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!

No matter how rude the joke was, it was unacceptable for the grandma to react by physically assaulting him. He's absolutely right to be pressing charges.

A vase? Really? I know elderly outrage gets out of control, but honestly...

They were both in the wrong. Your boyfriend needs to learn that when it comes to making inappropriate jokes, whether it was sexual, religious, racial, or in any other means that could be offensive to some people, there's a time and a place for it. However, there's no excuse for your grandmother to have to resort to physical violence. That will only backfire against her and he has every right to press charges considering that smashing something hard like a vase over his head could have potentially given him a concussion. She needs to learn that there is more power in words than there is in an action.

Regardless of how crazy the action she took was; you always take your grandmothers side. Your boyfriend should have never been rude in the first place. And besides; if you are having a hard time deciding whose side to take in the first place, you deserve it.

Your grandmas. You're nothing without family. And your boyfriend is only your boyfriend,not your husband.

Take grandmas. Dodge the bullet now. If your boyfriend is going to be that rude to your family he isn't worth losing your family over

you're grandma, she wouldn't of hit him over the head if he wasn't acting disrespectful in the first place.

A joke can be brushed off, a vase over the head is assault
