Today, my boyfriend of 2 months got upset and frustrated with me because he had yet to meet my mom. I'd told him on our first date that she passed away 4 years ago. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend of two years broke up with me. Why? He said his mom didn't want us together anymore. His mom died three years ago. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently my mom hates him and doesn't want us to be together. My mom died six years ago. FML
Today, a guy who I've been on five dates with called me for the first time in 2 weeks. The first thing I said was, "Don't expect me to go out with you again after going AWOL on me." Then he told me his mom died. 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, my boyfriend told me he couldn't spend the day with me as he had his grandmother's funeral. Lonely, I went shopping and I bumped into his mum having lunch with his 'dead' grandma. FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend of 2 weeks home to meet my mom and she started talking about how she really wants a lot of grand-kids. He called 2 hours later and broke up with me. FML
Today, my boyfriend had always told me that his mom was dead. Apparently he just meant she’s dead to him. She’s actually a con artist. I just met her for the first time, after learning she impersonated me, stole my savings, ran up credit card debt, and bought 3 cars. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me. I tried to hide my sadness from my mom. She still noticed, and tried to cheer me up. She took me to a funeral. FML
Today, my boyfriend is always telling me I haven’t met his real mother yet, even though I’ve known her a year. However, when I happened to disagree with her today, she started screaming and hitting like a psycho. He had to wrestle her out the door. I get it now; I’ve now met his “real” mother. FML
Today, I went on a fabulous date with a really cute, smart, funny guy. He only mentioned his dad, so when I asked about his mom, I asked if they were divorced. She'd died of breast cancer so I felt awful. Then I asked if his dad had ever remarried. His stepmom had died of cancer too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is a grave error on your BF's part. I suggest burying him and the relationship 6 feet under before it begins to decompose worse. A funeral for this dead end corpse of a relationship seems like the kindest thing. Put him to sleep, send him to a farm in the country where he can run free, turn off his relational life support and piss on the relational grave!! You deserve better OP!

Just bring your boyfriend (if he is still your boyfriend) to your mom's resting place/grave. Hopefully, that will shut him up--and in a sick way, he will get to meet Mom.

I'm not sure you can really blame him. Every guy I know forgets basically every bit of information that's given to them that they won't be tested on for a grade, no matter how personally important it is, though I don't know how long ago your first date is. I say just explain it to him until he remembers and, as suggested, take him to visit the grave. That ought to give a lasting impression.

That's such bullshit. Guys are more than capable of remembering things that they won't get tested on. If a guy can remember the name of his favourite **** site, sports team, beer, and how to play his favourite video game then he sure as hell can remember an important detail like the fact that his girlfriend's mother passed away. He can absolutely be blamed and if a guy ever tried that "sorry baby, but you can't possibly expect me to remember things you tell me, no matter how important they are, because I only remember things if I'm being graded on them" then you can be sure I would send him packing. Then again, you are speaking about guys you know. In which case you need to get some guy friends who have a slightly larger memory capacity than a goldfish.

Perhaps you should try dating a better caliber of guys. They are out there and they are plentiful.

It definitely doesn't reflect too well on him that he forgot a recent death in your close family, but he did it out wanting to meet them, and a boyfriend anxious to meet your family is a pretty good thing, to be honest.

If he wants to meet her so bad, just dig her up!

He is anxious to meet your parents after only 2 months? Hmm... Whereas that is flattering, it's also a red flag warning that he might be insecure and looking for bonds that have yet to (really) be established. Besides the fact that you've explain your mother is deceased. Many people forget the details of a first date. (We are more concerned with making a good impression and listen but often don't absorb.) Slow things down a bit. He'll loosen up and gain confidence. And he'll most likely recall the details of your life. Good luck. Hopefully you're into someone awesome!

This world be sad if it were real. But its the same post worded slightly as another post a few days ago about both parents being dead. As someone with a deceased motherand and a jerk exboyfriend who forgot on the anniversary of her death this pretty much sucks to see somebody else getting pitty for

The biggest question here is how he reacted after you reminded him. A close second, is how did his frustration even come up? Two months of dating isn't usually past the point of meeting the parents. I'm kinda clingy, and I waited 6 months.
