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.

Your granny is a cold and heartless ****. And the first insult that spewed out of her mouth, you should have put a stop to it. And if she kept it up, take your bf and leave. Why did you just stay there and let him hear that shit?

I was there and thought it was hilarious: "Josh, can you eat ham?" "Josh, is this your first Easter egg hunt?" "Josh are you...?" "Josh, can you...?"

I'm sorry but your grandmother is an asshole. Some people believe that age affords them respect based on that fact alone. I think that's horse shit, and she had no right to insult your boyfriend's religion and make him feel that way.

I have spent time at a jewish family's home during their holidays. There is one called Shabbat, its like a big celebration, tons of food, wine, singing. They seem like fun people to be around. They are always cooking good food and sharing it with everybody. I honestly dont see why people hate jews in general.

As a Jewish guy myself this offends me too. I once dated a non Jewish girl and her mum also made fun of me being Jewish. The difference is after about a month of taking it I eventually snapped and told the woman to **** herself and promptly ended my relationship with the girl. Now I do think he should have stood up for himself but the fact that the woman brought him to tears is unacceptable and bullying behavior. No one should have to go through that.

I would invite him over again and get him to start leaving funeral arrangements magazines and incontinence pads everywhere....... Or maybe dress up as the grim reaper and jump out of her wardrobe in the middle of the night.....

When someone make fun of my Jewishness I tend to make them very uncomfortable. VERY.
