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!

while your boyfriend should have had the sense to know when a joke is and isn't appropriate, your grandmother's reaction was at best psychotic.

I'd blame your boyfriend, depending on the joke. Did you think it was that rude before or after he got hit over the head with the vase? Besides, he shouldn't be putting you in the position of having to chose between him and your family. I'd be pissed at my girlfriend or family if they made me choose. But tell grandma to stop hitting people with vases for me, okay?

OP, tell your boyfriend that if he does press charges, your Grandma won't go to jail due the nature of the offence and her age, though she might get a fine - but he will be forever linked to police records showing he went crying to the cops when he was beat up by an old lady. At the end of the day, who's going to look worse?! Tell him to man up and grow a sense of propriety.

Don't take sides. Both people's behaviour was wrong. However, your grandmother's was worse. Your boyfriend didn't do anything against the law while your grandmother did. She should learn to take a joke.

Unless 'rude' was also 'offensive'. Against the law too...

Seriously? Press charges? What a little scuzzball. Tell him to grow a pair and NEVER speak to your grandma that way again.

His. If a woman can't take a joke, then don't defend them. P.S: that's one clusterfuck you're in.
