The blame game
Today, I got bad food poisoning. Again. The first time I thought it was the stomach bug that’s going around, so once I felt better, I proceeded to eat leftover food that actually got me sick the first time. FML

Today, I went out to eat to celebrate getting over the stomach flu. I hadn't eaten solid food in over a week, so I was really excited and ordered my favorite dish. It gave me food poisoning. FML

Doing my part
Today, I didn't feel like cooking when I got home from work, so I decided to go to the local restaurant nearby and do my part in supporting small businesses. Long story short, I woke up later feeling like absolute shit. Hello, food poisoning. FML

Am I confused because I don't get what one has to do with the other?

Nope. I'm confused, too. Is she suggesting she got food poisoning from her boyfriend's family? Did she cook for them, and they may also have food poisoning? Or did she cook, meet his family, then end up with food poisoning the day after? I need to know how bad this FML really is.

Lol I came to the comments just to see if anyone understood what this meant. I’m glad I’m not the only one confused

For all the people that are confused about this FML: I believe since the OP was doing the cooking, they got food poisoning from the meal they prepared the day before for the boyfriend's family. Food poisoning can take a day a 2 to show symptoms.

I was assuming she ate his family's food and got poisoning from it. How did this get through moderation?

depending on the contamination it can take anywhere from 2 hours to 3 weeks

How are people getting that OP got food poison from the boyfriend's family? The first statement literally says "I got food poisoning for the first time AFTER COOKING," therefore they were the one doing the cooking. The second statement about OP meeting the boyfriend's seems unrelated by wording, but the fact that it's even included in the first place means it is related, and the only relationship between OP getting food poisoning from her own cooking and meeting her boyfriend's family in the context of a FML, is if she did the cooking for them to make a good first impression, and likely gave them food poisoning as well. Unless I'm missing something here. Lord knows I've had my moments at sucking at reading between the lines...

Every time I read between the lines, people have a go at me for not seeing what they see, so this time, I went looking for clarification first.

I took it as she is spending the weekend with the family. The fml is 1. She can’t cook without making herself sick 2. She has the pleasure of nastiness coming out of both ends around them. Not the best first impression.

It's a complicated situation which I did not understand until the end. You poisoned your boyfriend's family with food? That's not a problem. Make a night for you both and give him a couple of these pills as these https://sildenafilviagra.com/sildenafil-reviews/ .
