Today, my boyfriend went to work instead of going to my father's funeral. He works at home and chooses his own hours. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick me up from work. We work at the same place. FML
Today, my boyfriend took a day off from work because he felt "sick". I thought he might come see me since he hadn't come over in a while. Nope, he went to hang out with his ex instead. FML
Today, I woke up early, showered, dressed, and made the 40 minute drive to work, only to discover when I arrived that today was my day off. When I got home my live in boyfriend was gone. I called and he told me he was at the beach, right near my work. FML
Today, my boyfriend said he couldn't come to my grandfather's funeral because he was at his cottage and couldn't make it. Later that day, when driving home from the graveyard I saw him walking down the street, with another girl. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to visit me at work. With another girl. FML
Today, my boyfriend canceled his plans to attend my father's wake, not even 10 minutes after he found out there won't be any alcohol on offer. FML
Today, I got a call from my boyfriend's boss. She was wondering if he was okay, since he hasn't shown up to work for the past two weeks. Now I'm wondering where he's been going when he leaves the house each day. FML
Today, I attended my father’s funeral. I have the week off work, and one of my colleagues is using this time to make a play for my job. I’m not supposed to be checking emails, so I can’t call them out on it until I get back, by which time it may be too late. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me during a funeral. FML

That's horrible of him. I'm not saying you should dump him, but this is one case where you should consider it.

Time to say goodbye

Not enough info to say FYL or YDI. If you've been together for several months or more, he's a jackass. If you've only been dating for a few weeks, honestly I probably wouldn't feel right going if it were me. The work excuse was lame tho.

Well how long have they been together?

personally, I won't go to a funeral period. I think it's morbid to sit and stare at a dead body and mourn their death. where I'm from, we celebrate their life. The family and friends that knew the dad and/or were close to him are going to be the ones that want to join in the group cry-fest. The significant other can comfort afterwards.

There is much more information needed here. Did he have a lot of work that needed to be done the next day? Was it feasible for him to go to the funeral and then go home and do his work? The last funeral I went to it took over 6 hours from leaving the house to getting back in. And I still went to work in the morning for an hour to do the money, something which needs to be done every day. (I also choose my own hours). I ended up being their 20 minutes longer because a situation arose. If it took me 2 hours to fix it rather than 20 minutes I would have missed the funeral and the cemetery part, and only arrived for the wake. Sometimes you have no choice but to work when you have to.
