Today, I went to my boyfriend's mom's house for the first time. They had a cook-out so I got to meet his whole entire family. I went into the kitchen to find a huge picture of his ex-girlfriend on his mom's fridge. 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 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 boyfriend invited me over for dinner for the first time. The place was full of his ex's stuff, books on the shelves, makeup in the bathroom, clothes in the closet and even shoes on the floor. Not to mention creepy plush toys staring at me. She left him 8 years ago. 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, 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, 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 boyfriend came over. My mom told him the story about the time she caught me having sex with my ex-boyfriend. My ex is his best friend. FML
Today, I went to my parents' place to visit. My ex-boyfriend's photo is on the fridge, but there aren't any photos of my husband or any of our wedding photos. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mother hung a picture of him and his ex-girlfriend up. We've been together for 3 years now. Guess she really does hate me. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend's mom still refers to his ex as 'the daughter she never had.' FML
Today, my parents met my girlfriend's parents for the first time. They not only brought along embarrassing childhood photos of myself, they'd 'accidentally' placed an intimate photo of me and my ex-girlfriend with them. That was their subtle way of telling everyone they prefered my ex. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So your boyfriends mom liked his previous girlfriend, she hadn't met you yet. Just be cool and soon you'll be hanging there :)

Try not to let it bother you, and don't say anything about it. Hopefully they'll like you enough eventually to replace her picture with yours. If it's still there months from now though, you'll probably have to "accidentally" tear it off. haha

6 is right. but I wonder why she's still there...I would have definately taken down any pics of my ex...not to hide from my bf, but because I wouldn't wanna see my ex everytime I open the fridge

Wow OP, that sucks. Maybe have a quiet discussion about it and hope he takes it down, if not then kick him to the curb.

she should mention it, it obviosly bothers her if she is posting it on fml, but op ask your boyfriend why it still might be up, don't ask his mother and start a bad relationship with her. Good luck!

how long have they been broken up?

his mom is going to poison you. next time your bf breaks up with you by text it might be his mom borrowing his phone.

I think the situation was that his mom likes his ex alot and he doesn't live with his mom

You should have sex with his ex and ask him how he feels (:

i find it funny and strange that the same people who weren't bothered by the abusive "teabagging" fml are feeling so bad the op's not so shocking problem? how is the fact that some1's bf keeps a picture of his ex on the fridge worse or more pityworthy than a poor girl who's bf sat naked on her face and slaped her with his penis?? someone please enlighten me??
xXLenaXx 0
58, the teabagging FML wasn't "abusive" in that, nowadays, a large majority of couples jokingly do this to each other. I would find it hilarious if my bf did (and he has done) this to me, though I'd still think "sigh... FML" because I was being... erm, 'conquered', for a lack of a better word. :P It's almost like creating an inside-joke. A similar principle. It's something within the relationship, involving the two people who care about each other :) Conversely, in this one, the bf is humiliating her 'stance' in the relationship by keeping a photo of someone else, someone outside their relationship. And outside the OP's knowledge. Something that could potentially ruin the relationship. If this makes sense. But also, it's probably the mum keeping the photo, not the bf; from the FML, it seems like the bf doesn't live there anymore and has no control over how the mum decorates the fridge. /long explanation

Me too!! She still thinks I should marry the guy. We broke up 5 years ago and I'm engaged now, she still isn't over him. Buys him presents every Christmas.

I agree completely. Better to be classy about it than to look like a whiner.

That is especially funny when you read your name as part of the comment.

my bf and I were together for 7 yrs and I am still welcome at his parents home. I always make sure he's not there so he's not uncomfortable. you can't take away 7 years of being treated like family.

that's really weird...
krysxkatastrophe 14
#33, it's not weird at all. She's not with her ex anymore, but that doesn't mean she can't be friends with his family. You'll understand when you grow up.
manbizzle 1
since my comment didn't post I'll try again.... @33 I agree that is weird. I wouldn't date anyone who is still hanging out with their ex's family.

It's called maturity. You'll understand one day.
