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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Damnrosi, I totally agree. OP: This is a situation that can spiral out of control really quickly. Please do not give her any ammo that she can use at a later date to discredit you by being disrespectful to her. Trust me anything you do and say, will be remembered and relayed to your son at any given opportunity that you are not within earshot. Like when she is on the phone to him. Or when he visits her without you. Or if you dont happen to live together, when she visits him. It is best to be polite and courteous to her (no matter what she says) and whatever you do, dont bitch to your boyfriend about her. Otherwise you could find yourself in a situation where the boyfriend is attacking you for supposedly disrespecting her - and when you tell him about her behaviour, he not only wont believe you but he will get defensive, he may feel that you are making him take sides. This will be the beginning of the end for the relationship because most guys faced with a choice between their family or their girlfriend will pick the family. DONT respond to her baiting because this will reinforce in her mind that her assessment of you is correct. If you must, take the mother aside and have a private conversation with her. Ask her gently why she feels the way she does. You may find she has nothing against you, she just misses the ex-girlfriend's friendship.

If your boyfriend doesn't stand up for you, walk away.

Show her how awesome you are, show her how strong you are, show her that YOU are the girl in your boyfriends life, not her.

I always liked the girls my mom hated the best... so far it has worked out OK.

Tell your boyfriend about it and then ignore his psycho mother. After all, you're dating him not her.

She seems like a retard. Don't listen to retards. Doing that will get a country into 2 wars with no foreseeable end, for example.

Sounds like his mom is a trouble maker.

Similar thing happened to me. My boyfriend's parents hate me but they loved his ex. She cheated on him.
