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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me at my grandma's funeral. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for a romantic dinner, since we can't see each other this Valentine's Day. Halfway through, my aunt called, telling me my grandma had died. I had to leave because I was crying so much, leaving my girlfriend with a very pricey bill. FML
Today, I was watching a movie alone, after receiving a text from my boyfriend saying that his grandma was at the hospital, so he couldn't go with me. I caught him on a date with another girl, at the same movie screening that I went to. FML
Today, I told my boss that my grandma died to get a day off work, but then my grandma showed up at the office looking for me because she wanted to go shopping. FML
Today, I called my boyfriend to have a shoulder to cry on because my grandpa died. As soon as I told him, he started crying and telling me how much he missed his grandmother, who died six years ago. I spent the majority of the phone call listening to him wail. 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 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
Today, I found out my grandmother passed away. When I told my boyfriend I began to cry. Instead of caring, he said "you're getting my bed wet," rolled over, and fell asleep. FML
Today, my boyfriend showed up at my grandmother's wake in torn jeans and a Family Guy t-shirt. When I took him aside asked him what the hell he was thinking, he lost his temper and stormed out. FML

That's pretty damn low to use a relative's death like that as an excuse just to not have to be with you for a day. And was he foolish enough to think you'd never find out later? I'm not a complete fan of "dump him" but I don't really like your boyfriend OP

Maybe it was his other grandma?

Agreed with #1. Death isn't funny.
lilhellian 27
The death in billy and mandy is..

Is there a chance that it was his father's mom that died? The FML doesn't specify.
Snoopy0718 14
If it was his father's mother, then I don't think his mom and grandma wouldn't be at the mall shopping:

Went to lunch after the funeral?

A relationship doesn't work if there is no trust and honesty.

I'm astounded that you managed to get first comment #1 with such a long, in-depth answer. Normally first comments are short and not very insightful.

BurnDownTheDawn 11
Wouldn't his mom go to the funeral?
justspin 7
Maybe not. If his parents are separated or his mom never liked her husbands mother.
DaniPandi 22
Or maybe his other grandma had died long ago.
Carmstro 13
6, the funeral could have been in the morning, and the mom and her mom could have both gone to the funeral and made plans to have lunch together afterwards. The boyfriend might have just wanted some time to himself for the day.
I_iz_B_a_troll 24
Yeah, I have (had) about five people in my life that I would consider "grandmas" so I don't think it's entirely impossible for it to be someone else, but if not then that is really pathetic for someone to lie about that.
CCSA 12
41- 5 grandmas? O.o No offence, but I was wondering how many times your mom/dad got re-married to someone else...
sugarshane007 20
44 - People can easily have 4 or 5 grandmothers. I had 5. 2 biological, 3 in-law. Not all that uncommonly, granted the grandmothers all make it to hen you get married.
I_iz_B_a_troll 24
My parents are still together. My grandparents on my dad's side got divorced, so he remarried and there's two. My grandma on my mothers side died and so my step-grandpa remarried, that's four. And I just always considered my great grandmother a grandma because I don't like to make people feel too old. :P

I'm guessing that, since OP immediately thought her boyfriend was lying, there is no other reasonable explanation for his mother and grandmother having lunch. The FML also said that she saw "his 'dead' grandmother," so that tells me that it was that particular grandmother that he told her had died.

Another possible flaw in this statement is that I'm sure OP would know who's who; it sounds like they've dated a while :
Lichinamo 33
44- My mother was in foster care and had two different families, after her father remarried. That's four. Then there's my dad's mom and his stepmom. Boom, 6 grandmas.

Why wouldn't his mom be at the funeral for her husbands mother?
HeroesKiller7 9
Exactly what I was gonna say, but if it's not, she should really dump him ... cause if he doesn't think she'll be with him enough to find out then she shouldn't be with him.
FlyingPie 17
Being lied to like that would kill me.
shellz102 12
Ya, it's bad that he lied, but he should be able to spend quality time with his family. I think OP over reacted a little.
MatteKudasai 17
77- What? OP didn't say what their reaction was. Also there was no mention of OP's boyfriend spending time with his family, as it was her boyfriend's mother who was with the grandma. Did we read two different things?
Haha_Owned3 6
Don't worry 3, I see what you did there.
unknownfork 12
Maybe it was his other grandmother who had died.
shellz102 12
78- oops... I did read that wrong. I thought it said that OP's boyfriend was with the grandma. Disregard my first comment.
justspin 7
Is it maybe a grandma on his dads side???
Zedd_fml 8
Or grandma wanted her LAST MEAL.
patrickalamo 48
Sure because his mom would skip her mother-in-laws funeral.
lilhellian 27
Go to his house and Ghost Whisperer on him!
mydadpulledout 17
what?
lilhellian 27
Ghost whisper is a show where this girl talks to ghosts....

What, holy shit everyone else is making a ton of money doing nothing. I'm just sitting here masturbating.

ICastillo 25
That sucks that he lied, but maybe you have been real boring lately.
AwkwardPartyBear 24
That's still not an excuse to lie about a realative's death.
sammyjanette 17
Why do people lie about these things? What's so difficult about saying I don't want to hang out today maybe sometime later?
Allornone 35
I never understood it either. I wouldn't doubt that 90% of lies told are completely unnecessary. Most of the time, the truth just isn't that terrible. Lives would be so much simpler if people weren't afraid to just be honest.
Karma_Geddon 36
If he can't tell her that he doesn't want to see her and has to make up a lie, especially such an awful one using his grandmother like that, I would say he is only stringing her along because he is getting something from her. It's not a relationship or a future though. Kick him to the curb OP
SillyGirl4602 23
I agree with you. He should have just told her that he didn't want to hang out that day. Lying about a grandmother dying is horrible.

AHHH!! Zombie apocalypse has begun!

You know, some people have two pairs of Grandparents.
cr3ativity 15
2minutes late.
howdeedoo 22
Actually 11, all people have two pairs of grandparents. Unless your parents are siblings, but that isn't that common
myoukei 31
If you have two PAIRS of grandmas, that means you have four grandmas. Unless your grandparents are all lesbians, I can't see that happening.
howdeedoo 22
Two pairs of grandparents, not grandmas. That would be four total grandparents
DocBastard 40
The good news is that he can only use this excuse one more time. Then he'll have to go to dead uncles, aunts, cousins, pets, etc. Or he could stop, you know, being a lying fuckwad.
cr3ativity 15
Or maybe OP could get tired of the boyfriend's shit (lying) and find someone more... honest.
ScotsLassie 6
Why has no one yet asked why the heck she wasn't going to the funeral? By saying that she bumped into them this suggests that she knew them and therefore had some sort of relationship with his family, therefore she should have been there. It is totally shit that he lied but I can't help thinking that if you said that you would go with him that you would have realised that he was a dick in a less humiliating way
