Today, my fiancé's stepfather asked me how my teaching job was going. I replied heatedly that I've never taught, and then complained bitterly to my fiancé about how his family still doesn't know me. Turns out his stepfather has early onset dementia, and that I'm an asshole. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML
Today, I happily introduced my stepfather to my friends as my dad. He told me, "Don't ever fucking call me that." FML
Today, the man who fired me from my job became my stepfather. FML
Today, my family and my fiancée's family met each other and my worst fear came true. My asshole dad found out my fiancée's dad is a reverend and his first sentence was, "How's the molestation business these days?" It didn't take long before a brawl erupted and we were kicked out. I'm cutting him off for good. FML
Today, I let my step-father know exactly what I thought of him. After a few moments of awkward silence, he leaned towards me and quietly whispered, "Well you're adopted. Your parents never loved you." FML
Today, my friend's father got me mixed up with his new wife when telling stories for his wedding speech. Everyone noticed. The new wife was not pleased. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. Turns out his dad is the asshole customer that I complain about all the time. He recognized me too and spent the entire dinner making passive-aggressive remarks about how bad of an employee I am. FML
Today, my mother arranged for me to meet the man she is planning to marry. Turns out, my future stepfather is also my creepy old boss, who spent 4 months hitting on me before I quit a year ago. 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, my girlfriend's dad returned home from deployment. Being the grade A fucktard that I am, I got flustered and asked, "So um, did you make it back?" He looked me dead in the eyes and said completely deadpan, "No, obviously I died. Moron." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Seems like you don't know much about his family either so what are you so pissed about?

In-laws DON'T have to know anything about you other than your name. They don't have to "know" you, or even like you. That being said, be greatful that your future in-law even took an interest in your life. Some people have in-laws that can't even be civil in their presence. Oh, and don't complain bitterly in front of them. Even if he didn't have dementia, you were an asshole. It's not exactly endearing to hear someone complain about you.

It's ironic that you complain about his family not knowing you. It seems as though you're the one who doesn't know them very well.

Seems like you are just one of those people who thinks the world revolves around them. Not FYL, F the lives of everyone close to you.

Sounds like you don't know your fiancé's family either (ee). Especially if you didn't know about the stepfather's dementia. Your fiancé should have told you. :P

A small caveat: Families can be in serious denial about dementia, especially early-onset. One family I knew took years to all finally accept that a middle-aged family member had a real medical problem.

85, it's especially sad when the family's denial costs them precious time in treating the medical condition. I've seen it before. We always got calls in the middle of the night from an older lady claiming people and scary things were in her house and yard. In truth, nothing was there. Her daughters that lived nearby knew it, but her son(who had power of attorney) that lived out of state was in huge denial. This poor woman lived in fear of weird shit that only she could see and her son's answer was to build a bigger fence around her yard instead of getting her medical help. And no, the police calling him didn't help, he was that much in denial.
