Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mom stared at me throughout dinner before finally blurting out, "I'm sorry, I can't get past the fact that you look just like his ex!" It turns out I do. FML

Today, my mum and I were walking down a road where we met an old neighbour who recently got divorced. Her son who we hadn't seen for about 10 years was with her and he looked very handsome. I said, "oh wow ! your son has grown up so much !" The woman replied, "this is my boyfriend." FML

Today, it was only as my boyfriend met my dad for the first time that I realised how alike they are. Same opinions, same dress sense, same moustache and beard, same height and body shape, similar jobs and cars, and they support the same rugby team. They got on like a house on fire as soon as they met. FML

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

Dude I feel it! I brought my boyfriend over to a family party and they all said he was just like my father. The way he talks and laughs and hugs. I don't see it.. the only thing I notice is that him and my father like similar things, but that's it.

From what I've read that's supposedly not uncommon/a bad thing. I guess it's hardwired into us or something to look for people similar to our mother (or father if you're female). I wouldn't sweat it.

Many sons favour their mothers' features (as daughters their father's). There's a psychology study that claims many are attracted to people that look like ourselves. Now I'm curious if the OP and boyfriend also look like they can pass as siblings?

Just as long as he doesn't call you Mommy during sex, you'll be OK.

Today, my boyfriend told me to completely shave off all of my already-groomed pubic area because, "It looks so unnatural." Ignoring the obvious lack of logic, I asked him why he keeps his totally ungroomed. Turns out "Men having hair is okay. Women aren't supposed to, though." FML
