Today, my Jewish boyfriend came over for my extended family's Easter party. My grandmother made fun of him for being Jewish so badly, that he left, crying. She doesn't see what she did wrong. FML

Today, my boyfriend came over to my parents' house for dinner. My dad made Holocaust jokes the entire time. My boyfriend is Jewish. FML
Today, my religious parents were hosting a family dinner. Not only did we have to wait over an hour for my grandma to finally show up, but when she did, she had her 30 year old boytoy in tow. Apparently, "Granny has needs too you know, hahaha!" Goodbye peaceful family. FML
Today, I was having lunch with my fiancé's family. After he excused himself to use the bathroom, his grandmother glared at me, sneered, "I never liked you" and kept eating while the others smirked. When my fiancé returned, everyone pretended nothing had happened. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I "always wear that stupid little hat." I'm Jewish. 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, my girlfriend and I were being driven home from our date by her mother. She's Jewish and I'm Catholic. Her mother was talking about how my girlfriend was going on a trip to Jerusalem that summer. She finished with "And you can find a nice Jewish boy while you're there." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went to my parents' barbecue. He knew my family is extremely religious, so what did he do? Called for silence to make an announcement, namely: "God isn't real." Cue a riot that ended in us being kicked out and me all but disowned for "putting him up to it". FML
Today, I watched my mother tell a man that the holocaust was "a good thing" and "necessary for population control". That man was my girlfriend's father. Who is Jewish. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I spent all day preparing an amazing meal for my extended family, and then 3 hours before dinner his crazy mother forced him home because she felt "excluded". He's spent the past 3 days with her. There's no way for me to keep him and get rid of her. FML
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

I believe in respecting my elders, however is this situation I would have pulled my grandmother aside at the very first comment she made. I would have told her apologize and to change the subject and that if she continued WE would be leaving. Your boyfriend is a guest and should be treated with respect. I know family is important but there are lines you just dont cross. I can't believe you let the insults continue to the point he was crying. It's your family and you needed to have controlled the situation.

Your grandma's a bitch. That's so horrible. Hopefully you'll be able to patch things up with your bf.

Aww your poor boyfriend! Sadly, some people still have a wrong oppinion of jews, still today, though mostly it is the elders, that grew up with this picture in their mind. I hope your boyfriend is ok, and that your grandmother apollogizes to him!

I can't believe that we still live in a world where people simply despise others on the basis of skin colour, religion, sexuality or background. We must do more to equalize all people.

Frankly, I think he's kind of a wuss for not standing up for himself and his beliefs. It would have been better if he told your grandma, "**** you!" and left in anger, but I'm really disappointed that he left in tears. Man up!

I don't think I would want to go head-to-head with a Nazi, no matter how old.

#24, if you did your time in the Israeli army, you wouldn't shrink from the fight. "Never again" even applies to anti-Semitic grandmas.

#30 I can't offer much information on this subject, because like you said, I haven't done my time in the Israeli army. But personally, I wouldn't have stormed out after screaming foul language at her. Her LifeAlert might go "missing" though....

Jesus was a Jew. Why would she make fun of Jews? Grandmas!

poor guy. What a horrible person. I hope your boyfriend is okay and your grandma apologises at the very least. Not that it will make much difference I would have thought.

Sounds like Grandma needs a serious bitch slap. I'm sure that she not only upset you and your boyfriend, but she probably made the gathering uncomfortable for other guests as well. Why didn't you or someone else step up and tell Grandma to "shut the **** up!" And your boyfriend left crying? Not to direspect him, but it sounds like he needs to man up a little.
