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

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 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

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

So what? He's with you, not her. Can't you find something worthwhile to complain about?

Fridge pictures have a way of melting into the background till you don't notice them anymore. I wouldn't assume it's a deliberate affront until other attitudes and actions proved it was.

my boyfriends mom has a picture of his ex on their fridge but he lives in Tacoma and his mom lives in Oregon. I try not to worry especially when he takes it off when we go visit..try giving her pictures of you and your boyfriend and see what she does. that's what I did and now there's pictures of me and him on the fridge and in frames around the house. OP just don't overthink it

Uhhh, did the OP ASSUME it was his ex? Cuz assuming shit usually ends up making you look like a complete idiot.

My ex bf's mom does the same thing. Me and my ex broke up a year ago but my pic was still there when I visited. His family just really loves me and still hoping well get back together. So talk to him abt it !
