Today, I met my boyfriend's parents. Later on, his mom pulls me aside and tells me to back off, saying he will never marry someone like me and he should be with a nice girl like his ex. They broke up after he found her in his bed with his roomate. FML

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. We've been dating for almost 5 months and are extremely in love. His mom basically said to me, "I want what’s best for my son and you aren’t it." FML
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, I met my new boyfriend’s parents, hoping that they would like me. They made subtle, mean comments during dinner and made me feel like total crap, all because my boyfriend left his ex-wife for me. They don’t get that we’re both good and compatible for each other, and that’s what matters. FML
Today, my parents met my boyfriend, and to say it went badly is an understatement. My mom went outside to relax by chain smoking and the shouting, and the screaming only ended when my dad took my boyfriend by the scruff of the neck and threw him out the front door into the street. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because he wasn't feeling our two-month relationship was up to par with his parents' 30-year marriage, and, furthermore, I wasn't similar enough to his mother. FML
Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. 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 mother met my boyfriend. She thought it would be appropriate to tell him that he looks just like my ex-husband. FML
Today, my boyfriend said angrily that he should never have gotten together with me, that he should have known a woman with divorced parents would have daddy issues, and never be quite right in the head. His own parents are divorced by the way, and his mom is extremely overbearing. FML
Today, I was hanging with my boyfriend. When his mom came to pick him up, he introduced me. She talked to me politely and I thought we hit it off very well. As I was walking away, I heard her say, "That's your new girlfriend? Honey, you could do so much better." FML

Dump your boyfriend then and there, and tell him the reason. Having a piece of shit mother-in-law will ruin your life, especially if you are marrying a mama's boy. If he has the cojones to cut the apron strings and win you back, you might have a chance.

"Oh, you mean the ex-girlfriend who ****** his roommate in his own bed?" Just tell her where to get off. It's that simple.

OP: do not say anything nasty to the mother, or mention the reason her son and his ex broke up. That will just emphasize her opinion of you as the lesser girl, besides thats between the son and the ex, not between you and the mother. Chances are the ex was very nice and respectful to the mothers face and that is why the mother liked her so much. So be nice, maintain proper bounderies (do not get to comfortable in thier house and watch what you say and how you say it), be very polite and respectful and the Mother will probably come round. JUST WATCH WHAT YOU SAY AND DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BECOME OVERLY COMFORTABLE AND FAMILIAR AROUND THE MOTHER, she may be very uptight and find it rude.

That's crap advice, 19. Who wants a relationship where you walk on eggshells? Op doesn't need to please that woman. She needs to know her man will set Mom straight - THEN the dynamic will change.

That happened to me when I first met my husbands parents, then after we got engaged she tried to guilt me into leaving him (saying I could never make him happy) and then she tried to walk out of our wedding. Just ignore the biatch, and once he's yours move far away.

You should really take 6 & 44s advice. Let your man do the communicating with his parents. That's the only way & it's his job as a husband.

She sounds psychotic -- maybe you should get her tested.

haha she is such a fail. tell your boyfriend about it and talk about it with him. also, hang out at your place never at his! i'm sure he will understand and if he doesn't, just dump him.

At least now you know what you need to do to win the mom over. I'm sure the roommate will be happy.

Thats when you say "Excuse me? How rude of you to say that to me. You know what, I think it's 'you' who needs to back off. Oh and FYI that 'nice' ex girl friend you liked so much CHEATED on your son with his room mate. Don't believe me? Ask him yourself. Trust me your son will be happy as long as he doesn't rely on his mothers terrible judge of character." Then walk away.

I would have brought him into the conversation at that point, and had HIM tell her. I think she believes the ex-girlfriend is better because she doesn't Know. Maybe she would look at you differently if she knew about the ex.
