Today, a third person in my husband's family made a comment insinuating that our children aren't my husband's. I have never cheated on him, they are 100% his, and look just like him. I'm not sure if they are joking and rude, or serious and stupid. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, someone asked my wife if I was her father. FML
Today, I asked my husband if he thought I was pretty. He replied "compared to what?" He was serious. FML
Today, I found out that my husband only dated me because I look like what he thought the daughter he had with his first wife might look like when she's grown up. FML
Today, a misunderstanding led to me falsely accusing my husband of cheating. We cleared it up and he forgave me and everything, but my parents are still convinced that he cheated, and won't believe me when I say he wasn't. FML
Today, I told a guy at work about my boyfriend. His immediate response was to ask me if I was making him up. He's the third person to react this way. FML
Today, after my wife’s father made a very weird joke the other day, and it completely bothered me and caused my anxiety to skyrocket, I asked her about it. She told me not to worry and that it’s just a joke. I’ve always suspected he views his daughter, my wife, sexually. I don't know what to do. FML
Today, my husband and I sat our 10-year-old daughter down for a chat over her recent cursing. When my husband asked where she'd heard the words, she "innocently" replied, "from mommy's other boyfriend." He took her seriously, accused me of cheating, and hasn't been home since. FML
Today, my dad was doing FaceTime with a friend. He turned his iPhone towards my sister and said, "There's my daughter…" He then turned it to me and said "…and there's my ugly son", then walked away. I'm still not sure if it's a joke or not. FML
Today, a customer asked me if I was my husband's sister. A little flabbergasted, I replied, "No, I'm his wife." He went on to say, "Ah! But surely, you're related? Cousins?" FML
Today, my husband filed for divorce because he discovered that we're actually fourth cousins. I tried to insist that means absolutely nothing, but he won't listen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Get paternity tests done ASAP. I think your husband started it with the family, but you need to head it off ASAP

I would think that all the comments started with your husband and and all questions should start there.

Never doubt a snooty monster-in-law to start rumors like this either. It doesn’t have to be the husband implying it.

You only see the hubbys features in your children. Hubby only sees your features. This is actually very common. If they keep commenting, tell them to buy DNA kits for hubby and each kid for Christmas.

They're probably insinuating that he's gay.

At least three members of your husband's family are assholes.

Tell your husband that it bothers you. He should be willing and able to shut this down. It's his family, he needs to be the one that speaks up. I'm not a Neanderthal or 'Traditional Family Values' kind of guy, but if someone in my family implied my wife had slept with someone else, my wife wouldn't even need to tell me it bothered her. I would be having a very direct, frank, honest conversation with whoever said it, with the expectation that it would never be mentioned again. If it did come up again, they'd get to see the Angry version of me, who doesn't get to come out and wreak havoc nearly as often as he'd like to.

Sounds to me like for some reason his family doesn't like you and is looking for ways to get him to leave you. Not cool.
