Today, I went to my boyfriend's mom's house for the first time. They had a cook-out so I got to meet his whole entire family. I went into the kitchen to find a huge picture of his ex-girlfriend on his mom's fridge. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 boyfriend invited me over for dinner for the first time. The place was full of his ex's stuff, books on the shelves, makeup in the bathroom, clothes in the closet and even shoes on the floor. Not to mention creepy plush toys staring at me. She left him 8 years ago. FML
Today, my fiancé and I visited his family for dinner. The entire time I was there, his mother and sister had an in depth conversation about how attractive his ex girlfriends were and how they got along with them so well. 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 met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. I thought everything went well, until I got a text from him later saying, "Come on mom, she isn't THAT bad." FML
Today, my boyfriend came over. My mom told him the story about the time she caught me having sex with my ex-boyfriend. My ex is his best friend. FML
Today, I went to my parents' place to visit. My ex-boyfriend's photo is on the fridge, but there aren't any photos of my husband or any of our wedding photos. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mother hung a picture of him and his ex-girlfriend up. We've been together for 3 years now. Guess she really does hate me. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend's mom still refers to his ex as 'the daughter she never had.' FML
Today, my parents met my girlfriend's parents for the first time. They not only brought along embarrassing childhood photos of myself, they'd 'accidentally' placed an intimate photo of me and my ex-girlfriend with them. That was their subtle way of telling everyone they prefered my ex. FML

So your boyfriends mom liked his previous girlfriend, she hadn't met you yet. Just be cool and soon you'll be hanging there :)

Try not to let it bother you, and don't say anything about it. Hopefully they'll like you enough eventually to replace her picture with yours. If it's still there months from now though, you'll probably have to "accidentally" tear it off. haha

a BIG picture? holy ****, she's a creeper...but also she may get a big one of you if you dump him ;)...something similar actually happened to me, my ex's mom actually pictures of me and him in her room but he was cropped out.

That's a bit odd. She didn't have some kind of voodoo cursing kit set up nearby, did she?

Lol. Or it's the mum's niece. The bf was dating his cousin.

Op, just because there are pictures of someone the family still likes on the fridge does not mean they hate you. You are meeting the family, well she might just come with the family. Some people remain friends with people they sleep with, or it fizzles out into friendship. Either way, if you take offense to a picture, then you aren't going to last very long. Jealousy is not the way to go. He is with you, and even if he is friends with her unless you prove he is dating her again behind your back, don't worry until something happens. IF anything, its the mother who is out to get you, and while it might hurt your feelings, you are not dating the mother. Unless your boyfriend is a mommy's boy, then it shouldn't effect how he is with you.

the mom will never like you as much as the ex lol sucks maybe if you withhold the booty he'll convince mom to bring it down

it's not as bad as finding one on his mirror...in his bedroom... right next to his bed.

Actually, no, in this case she still doesn't have the right to say anything. Yes, it seems rude, but if the fridge is covered in pictures and no one thought about it, the case might just be the girlfriend noticed. Yea, it sucks, but its the mothers right to display what she wants.

I'm on the fence about this. He probably should take it down, but I think it's nice that he's being sentemental (sp?). As long as it wasn't a dirty pic of her, it's really no biggie.
