon due to charges I didn't know about. FML
Today, my husband ran at me, groaning like a zombie. I was so startled that I screamed, punched him, and started sobbing. Now he won't talk to me because this is 'the first step on the road of domestic violence'. FML
Today, I heard screaming coming from my neighbor's house. Since her husband has a history of abusing her, I called the cops. After they left with him in custody, she called to yell at me because they were "working things out" after "having a few drinks". FML
Today, my scumbag son slapped his girlfriend in front of her family, and her dad picked him up and threw him off a second floor balcony. Good for her dad, he deserved it, but now he's laid up at my place and I have to wipe his ass and listen to him whine. FML
Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. FML
Today, I was eating at a restaurant when a man came up to me and said, "You're pathetic for having lunch with someone that much older than you." My dad immediately got up and punched the man in the face. My fiancé's parents had to walk in the door right as it happened. FML
Today, at a friendly get-together, my friend's husband had too much to drink and got into a fistfight with my husband. I'm seven-and-a-half months pregnant, and the friendly get-together was my baby shower. FML
Today, what started as a family gathering turned into an all-out brawl. I saw my son’s wife punch him, so I hit her. Her mom and sister jumped me. My husband was pulling them off when the other husband thought he was attacking them and jumped in, so my son jumped in as well. We won, at least. FML
Today, my father in law drunkenly announced at dinner that he wished my husband had married my best friend. No one stuck up for me. Not even my husband. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

His dad seems like a bit of an ass. Kudos to your husband for sticking up for you, though! He doesn't deserve to be in prison.

Maybe they're trying to protect the husband and have some bad information about the wife. No one took the time to see If it was a misunderstanding. No one knows how to talk it out these days. (downvotes ahoy!)

And there was the option of confronting the son or daughter-in-law about these so call "rumors". Although I believe that wether the rumors were true (supposing theres rumors involved), it's none of the parents business. She's the person the son chose and they should stay back. Yes, parents care but they have to see that she makes him happy. If what ever they heard was true and the son knows that's up to him to stay with her.

Or maybe the parents are just flat out rude. Either way, she's pregnant with their grandchild. It's an insult to her as well as her unborn baby. There's just some things you don't say.

Aww, he loves you. I'd be so happy if someone did that for me. But it sucks that he's in jail.

Was this in your house? Idk the law where u are but doesn't that present some sort of a defence if u said something like he wasn't welcome anymore and was harassing? Some places have laws that might help a bit with that

What did I just read...?

But this guy said not welcome anymore. Meaning that yes they were invited but then uninvited from how horrible they were acting. So he is kinda right about the laws. Cause after that "****" comment, they were hells for sure uninvited.

It was worth it. One night in jail, for the satifaction of punching the smug, smirk off the face of a man who most likely treated himlike dirt his whole life, yeah, worth it.

You have a great husband who loves you no matter what his dad said. Yes, it's a FML for the fact that he's in prison for no reason whatsoever, but it's not a FML when the fact is that he stood up for who he loved. I'm not really sure what I'm saying here because I've been single for a month and I really don't care about love at this moment of time (I think I'm "too young to fall in love"), yet I do know what I'm saying here: you have yourself a true keeper! He'll make an excellent dad! :)
