Today, my girlfriend's parents wanted to cook dinner for me. After a whole day of cooking up a storm, her parents cooked an elaborate meal of roast lamb, pork chops and grilled chicken. Rejecting a meal is like spitting in ones face in Chinese culture. I'm vegetarian. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Being a chef of a highly-rated restaurant, I cooked a well-liked dish. Not only did she say no, but commented on how bland and tasteless the meal was. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's house for dinner with his family. His mom cooked up a steak dinner, except that I'm a vegan, but trying to be a good girlfriend, I forced it down. Upon his mother finding out I was a vegan, she called me "disloyal to my beliefs." FML
Today, I spent hours cooking dinner for my date. When they arrived, they told me that I'd probably not paid much attention to their dating profile, as it clearly mentioned that they were vegan, and thus couldn't eat any of the food I'd prepared. FML
Today, I made broccoli and peas with dinner. My girlfriend pouted, sulked, and refused to eat "yucky veggies", demanding fries or chips. Apparently, I'm dating a fucking toddler. FML
Today, I spent two hours making dinner for my boyfriend's family. When I brought it over to their house they said "thanks" and didn't bother to invite me to stay to eat it. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me home to have dinner with his parents. I couldn’t eat a single bite after watching his mom let her three dogs taste all the food off her hands, while she also licked her own fingers while cooking. Later on, he dumped me for being rude and “too high maintenance." FML
Today, my parents told me not to make plans for dinner as they were bringing it home. Normally, that would be great but they brought home slop from some buffet that had just opened. Everything was greasy, too salty, or bland. I told them they could have it, and made my own dinner. Now I'm being called, "The Food Network critic." FML
Today, my family are refusing to go out to eat with me anymore. Apparently, me liking my food cooked a certain way infuriates them because it delays our order, and makes the wait staff hate us. FML
Today, my parents invited my Muslim boyfriend over for dinner for the first time. My mother made sure that everything including the salad had pork in it. FML
Today, I went to my fiancé’s family’s house for dinner. They put pork and/or alcohol in EVERY. SINGLE. DISH. Including putting bacon grease in the desserts. They know I’m Muslim and his mom insisted I was being rude for only drinking water. We ended up leaving with me in tears. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why didn't you tell them that when you found out they wanted to cook for you? Unless you had no idea until you arrived for dinner. In which case, FYL indeed.

That sounds like a hell of a meal you missed out on.

They went to a lot of effort for you. If you knew ahead of time they were cooking for you, you're a douche for not letting them know of any dietary restrictions.

I had a similar thing with my husband's parents... they cooked a reindeer casserole. For all those saying you should have warned them before, do you know how awkward things can be with parents?

Do you know how much MORE awkward things will be NOW?

Surprised your GF didn't tell them. That rather sucks though, but what happened after?

If you didn't bother to make sure that they knew in advance, then YDI. On the other hand, if they ignored it, then they deserved it (not to mention FYL). Then again, if you're a vegetarian for reasons other than some dietary necessity or personal preference, then you probably deserve it anyway.

YDI for being vegetarian! Seriously, you won't stop people killing animals for food with that and it isn't that healthy at all. But okay, that's my opinion. FYL because your girlfriend didn't tell them that you're a vegetarian.

"YDI for being vegetarian! Seriously, you won't stop people killing animals for food with that and it isn't that healthy at all. But okay, that's my opinion." It IS your opinion, because it's backed with /no/ fact. It's a proven fact that being a vegetarian saves over 50 animal lives a year. It is also proven that it is much healthier, as it leads to lesser chances of obesity and heart disease, and even some cancers, diabetes, and hypertension. There are no nutrients in meat that you can't get elsewhere. Plus, many vegetarians don't eat meat as a personal choice, because they personally won't be responsible for murder, and even because they don't like the taste of meat. Few of them think they're going to change the world to a vegetarian one... but, it's like killing people- do you not kill people because you think it'll make everyone stop killing, or because it's your choice to be moral and not murder?

totally agree, i personally don't eat meat because of the being responsible for murder thing, but also because right now my stomach won't take it, and i don't wanna go through the agony of readjusting my body's digestion system so i can consume loads of a fat and grease -.- but yeah, i didn't go veg cuz i felt i could convince the world to stop killing animals, yeah i've brought the info to a few friends who i'm glad to say have gone vegetarian and one that went vegan (even though i'm not vegan anymore lol) but definitely not the world

I don't kill people because I'd get in trouble. ... You know that morals are made, not built in, right? So it's not exactly a personal choice so much as a social conscious (and, in my opinion, an overreactive one). Personally, I think all forms of life, humans and plants included, are equally disgusting, so wth's it matter who eats what? I don't care if your diet is healthy because it's your own damn life.

The good news is that you can eat pussy and still be considered a vegetarian. The "eating" is just a figure of speech, just like the "blowing."

It's as simple as this: If you don't eat her parents' meat, your girlfriend won't be eating your meat.

That really sucks. Your girlfriend should have told them. FYL for the horrible choice you had to make.
