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

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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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!

How did he not see her coming with the vase?

Was it an antique? And did he bleed?

First of all, you may want to consider breaking up with this clown. If he can't see how inappropriate this behavior is after two years, he isn't going to figure it out down the road. Save yourself time and energy, but not wasting it on him. Second, your grandmother, however offended, does NOT have the right to whack people over the head with a vase. If she did (and if everyone else did) Mitt Romney, Barrack Obama, and countless other politicans would also be in the same condition your boyfriend is... whacked by a vase. Op, perhaps you should hang around more mature people...

Why are you making excuses for the grandmother? You don't even know what the joke was, for all we know it could be quite mild, and the grandmother just over reacted

You should let your boyfriend explain to the police how he got rocked by a granny for saying something inappropriate to her.

Unless your grandmother is black or jewish I can't imagine a joke that deserves getting hit over. Also, tell the joke!

Look man, you're never ever going to look like the hero backing a young dude rather than the old lady.

It's sickening as to how many people are condoning the violence. It was a joke. No matter how rude, a VASE was too much. She could've killed him if it was hard enough and depending on what it was made out of. Would he still deserve it then?

I agree, but I got thumbed down, too.
