Today, I broke into tears at work after being told my aunt had a stroke. My boss told me to "suck it up, no one is that close to their aunt." My aunt adopted me when my mother passed away. FML

Thanks for all the supportive comments. When I explained to him the situation he apologised and sent me home. I reported him to my senior manager and he has since received a warning for inappropriate behavior. My aunt is doing really well now, they caught it early and they say she will make a 100% recovery. She's talking again as well, but she will have to stay in hospital for a while for monitoring. Reading all the comments made me feel a lot better as well, thank you!

Today, I overheard my husband screaming and sobbing into the phone. Apparently, his mistress has been cheating on him with both his brother and their uncle. Who’s the woman in question? My much younger niece, who lives next door. I don’t even know where to begin to approach this dumpster fire. FML

45, the FML does not state that a friend told OP, its was most likely a family member. secondly, where does it ever say that OP was mocking another friend about income? It doesn't. i have no idea how you pulled those crazy assumptions out of your ass.

It doesn't matter if its someone's great great aunt, you never say something like that in that situation. Your boss has horrible social skills. Also I'm very close to my aunt, I don't know what I would do if something like that happened to her.
