Today, I saw my girlfriend's mother tagged at a restaurant, the same one I had suggested we try earlier in the week. At the time, she quickly shut me down because "that place sounds terrible". I guess she forgot that she finally added me on Facebook. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I logged onto Facebook and found out that my own mother unfriended me because she didn't want her new boyfriend to know that she had a daughter. FML
Today, my girlfriend's mother called me to tell me she didn't appreciate our "public amorous behaviour" at the local food court. I didn't go out all day. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents over lunch. Unfortunately, I showed my dad her Facebook profile beforehand and he wouldn't stop making cracks about her duckfacing. It started with, "Don't let her eat the bread, it'll puff up in her stomach and kill her", and ended in tears. FML
Today, I went to a movie and a dinner with a girl. During dinner, she excused herself to go to the bathroom, so I checked my social media feeds while waiting for her to return. She'd posted on her Twitter "Worst. Ever." I thought it was going well. FML
Today, as a joke, I put a picture of a sonogram on my girlfriend's Facebook. Now her entire family hates me, and her mother has started the two-hour drive to come pull her out of college. Whoops. FML
Today, I was accidentally tagged in a photo of a group of people by a 'friend' on Facebook. She later corrected it, apparently everyone had already seen the tag and decided that the comment box below was a great opportunity to discuss how none of them would ever be caught dead hanging out with me. FML
Today, I found out that my husband proposed to his girlfriend, and that her mom had posted it on Facebook. FML
Today, my girlfriend decided to break up with me over Facebook. Unfortunately, she "accidentally" posted it on my wall instead of sending me a message, so the whole world could see it. My mom liked her post. FML
Today, I went to my favorite restaurant with my mother. The food took a little longer than usual to arrive and my mom threw a fit, complete with kicking and screaming, in the middle of the restaurant. My mom and I are both banned for life. FML
Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm confused by this FML

It could be that she is humoring her mother. Depending on how old she is, like if she is a teenager, her mother may have just decided that's where they are going to dinner. In which case she would have had to just suck it up. If she is older, well I can admit that I would go to a restaurant with my mother that I wouldn't go to with my spouse. The reason for that being, in the long run, I will likely have less time with my mother unless my spouse and I break up and would like to see her happy and therefore am willing to humor things even if they make me flinch as long as they aren't things I fully can't stand. When it comes to my spouse, I want us to go to places we both can enjoy together. I don't like seafood so we don't go to seafood places together. He doesn't like coffee so we don't go to coffee shops together. But we both like hispanic food so we go to hispanic restaurants together.

why are you trying to go out to eat with her mother?

Good question. It's not like she's the mother of somebody very important to the OP and therefore worth getting to know. Plus, he prolly just called his in-law outta the blue and was like "hey, let's go out to eat together." No way it was suggested by his girlfriend organically while they were all hanging out together. Wait.

I was being sarcastic. the wording makes the FML unclear

They might have been having dinner with their girlfriend and girlfriend's family, and the mom shot down the restaurant that OP suggested.

I think you need to look up the definition of sarcasm there, bud.
maritime1992 5
13, maybe you should. Not my fault it went over your head.

You wrote it, and the sarcasm doesn't come across at all. It's entirely your fault it went over everybody's head...

When you type, you have to make certain elaborations to make sure the sarcasm comes across. Typing a perfectly normal sentence and then claiming it to be sarcasm when everyone questions it doesn't work.

OP asked his girlfriend's mother out to eat. OP's girlfriend's mother said that [restaurant OP suggested] sounded terrible. OP then saw on Facebook that OP's girlfriend's mother was tagged at [restaurant OP suggested].

Look at the bright side: at least she agrees with you. Granted, only when it's not your idea, but still!

This is somewhat confusing. I'm guessing this is an FML because you wanted to take your girlfriends' mother out to eat and she said no because the restaurant you suggested was, according to her, shit. But she ended up going anyway without you. Well, she is grown and people can change their mind. Ask her where else she would like to go and take it from there.

I interpreted it as the mother actually likes the restaurant but only said it sounds terrible because OP suggested it, implying the mother dislikes OP which would be an FML to him.

Maybe he suggested it as a restaurant for a group that included her?

Just tell her to pick a place next time and just go with it. Its not like you have to live with her, right?
