Today, my mother yet again went on a long rant about how much of a loser I am as I have "never had boyfriend" and I'm 26. Truth is, I've been in the same relationship for over five years but it "doesn't count because he's black." FML

Today, my father informed me that I will have no chance of dating a good man if I keep up with these interracial relationships. And that he won't be supporting me through college if I continue this "rebellion." My boyfriend is half black and loves the same music, sports, and movies as my dad. FML
Today, my mother once again called me to remind me what a disappointment I am despite having two degrees, a house, a professional job and having never been unemployed at 25. FML
Today, I called my mom to see how she was doing. She quickly hijacked the conversation and said that she's signed me up for a dating site, because she feels bad that I can't find a decent man. I've been dating my boyfriend for seven months, and she's seen me with him multiple times. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been purposely wrecking every relationship I've had since junior high because ''no one is good enough for her little girl''. FML
Today, my mom told me my relationship is a joke, because teenagers don't understand the meaning of relationships and commitment. I couldn't help but remind her how she's divorced three separate men to date. She hit me over the head so hard that snot flew out of my nose. FML
Today, I had no idea my mom was low key racist until I told her I was dating a black woman, and she told me that was fine, just as long as I didn’t do something silly like fall in love with her or let her distract me from finding a proper wife. Wow mom, just wow. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently my mom hates him and doesn't want us to be together. My mom died six years ago. FML
Today, I had to explain to my white girlfriend that dating me doesn't give her the right to call my mother the N-word. FML
Today, I’ve been single for so long that my mom’s friends ask her if I’m a lesbian, all because I’m 35 and not married yet. Truth is, my last relationship fucked me up so bad that the thought of falling in love with someone again makes me physically ill. FML
Today, I was talking with my mother and expressed my slight disappointment at how many of my friends are getting into relationships, whereas I'm still single. My mother decided to encourage me by saying "Don't worry, sweetie. There are boys out there who don't go for looks. You'll be fine". FML

Once you went black, you never went back (to being single).

Your mom should be happy that you're with someone who is loyal to you and makes you happy regardless of his skin color. I hope you two stay together and have a long happy relationship.

Wow I don't even know what I can say to this OP. Your mother is a disgusting old relic from an age I wish we could leave behind, but the "stragglers" keep popping up. I hope you have other family and friend support, and I echo the sentiments and kudos that you turned out okay despite what I'm sure she tried to impress upon you. My husband is white and although I'm sure there are some opinions about this both of our families have always been supportive, and our friends more so. Good luck OP!

Get him to tell her she can't have an opinion, she's white

So white people can't have an opinion?

So you make a racist comment on a story that exposes the ugliness that is racism? Ironic.

Good for you. It must be hard to know your mother does not support your choice in love. You might have to make the hard choice and cut her out of your life, at some point. If you decide to have kids, you would not want her around them.

Your mom needs to stop the hate. Tell her to stop being insecure.

Good for you OP for having a lasting relationship with somone you love. I know how you feel, my mother is racist towards my husband because he's Native American. She even went so far as to ask if his Tipi collapsed yet. Don't listen to her or let her ruin your relationship. As long as you're happy that's all that matters.
