Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mom stared at me throughout dinner before finally blurting out, "I'm sorry, I can't get past the fact that you look just like his ex!" It turns out I do. FML
Today, my mother met my boyfriend. She thought it would be appropriate to tell him that he looks just like my ex-husband. FML
Today, my mum and I were walking down a road where we met an old neighbour who recently got divorced. Her son who we hadn't seen for about 10 years was with her and he looked very handsome. I said, "oh wow ! your son has grown up so much !" The woman replied, "this is my boyfriend." FML
Today, on more than one occasion, I was mistaken for my boyfriend's mother, by his own family. 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, my fiancé and I visited his family for dinner. The entire time I was there, his mother and sister had an in depth conversation about how attractive his ex girlfriends were and how they got along with them so well. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that his daughter only liked me because she thought that we look like siblings. FML
Today, my date told me I have a smile that "reminds him of his grandma." Then he showed me a picture. I look exactly like her. FML
Today, it was only as my boyfriend met my dad for the first time that I realised how alike they are. Same opinions, same dress sense, same moustache and beard, same height and body shape, similar jobs and cars, and they support the same rugby team. They got on like a house on fire as soon as they met. FML
Today, on a first date, he told me I look like his ex's mom. FML

Dude I feel it! I brought my boyfriend over to a family party and they all said he was just like my father. The way he talks and laughs and hugs. I don't see it.. the only thing I notice is that him and my father like similar things, but that's it.

From what I've read that's supposedly not uncommon/a bad thing. I guess it's hardwired into us or something to look for people similar to our mother (or father if you're female). I wouldn't sweat it.

Many sons favour their mothers' features (as daughters their father's). There's a psychology study that claims many are attracted to people that look like ourselves. Now I'm curious if the OP and boyfriend also look like they can pass as siblings?

Just as long as he doesn't call you Mommy during sex, you'll be OK.
