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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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!

Well, pressing charges is a bit over-the-top, but then again, so is hitting someone with a vase...

The grandma IS at fault. The question is , just how much is she at fault? just HOW rude was the joke? But even if it was the worst , most offensive joke ever , it isn't really acceptable to smash a vase over his head. I thought that only happened on tv

I really want to know what the joke was, though. It must've been funny lol

Boyfriends come and go but family...makes them go. Boyfriend shouldn't be crying over it and just learn his lesson. I pick grandmas side!

So if you were hit on the head with a vase, is grandma still right?

I'm on your boyfriend's side, personally, there are far better possible things she could have done. Not to mention they will probably never get along now.

The boyfriend instigated if by making the joke. He should've kept his mouth shut.

I'd love to know what joke warranted that reaction. My favourite one starts "There once was a man from Nantucket..."

My favourite is: 'what do a gynaecologist and a pizza delivery boy have in common'

They both can smell it but neither can eat it.

#25: My grandmother would probably enjoy that joke. But then again, one time my grandfather was calling the cat saying: "Here pussy pussy", and she walked up and said: "You called?" I thought my grandfather was going to die. I've never seen my mother laugh so hard in her life.

Well, if the vase did damage, she should have been able to send him straight to the hospital. I'm guessing you can ask him then.

I'd take your grandmother's side sense family is first. But your grandmother did handle it wrong tho your boyfriend shouldn't have told a rude joke like that.

Your boyfriend must've really offended your grandmother for her to react so violently. If the situation works out before it escalates too far, be sure to in future hide all sharp objects during gatherings and have your boyfriend avoid any joke telling.

Stay out of it... Be mutual

Boyfriends are replaceable.. Grandma's however are not!
