Today, my boyfriend was introducing me to some business partners. As he was going along telling me their names, when he introduced me, he called me by my best friend's name. FML

Today, I found out my boyfriend's parents consider me more of a clingy friend than a girlfriend. We have been together over 5 years. 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 was introducing my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. I meant to say, "Mom, Dad, this is Tom." Instead, I said, "Mom, Dad, this is Mom." My boyfriend is now jokingly reconsidering our relationship, and my parents won't stop making fun of me. FML

Nice to meet you… again
Today, my mother invited me to a nice restaurant to meet her boyfriend whom she's been seriously dating for a month. Imagine my surprise when she led me to a table and my boyfriend's father stood up, shocked, to greet me. Rather than being horrified, she is now planning double dates every week. FML

Today, after dating someone for a year and a half, upon meeting his mother for the first time he'd told me she has bad anxiety and that he’s going to introduce me as his friend, and the only reason I was meeting her was because she was selling her deceased husband's car. FML

What a bitch. Introduce her as your boyfriends great grandmother.

10 years? And you're still his girlfriend? I think that may be the reason she referred to you as his friend. He either sucks at commitment or this is a very open relationship. Still a mean thing to do, of course.

Look on the bright side, OP. *IF* you and your boyfriend ever decide to get married, maybe you can score a spot on that show "Monster In-Laws". ;)

See, right there and then I would take charge and extend my hand to shake the person's and say "Hi, I'm [Insert name here], I'm [boyfriend's name]'s partner, the son of this charming woman, for ten years! Really nice to meet you!" Standing up for yourself works wonders.

Well she probably thought after 10 years you guys would be married, so you guys must've been friends according to her.

Ummm well if you're not married or even engaged with him and you've been with for 10 years. She deserves the right ti call you friend.... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm reading the FML as if OP meant 'her' friend...

You're so wrong that I don't even take the time to correct you. Just read Kyleekay her posts about marriage, 'cause I couldn't word it better.

Well actually I've been with my boyfriend for about 10 years and we're not engaged yet, do you think that I also should only be referred to as a 'friend' because of this? I think that it's perfectly fine for a couple to take their time if they don't feel they are ready to get married, it is different for every relationship.

You ahould have corrected her on the spot Mom:"this is his friend" You: "ahem, Girlfriend" *shake hands with a big ol smile* :D HELL YEAH, that sounds about right.

Just correct her when she does that.

Get married or engaged. THAT'S what his mother is getting at...

Hey, I wasn't aware that people got married to satisfy their mother. I always thought it was a personal choice. Silly me.

Maybe she cares about him, and they act like a married couple. Alot of people don't get married and it it definitely not a reason to dump them.
