Today, I was bitched out by my shrew of a mother for getting engaged, to a man. She's not homophobic, but rather pissed off because gay marriage is "trendy" and she wants me to be "above that nonsense". Hurray for love. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my mom that I’m a lesbian. She was fine with it, supported me 100%, and it was a huge relief, until she followed up with, “Until you find a husband, then you’ll obviously have to stop all that.” The reason I even told her is because my girlfriend just proposed to me, and we’re engaged. FML
Today, at 18, I finally told my mom I was gay. She spent the rest of the day bringing up my "future wife" at every possible chance she had. FML
Today, after having a long talk with my mother about LGBT rights, she told me that she was totally open. I felt completely relieved, being gay myself. Seconds later, she said, "But not for you. I want you to find me a nice girl that can give me lots of grandkids." FML
Today, my mother refuses to acknowledge that I’m married because instead of a church, we got married outdoors in a lovely pagan ceremony (with a real marriage licence from the city council, obviously) and she keeps trying to introduce me to nice, single men from church. FML
Today, I was busy going over wedding plans with my fiancé, when my mother called. Apparently, she wants me to "drop the joke" about this "fake engagement", because she was under the impression I was only dating a white guy to piss her and dad off, and was now getting carried away with it. FML
Today, my mom has been aggressively trying to get me to marry one of her coworkers, who is around my age. Apparently she loves her like the daughter she always wanted, and since it would be silly to adopt her; she is determined she will be her daughter-in-law instead, whether I like it or not. FML
Today, my homophobic mother is arranging to set me up with a wealthy 46 year-old man who has agreed to marry me. I’m 19, a lesbian, and I’ve been in a committed relationship for the past couple of years. My mother will stop at nothing. This is the fourth guy she's tried to set me up with. FML
Today, my mother is mad at me because I dared, yes DARED, to go out with a girl who stands up to her instead of just meekly doing what she tells her. Which should tell you exactly what sort of woman my mother is, so you know this FML is just the tip of my lifelong misery iceberg. FML
Today, I got engaged to the most wonderful man in the world. I excitedly called my mom to tell her the great news, thinking she'd be excited too. Her only response? "Oh." FML
Today, my father lectured me on the “sanctity of marriage” while his third wife bawled in the corner. I'm just gay, not a raging cunt. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tell her she should celebrate Easter now rather than Xmas because that's to trendy

Well, informing her that she's actually homophobic will certainly ruffle her feathers.

Congratulations, OP! Your mother is a moron! Oh, and I guess congrats on your engagement, too...

You can't please everyone. You make one person happy and two more hate you. Just try to talk to her about it OP and explain how it's not a trend. Congrats on the engagement!

The dude is gay and wants to be stabbed in the ass by another man, and his mother doesn't like it.

OP is a man who got engaged to a man out of love but OP's mother think he's just doing this because gay marriage is apparently a "trend" now.

Just tell her it'll be even trendier when she's not invited to the wedding. Congrats, by the way!

Congrats OP! And just don't give a damn about her opinion! FHL!

I'm sorry dude but I can't blame her, she wants biological grandchildren. It hurts people to see their children turn out the way they did not want. Don't offer her insult because she doesn't agree with you, you could always just get out of her life if it bothers you that she won't support your lifestyle.

Is there any way you could possibly be more of a douche bag
HiHelloYou 3
I finally created an account after many years of silently lurking because this simply makes me so mad. 'It hurts people to see their children turn out the way they did not want'. How do you know what people want? I think I speak for the majority when I say that you want your children to be HAPPY and HEALTHY, no matter WHO they are with.

are you reading a different FML than everyone else? Where did it say that she is saying this because she wanted grandchildren?? And why are you acting like the mother is the victim in this?? She's a homophobe, plain and simple. A good mother would be happy for her son, not make him feel bad for marrying someone he loves. sheesh

Neither she nor any God she or others may worship gets any say in how the op lives his life.

Here's hoping she decides to calm the hell down before the wedding actually happens. Congrats on the engagement, OP.

If being gay is wrong, I don't wanna be right

Ill teach you a little something about the real world. As a child there may have been only black and white in terms of good and bad, but as an adult you will learn most things are in shades of grey.

The only thing that's wrong is your ignorant opinion.
