Today, my fiancé's mother tried to arrange a marriage for him to a nice Indian girl, again. We've been engaged for a year, and the wedding is in a month. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a week after my fiancé and I got engaged, his mother is already complaining that she isn't involved enough in the wedding arrangements. We haven't even set a date yet. FML
Today, my fiancé told me he wants to buy an engagement ring for his mother, so that she doesn't feel left out. FML
Today, I went to my fiancé's mother's funeral. His step-sister proudly announced that she's pregnant with his baby and they are engaged. FML
Today, I was busy going over wedding plans with my fiancé, when my mother called. Apparently, she wants me to "drop the joke" about this "fake engagement", because she was under the impression I was only dating a white guy to piss her and dad off, and was now getting carried away with it. FML
Today, my fiancé, his mother, my father and I went out to celebrate my birthday and our recent engagement. After dinner, my father and future mother-in-law revealed to us that they had secretly been dating and were talking about also getting married. Anybody want cake? FML
Today, my fiancé won't tell people we're engaged because his mother doesn't approve, and he doesn't want to upset her. FML
Today, I overheard my mom talking on the phone with my sister about how much they hate my fiancé. My wedding is in two weeks and my family has been pretending to like my future husband for three years. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed with the perfect ring, restaurant, flowers, and champagne. He’s never been this well prepared for anything in his life, so he admitted that my mother planned the whole thing and forced him to propose, even though neither of us want to get married. She even bought the ring. FML
Today, I announced my engagement. My mother's response was to freak out and demand that I postpone my wedding indefinitely. Why? My younger sister caught the bouquet at a wedding last year, so "she has to get married first!" My sister has been single for 3 years and showers once a week. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé's sister, who only got engaged a couple of months ago, is getting married before us. I wouldn't have a problem with this if she wasn't planning her wedding to be exactly like ours will be. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What a wonderful mother in law.

Let me be the one to say it: What a BITCH. I hate when parents try to interfere. Unless OP is a psycho lunatic bitch who is really wrong for the guy, the mom has no right to do that, especially when they are already engaged.
duke56924903 11
I mean really, the mother had no right to interfere anyway. The guy has the right to marry a psycho bitch if he really wants to.

Yes, but its also forgivable for a mother to be concerned about who their son is dating, solely because she is his mother and she has the right to show concern ya know? I mean, if it was my kid marrying somebody I didn't like (for instance a drug addict or somebody with a history of cheating), I would probably show some concern. But doing this is extreme and totally uncalled for.

It seems to me like a month before the wedding is a little late to be expressing concerns.

The FML says "again". This is probably not the first time this has happened.

Your fiance's name is not Rajesh Koothrapoli is it?
Sebastian_NG 17
48, if that was the case the future mother in law is the least of her problems, others come to mind such as Rajesh being constantly drunk.

The only thing that made me believe that this FML is true is the "Indian" adjective in front of the word mother.

Well OP, time to get married!

OP's fiancée would be the biggest pussy if he listened to his delusional mother.

At least they try to keep the traditions alive? :) But even though it's tradition, you could have spoken with her about it ^^ But it looks like your boyfriend are not suspicious at all, and that's good!:)

Actually this is not tradition. Traditional Indian marriage the parents place an ad in the paper and interview multiple women and narrow it down to a few who the man dates and decides from. If the man finds someone on their own, they marry them and parents don't worry about arranging a marriage. Op's mother in law is just racist.

Maybe this is a sign from her that she doesn't like you very much.

I think she much just want him to follow the tradition or something.. But hating her could be it too lol

Sadly, that's exactly what the boyfriend's mom is looking for.

I hate when I read stuff like this because it misrepresents a significant proportion of Indians. My parents have absolutely no issue with me dating outside my race and a whole lot of people (both male and female) in our community have gone on to have inter-racial marriages (and produce really good-looking offspring). We live in a multicultural society, for God's sake!

I'm lucky, my Indian boyfriends parents love me (maybe because I'm an Indian trapped in a white body..) but the older family members? I'm white trash, etcetc.... It's hard though

75, Indian men and white women make cute grandkids for their inlaws, definite mitigating factor. There's no reasoning with older folk, they decided how they want things to work long before you were born.

Just kill her. Kill them all.

Time to elope or lock mother in law in the closet until after the wedding.
littlemsweirdo 12
Well most Indian families are not Very open to interracial marriages. Asian parents are like that too. My momma would slap me if I came home with a black guy!
Calyx_fml 22
Which is exactly why you should.
williamcarter93 13
would you do so anyway, if that black guy was who you wanted?

What if he was a white boy or anybody from a different race, would that be OK ??

Oh, Leonard, you should have stuck with Penny! Raj's sister is nice, but her dad is Babu and you just remind him of Jerry Seinfeld.
