Or maybe, just assuming OP didn't pause time to post an FML, she did tell him mom she's not Emma, or confronted him about the situation. Going off of that, I would imagine this was her clever way of stating what /would be/ him cheating which would indeed be an FML.

Yah but the son would've corrected her. Or she would've realized her mistake...

she prolly just said the wrong name like #4 said or Emma could prolly be his bestfriend (highly doubt this). but come on so what happened after that? did u ask your bf who Emma was?

I would have assumed he had a brother whose girlfriend was named Emma, and she got confused as to which of her children was bringing someone over to meet them. But since this is an FML, I'm assuming that turned out not to be the case. Or something like that was the case, and you decided to make a big deal out of nothing. But no FML posters ever do that, right?

I wouldn't be suprised. I can't stand boyfriend's mothers (like mine) who think no one is good enough for "their little boy." So childish...

Same here. My boyfriend's mother hates me and have said and forbidden all kinds of possible stuff. But we are still together; somehow she didn't managed to drive me nuts... yet. I would really like to know how this FML turned out to end... If it was his mother trying to mess with your head or if he cheated on you fyl indeed :/ If she just messed up the names it's not really and FML
