Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents. My dad looked at him and said, "Nice outfit, but it's a little late for Halloween." Before I could intervene, my boyfriend said that joke had been done to death, to which my dad retorted, "Yeah, so has your mum." Instant fistfight. FML

Today, I introduced my dad to my boyfriend. I gave my dad the middle finger and he thumped me on the head, as we've been playfully doing for years. My boyfriend got all mad and tried to fight my dad. FML
Today, I was introducing my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. I meant to say, "Mom, Dad, this is Tom." Instead, I said, "Mom, Dad, this is Mom." My boyfriend is now jokingly reconsidering our relationship, and my parents won't stop making fun of me. FML
Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. My dad took one look at him, sighed and said, "You deserve someone better. Someone who is responsible, and has their priorities straight in life." Beyond upset, I told my dad that I love him. My dad disgruntledly responded, "I was talking to him." FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend of a year and a half to meet my parents. Turns out he dated my mom. This should be a fun dinner. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to meet my parents. My dad thought it'd be hilarious to act surprised and ask me if I'd already dumped the girlfriend I introduced him to yesterday. She slapped me and stormed out of the house before my dad could tell her it was a joke. FML
Today, my boyfriend met my parents. Within minutes, my dad managed to verbally sever his balls and reduce him to tears, "just for fun" apparently. FML
Today, I introduced my new boyfriend to my parents. Everyone knows he's into the emo scene, but this didn't stop my dad from slowly looking him up and down, then saying, completely deadpan, "You never told us you were a lesbian, honey." FML
Today, my boyfriend met my dad for the first time. The first thing he said to him was, "You're an idiot for dating my daughter." FML
Today, I decided to dress up a little to go out to the bar. I put on a nice shirt, some leggings, and heels. When I walked out the door, my dad said that I looked like a whore. When I got to my boyfriend's house I told him what my dad had said and he replied, "I'd have to agree with him." FML
Today, my parents met my boyfriend, and to say it went badly is an understatement. My mom went outside to relax by chain smoking and the shouting, and the screaming only ended when my dad took my boyfriend by the scruff of the neck and threw him out the front door into the street. FML

Funny as hell

If I was the boyfriend, I'd have said "touché" and went on with it. Mom jokes aren't even worth fighting over anymore.

Your dad sounds awesome. I would've laughed my arse off.

Isn't that how any Irish conversation ends? With fistfights? ( btw I love the Irish, they got more balls than Italians... just kidding)

Nah, it usually ends up in the pub, drinking a pint together and drunkenly singing "Whiskey in a Jar" and "Molly Malone".

Before this escalates into an argument about stereotypes, I might as well say this. Angry posters, before ranting, look up "Just the Majority" by DJ Lubel

I am Irish and I do enjoy a good fighting Irish joke. Op, on the bright side, if this relationship lasts you will have a great story to tell friends, and maybe the kids one day.

I was going to say -- would it be incredibly stereotypical if I said I'm not surprised that this story happened in Ireland? But who am I to say anything, I've got the fiery blood in my veins, too!

No, this FML is a trailer for a upcoming movie that just so happens to have its feature presentation be about a girl's dad and boyfriend fighting.

Give your dad credit for a good comeback. I don't think your parents will ever approve, so if you fall in love, you might have to elope.

I'm torn on this one. The great comeback by Dad or the ballsiness of the boyfriend to fight for Mothers honor

So basically, you dad and your boyfriend share the same maturity level? It sucks that they didn't get along well at first, but maybe it will turn into a bond in the future. I've known a lot of guys who fight (verbally or physically) and then become friends.

How does that put them on the same maturity level...
unknown_user5566 27
Seems like the dad sunk down a few levels, and the boyfriend fought back, which tells me he's not very mature either. I just figure the best thing to do in that situation is to walk away, you know?

Sounds like the BF handled the first insult well enough. Who knows maybe his mom was actually dead. In that case I'd start swinging too and I'm not even Irish. But ya the dad seems way less mature overall considering their ages.

To 49- I would say the bf is a lot more mature than OPs dad, some people really don't take well to their mother being insulted by a pretty much complete stranger. The bf took the first joke well and gave a pretty average reply to it to which the dad decided to take it to the next level and call his mum a **** who has been ****** to death pretty much, which is when you think about it pretty damn immature and low.

My brother has gotten in fights with people and the next day I've seen them "bro-hugging" in the hall.

Well that escalated quickly.
