Today, I spent two hours making dinner for my boyfriend's family. When I brought it over to their house they said "thanks" and didn't bother to invite me to stay to eat it. FML

Today, I spent hours cooking an amazing dinner for my family, who had just gotten home from a trip, so we could spend some time together because I'd started to miss everyone. When they got home, they saw it all laid out and just took plates to their room, without even telling me they were home. FML
Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML
Today, my whole family made an hour-long drive to a restaurant that's just a few minutes away from my place. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, my boyfriend stood me up. At dinner with his parents. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I spent all day preparing an amazing meal for my extended family, and then 3 hours before dinner his crazy mother forced him home because she felt "excluded". He's spent the past 3 days with her. There's no way for me to keep him and get rid of her. FML
Today, I invited a friend over for dinner and spent hours preparing a fancy meal. When I opened the door, he walked in with his new girlfriend, his mom, his sister, and his dog. I barely had enough food for one, let alone five. I ended up serving my fancy meal on paper plates. FML
Today, I was invited to my boyfriend's house for dinner for the first time. His mom made a fantastic dinner, so I showed my appreciation by eating the lot. Apparently I was overdoing it because when I looked up everyone was staring. His dad muttered, "Slow the hell down." FML
Today, my boyfriend took me home to have dinner with his parents. I couldn’t eat a single bite after watching his mom let her three dogs taste all the food off her hands, while she also licked her own fingers while cooking. Later on, he dumped me for being rude and “too high maintenance." FML
Today, my boyfriend came home and demanded dinner. I started suggesting things, but he threw out that we should just fend for ourselves. I made pasta and offered him some, but he decided to throw a fit and go to bed at 6:30pm without dinner. He then woke up at 9 to complain he was hungry, then slept on the couch. FML
Today, I spent hours cooking dinner for my date. When they arrived, they told me that I'd probably not paid much attention to their dating profile, as it clearly mentioned that they were vegan, and thus couldn't eat any of the food I'd prepared. FML

At least now you know they're not worth expending any effort for.

You should have said "Now that you saw my food I guess I'll be leaving with it, I just wanted to show you how delicious it was!!"

WTF??? That's a sign if you needed one. Unless there's more to the story, but I couldn't think of any plausible alternate story, so I'm sticking with WTF??

umm maybe it wasn't clear that you expected to eat it with them too maybe they just thought you were doing something nice for them....

You should definitely dump your boyfriend. If he doesn't stand up for you and invite you to stay, then it's also his fault, not just his parents' fault. I agree with #16, I'd like to see this one get illustrated.

You don't need to eat with those jerks.

..... Who DOES that???? I'm just going to assume your boyfriend wasn't there, because if he was, he shouldn't be your boyfriend anymore. That's just disrespectful.

Tell the truth: someone is like dying of cancer in the household and you brought them a meal, but you weren't totally selfless and were hoping to get your ego stroked.

It's not just a "nice gesture" if someone made you food out of the blue. You lack etiquette if you don't invite them in to eat it. BUT If the family went through a tragedy or someone is sick and she brought it over so the family wouldn't have to worry about cooking then they don't have to invite her in. Maybe this person should have provided a reason for why she brought dinner over so we don't have to debate over if its FYL or YDI.
