Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents. My dad turns around and says he was expecting him to have a guide dog. This is why I don't have much confidence in myself. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. My dad took one look at him, sighed and said, "You deserve someone better. Someone who is responsible, and has their priorities straight in life." Beyond upset, I told my dad that I love him. My dad disgruntledly responded, "I was talking to him." FML
Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my dad. He met him after my boyfriend ran his truck into a tree, and my dad had to pick us up. FML
Today, I was introducing my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. I meant to say, "Mom, Dad, this is Tom." Instead, I said, "Mom, Dad, this is Mom." My boyfriend is now jokingly reconsidering our relationship, and my parents won't stop making fun of me. FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend of a year and a half to meet my parents. Turns out he dated my mom. This should be a fun dinner. FML
Today, I found the courage to tell my parents about my boyfriend. They simply reacted by lecturing me about how much he'll ruin my life, and how much they don't like him. They haven't met him yet. FML
Today, my dad was teasing me, saying a guy would have to be blind to go on a date with me. I then introduced him to my new, visually impaired boyfriend. He hasn't stopped laughing. FML
Today, after dating for almost a year, I decided to introduce my parents to the man I was sure I'd fallen in love with. When dad saw him, his and my boyfriend's face completely dropped. I asked them what was wrong because I could feel the discomfort. Turns out, I'm dating my dad's drug dealer. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. I thought everything went well, until I got a text from him later saying, "Come on mom, she isn't THAT bad." FML
Today, my boyfriend introduced me as a friend to one of his friends. FML
Today, my boyfriend met my dad for the first time. The first thing he said to him was, "You're an idiot for dating my daughter." FML

If you really wanted to shock your dad, you should have replied "Nah he doesn't need one. He prefers to wear the collar himself."

I really hope you're just trolling and that isn't actually your impression of the FML? The joke OP's dad made wasn't implying in any way, shape or form that the boyfriend was disabled or that that'd be a bad thing.

Do you understand this fml? It's not about dating somebody with a disability, it's about the dad saying that only somebody who couldn't see OP wanting to date her.

That is not the way a father should make his little girl feel! You should feel like one of the most beautiful girls in the world...or at least in his world. :-/

Is Barano for real?? I think you are just as unintelligent as the dad. :)

Your comment would be good, but why didn't you just reply to Barano instead of making an entirely new comment? I had to go back and look for what you were talking about, which took an unnecessary amount of effort, humph... *lays back from the exhaustion caused by all the effort*

Yeah, at least he has nothing against your boyfriend and you can still see him. My parents HATE mine, and there are a lot of those ^ around here.

That is what my dad would do!?

If this keeps up, I'd recommend not allowing him a speech at your wedding. And if this is really getting to you, you have every right to talk to your father about it. The joke is only funny when you're laughing as well. Otherwise, it is extremely insensitive and mean. I wouldn't be surprised if your boyfriend wasn't a little bit disgusted with such a comment. I know I would be.

I understand. Both my parents say that in order for a guy to date me he'd have to be not only blind but also deaf and dumb. Then they wonder why I'm so paranoid and self defensive. Fyl OP!

Well they made you didn't they? If they ever put you down like that again just be all sarcastic like "yeah, I am YOUR kid after all. I had no chance of turning out decent with parents like you..". That'll teach them to shut up.

Just tell your dad "What a coincidence- that's what everyone says about mom!"

Have you have you TOLD him you don't appreciate his comments? If not then how is he supposed to know? As far as he's concerned they're jokes that have heir intended effect. Have an open an frank discussion about how they're not appreciated. Also no one else can reduce your confidence, that's just an excuse. Sorry to say.

28- Even if OP has told her father that she didn't appreciate his comments who said he would stop? Some parents do it for ***** and giggles even if it hurts the person they're talking about. To your last remark, it's not an excuse. Other people can reduce your confidence. If you're always being talked down upon then you start believing it and it gets to you. :/
