Today, my boyfriend of 2 years decided to tell an unimaginably rude joke to my grandma while at my house. She hit him over the head with a vase, and he's threatening to press charges. I still don't know whose side to take. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boyfriend of three years and I went to visit my 85 year-old grandmother at the hospital. While I went to the restroom, she apparently told him about a guy I was seeing on the side. I have no idea who she's talking about and my boyfriend refuses to talk to me. FML
Today, my grandma was arrested for throwing her cane at a man who she thought was mocking her walk. That man was my boyfriend's father, who limps because of his cerebral palsy. He refuses to drop the assault charges. FML
Today, my 65-year-old grandmother called and asked me to tell my boyfriend that she was flattered, but she's happily married. I have no idea what she was talking about and my boyfriend refuses to talk to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me at my grandma's funeral. FML
Today, while waiting for my boyfriend to get out of the shower, I chatted with his grandma. As soon as we hear him exit the restroom, she smirks at me and lets a huge, smelly fart out. She blamed it on me. My boyfriend believed her. FML
Today, my boyfriend showed up at my grandmother's wake in torn jeans and a Family Guy t-shirt. When I took him aside asked him what the hell he was thinking, he lost his temper and stormed out. FML
Today, I went over to my boyfriend's house to surprise him and caught him with another girl. As my boyfriend got up to explain himself, I, in a state of shock, violently threw up on him (and partially her). His mum had let me in the house. At least I know whose side she's on. FML
Today, my husband cracked a "Rectum? Damn near killed him" joke at my grandfather's funeral. He had genuinely spoken without thinking, but his quick gasp and "Oh shit" sounded quite sarcastic. We were both kicked out. My family thinks I put him up to the whole thing. FML
Today, I was at a family gathering and during a lull in the conversation I started to tell a joke to lighten the mood. Halfway through, I realized the joke was incredibly inappropriate. The room fell silent, and my grandma hasn’t looked at me the same since. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to a family dinner. Things went great, until my grandma arrived. She thought it would be okay to continue our friendly prank war by congratulating me on my "wife's" pregnancy. My girlfriend actually believed it, and now thinks she's the "other woman". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The problem is not the problem. The problem is your grandmas reaction to the problem. That's the problem.

Well, your boyfriend seems like an asshole for wanting to press charges, however granny didn't need to hit him over the head with a vase. Perhaps everyone can sit down and settle things like adults? Hopefully this will teach your boyfriend to keep his rude jokes to himself!

Which side to take? Vase's side.

You should take your boyfriend's side because your grandma shouldn't have reacted that way

Press charges

I want to know what the joke was... Regardless of how rude it was, I can't imagine it being bad enough to justify hitting someone over the head with a vase...

Your boyfriend sounds like a total dick. Your grandma, on the other hand, sounds awesome. Lose the creep and get her some more vases.

What about the vase? Nobody cares about the vase?!?!

Which side to take? The self-preservation one. Reconsider this boyfriend. After two years, he behaves despicably to a family elder in your home. He whines when a granny is able to brain him. Then he wants to publicize said braining by a granny in the public record with formal charges. You'll be required to testify under oath (no marital privilege sheild). The vase is a small price to pay for ridding yourself of this douchebag. Better luck next time.

He told a bad taste joke, that is no excuse for violence, the boyfriend is right too press charges. I wonder what you would think if it was a grandfather who attacked a girlfriend with a vase? Would that be acceptable to you?

If she acts like a douche - yes.

177 - Nowhere here do I condone violence. "Unimaginably rude joke to my grandma while at my house" does not a good two-year boyfriend make. That OP is considering not taking his side makes this a BIG red flag.
