Today, my boyfriend is pissed at me for giving everyone food poisoning right before the holiday and ruining the weekend. He’s the one that forced and berated me into using the nasty expired ingredients in his mom’s kitchen, even though I knew better. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my boyfriend out to dinner to an expensive restaurant. He overate, and now I have to nurse him through food poisoning. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend's mom doesn't believe you can get food poisoning from food that is cooked. She gave us food that had sat out all day/night and then got angry when I said we could get sick. FML
Today, my girlfriend screamed at me for throwing away her food, calling me a sick, controlling psycho. When I pointed out that the seafood pasta I tossed was a week old and almost certainly rotten, she dug the box out of the trash and ate it to prove a point. Now she's got food poisoning and somehow it's my fault. FML
Today, my idiot boyfriend, who thinks he's an outdoorsman, made sauce from mushrooms he'd foraged. I refused to eat it. He got upset and had two helpings. He's now in bed, whining about how bad he feels. Stupid dumbass. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me home to have dinner with his parents. I couldn’t eat a single bite after watching his mom let her three dogs taste all the food off her hands, while she also licked her own fingers while cooking. Later on, he dumped me for being rude and “too high maintenance." FML
Today, after a week of staying in at night and fighting off a persistent cold, I was finally feeling well again, so I decided to go to my boyfriend's work BBQ. I got food poisoning. FML
Today, I decided to surprise my boyfriend at his house. Apparently, I ruined the surprise party he'd planned for me, and now he’s upset with me. 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 scolded me for asking whether he’d like his favorite soup for lunch when he was, "in absolutely no shape to survive ingesting food." Two hours later he's greedily digging into an almost expired pack of cheap and nasty supermarket waffles from out of his bag. FML
Today, I had to clean my boyfriend's puke off of our bed. Last night he ditched me to go out partying, came home, threw up, and passed out. He thinks it's only fair I clean up today because he's "not feeling well". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If your boyfriend is forcing and berating you to do things, poisoning him is the least you can do. I hope you've left him since this happened.

YDI for not insisting to not use those ingredients and just throwing them out. Oh, and dump your boyfriend, he's an idiot.

Usually, though not always - Food poisoning comes from things like uncooked meat, poultry, or eggs which often have salmonella, cross-contaminating foods on the same cutting board or counter space or knives into foods that don’t get cooked like salads and fruit due to unsafe handling. Of course there are serious cases where the origin was from expired and unsafe foods. Adequate cooking generally removes things like salmonella which is the most frequent food poisoning. But if foods that are already cooked or eaten raw get contaminated then food poisoning here we come. On the other hand food poisoning from such things as botulism from unsafe foods does not generally get removed by normal cooking… The short version is it might have been the cook or the helper responsible for food poisoning due to unsafe handling or it could have been spoiled contaminated food products. At this point no one will ever know… I have taken part in a couple of Thanksgiving or Christmas meals at my ex’s family home where we both got food poisoning - It’s a miserable experience! I am very careful in the kitchen to prevent cross contamination and I will not use spoiled or greatly expired ingredients because I don’t want to repeat that!

YDI, for doing something you knew is wrong. Don't ever let anyone force you into something that you know might hurt others
