Today, my boyfriend canceled his plans to attend my father's wake, not even 10 minutes after he found out there won't be any alcohol on offer. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend stood me up. At dinner with his parents. FML
Today, my boyfriend went to work instead of going to my father's funeral. He works at home and chooses his own hours. FML
Today, I found out that my father, who very recently lost his wife, decided that drunkenly hitting on my long-time boyfriend's mom was a good idea. FML
Today, I am completely mortified. At my father-in-law's funeral, my husband put a bottle of beer on the coffin and announced to the room his dad was such a tight-fisted sod, it was the first drink he’d ever had on him. FML
Today, I found out that I'm not welcome at my boyfriend's dad funeral, because his ex-wife has invited herself, and it would be too awkward to explain to his extended family, most of whom apparently don't yet know that he's divorced. FML
Today, I canceled our wedding that was scheduled for tomorrow because my fiancee's father passed away unexpectedly this morning. She got furious when I told her, because she still wanted to go through with it, and said that her dad would have wanted us to. Now she's not speaking to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me grief about my drinking. This would be fine, if he were sober. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because of my drunken antics. My reaction? Pour myself a stiff drink. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me via text, right after I finished cleaning his apartment and dropping off a bunch of booze I bought for a big party we were having. It turns out that big party was his "newly single" party. FML
Today, my boyfriend said he couldn't come to my grandfather's funeral because he was at his cottage and couldn't make it. Later that day, when driving home from the graveyard I saw him walking down the street, with another girl. FML

Not gonna say break it off, but this may make you want to think very hard about him.

sorry for your loss but I'm even more sorry you had to deal with such an asshole... that's beyond insensitive, I would have dumped him on the spot

sorry for your losses. OP, i imagine that it's hard losing both your father and boyfriend in such a short length of time.

wow, how supportive! I can't believe what kind of person would not be there for their significant other's support! I'm so sorry for your loss OP. this should give you a pretty clear view of what the future would be like with him, and what you can expect.

OK, since there are clearly some posters not familiar with this: There are three types of ceremonies/gatherings that take place after a death for Catholics and some other religions. They are the viewing, the funeral/burial and the wake. The viewing takes place at the funeral home before the actual funeral, where people can pay their respects to the deceased and the family (no food, no alcohol, there are chairs and the open/closed casket. The viewing may take place over multiple days. There may or may not be speeches.). The funeral is the religious ceremony at the church, followed by the burial (which is outside at the cemetery and sometimes is only attended by family). The wake is the reception after the funeral, typically at the home of a relative of the deceased. The reception usually includes food and drinks, but not always alcohol. Also, OPs boyfriend is a jerk and clearly hasn't figured out that people need comforting afterward. If you know what I mean.

I'd reevaluate your relationship.
