Today, I was meeting my boyfriend's family for the first time. The minute I stepped in the door his mother hit me in the face and kicked me out because I was "the slut her husband cheated on her with." My older sister and I look much alike. Too much alike. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. Right when I arrived, his little sister said, "She's a lot fatter than you said!" FML
Today, my friend called to say my boyfriend was at a diner with another woman. I immediately went and caught them in a deep conversation. I slapped him and yelled "Who's this bitch!?" It turns out she's his half sister. FML
Today, I went to my step-sister's for family dinner. Her husband was really drunk and openly hit on me in front of most of my family. I nonchalantly ignored his advances. Later, my step-mom said it would not have happened if I didn't dress like a skank. 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 was going on a date with my girlfriend. When I took her home, her sister came to the door. I used to date her sister and I didn't know they were related. My girlfriend realized this, then kicked me in the crotch. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's adoptive family. There was his mom and several brothers, one of whom tried to hit on me. They tried to convince my boyfriend to break up with me, and his mom told me I'll probably get knocked up by the brother who hit on me. FML
Today, my sister told me her ex-boyfriend abused her and I went to go confront him. Turns out, she lied because he dumped her after she cheated on him. I got my ass kicked. FML
Today, at dinner with my boyfriend and my family, my mother had too much to drink and asked my boyfriend how I was in bed with the purpose of embarrassing me. His reply? "Not as good as her sister." His defense? "It was only one time." FML
Today, I saw my older sister for the first time in three years. We hadn't spoke since I found out that she was the woman my college boyfriend left me for. Unfortunately, our reunion was fueled by her two-year-old son's desire to meet his dad. My husband. FML
Today, some girl punched me in the face and left a huge purple bruise. Apparently, her boyfriend has been cheating on her with me, because she always sees him walking me home. Her boyfriend is my older brother, who didn't bother telling her who I was, because he "wanted to see what she would do." FML

Why wouldn't your boyfriend have cleared that up?

Were you aware of that situation prior to this? If your boyfriend means a lot to you, have a sit down with his mother once she's calmed down, and hopefully you can get things resolved. Good luck!

like father like son? Ho ho ho.

He more than likely didn't know that was gonna happen right away is my guess. How would he know about her sister unless op had known and told him? Small world none the less
buckeyed 20
I guess it's a matter of whether or not he knew, and when he learned about it. Hopefully he is able to talk to his mother about how OP isn't her own sister. Future family meetings will be awkward for awhile, no doubt.

How would you be able to predict that your mom was going to smack/punch/scissor kick your girlfriend the moment she walked in..?

45 - Depends how open the affair was. Nothing says either way in the FML...

Sounds like the plot for a drama show.

You mean a Jerry springer episode? Actually this is probably too tame for that.

Well, off to a good start!

Look on the bright side... at least you don't look like a Kardashian. Or do you? =)
Bakarra 22
If you looked like a kardashian there would be a 2/3 chance you'd be attractive so this is definitely not a bright side...
queerdragon 20
Yeah, they aren't the most interesting people in the world but they are famous, attractive, and have lot of money. Not sure why you would not want to be a Kardashian.

I wish I looked like one of those lovely ladies!
misspulkadot24 17
I wouldn't consider people like the Kardashians "lovely". Maybe "selfish" or "trashy" or "whoreish" or "useless" or "Armenian Brothel material". But not "lovely".

send her a photo with your sister with some chocolates and a cake ..maybe she'll get it say that you're the good twin not the evil one
rosenkrieger223 24
Or, ya know, just tell her about it and explain the situation..

Ouch! That must really suck. You should reconsider your relationship. I don't think the mom would ever get over the fact that you look like her husbands mistress :/

I don't know why this is thumb'd down. Sure its irrational to hold her accountable for her sisters actions but its what is likely to happen. The mom will never trust her and always bad mouth her because her husband is an ass. If the resemblance is close enough she will always see her as a reminder of her unfaithful husband. Unfair and unlikely to get better.

Can you imagine a grandchild in OP's image? Gifts from grandma would be dark makeup sets labeled 'To: Future *****'.

23 - And this is why we have minds of our own and don't sit under out parents thumb for out whole lives.

So I'm guessing family reunions will be scarce in the future.
vencku 13
This is what I thought. Not all partners have their families become one big happy group, but you seem to be off to the worst possible start. I think I'd reconsider this relationship. You probably weren't with him that long, so better you make an informed decision before you get more involved.
Bakarra 22
I see his mom knows how to handle things like an adult... I'm sure she goes along the street punching every girl that looks like your sister too so share the love!
Ambient25 25
Wow, sorry to hear OP. Hopefully your boyfriend shot to your defense. Still, you'd probably want to reconsider the relationship as there will probably be nothing but drama through it, especially if his mom continuously prods you about your sis.
