Today, my husband showed up late to my mother's funeral. He swaggered in, happily finishing off a half-eaten taco. His excuse for why he was so cheerful: "She was an in-law, honey." Good to know I married a piece of shit in disguise. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my wife made me go with her to dinner with her parents, despite their long-standing hatred of me. Later on, my mother-in-law muttered to me, "I made yours special for ya", smirked, then made a show of scratching at her butt-crack. FML
Today, I told my husband that as I wasn't hungry, he had to cook for himself. He rang my Spanish stepmother as a joke to complain that I’m not wifey material. She showed up, whacked me with her Chancla, and browbeat me into cooking. He feels hella guilty, but he’s still a dead man once she leaves. FML
Today, during my father's funeral, I heard my mother-in-law mutter, "No loss there. Lazy cunt." FML
Today, my husband asked me to meet him at 6 for our date night, but I ended up being 45 minutes late. Turns out he predicted my lateness and had booked the restaurant for 7, not 6. He knows me so well, but sometimes I hate the smug smarmy bellend. FML
Today, my husband stood me up for his birthday dinner, that I'd made, in our house. FML
Today, my father, who I rarely see, drove 400 miles to my wedding. I was so happy to see him, until he got completely trashed at my reception, asked me where he could "score some weed" and told me what a bitch my mom was, and how I needed to lose weight. For over an hour. At my wedding. FML
Today, my (now ex) best friend wore funeral attire to my wedding, and instead of a speech, she gave a eulogy, making it sound like my new husband had brutally murdered me. FML
Today, I found my husband's journal, and along with it the real reason he took so long to show up to our wedding rehearsals last year. According to the journal, it was because he was too busy wooing a married mother of five and sticking his "slut-banger all up in that fat booty." FML
Today, my future mother-in-law blamed me for the death of her husband because I should have taken him to the ER when she didn't feel like it. She then blamed me for her getting a new boyfriend less than two months later and making her son hate her when she insisted he call the guy "Dad". FML
Today, my husband came home drunk off his ass at 2am. He started crying on my shoulder because he couldn't go home with some beautiful woman who hit on him, because sadly for him, he's married to me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It always makes me sad to see how little respect some people pay to their spouse and spouse's family.

There's nothing else to be said here than seriously reconsider you relationship with him, if not leae him altogether. Your mother, a huge part of your childhood and life, a true bond and a shoulder to hold yourself up on, passed away. His reaction was to non-chalantly turn up late, with a spring in his step, almost relishing her death as a side-dish for his taco and fully aware of the contrast between his cheerfulness and douchebaggery, and this day of mourning. I don't think he has a shred of humanity or decency, and probably not a lot of love for you or your family for him to be able to do that. Get rid of this asshole.

I don't see the "in disguise" part. He's just a piece of shit. And while I'm reluctant to jump on the "dump him" bandwagon, anyone who waltzes late into the funeral of his wife's mom and cheerfully says "she was an in-law" deserves to be dumped. Even if he didn't like your mom, he can at least try to be supportive of you in your moment of grief.

From what I've just read, it's not a very good disguise.

A man is like a deck of cards, you need a heart to love him, a diamond to marry him, a club to bash his head in, and a spade to bury the bastard. Take this and use it as you will. But on a serious note, that's horrible. A very heartless thing to do. I'm so sorry, hun, for your loss and your husband's douchebaggery. Just stay strong!

Sorry OP. It shouldn't matter if he hated your mother with every fiber of his being, if he loved and respected you, he'd take your feelings into consideration. FYL indeed!

I just wanted to say that I am SO incredibly sorry to hear that your mom died. My mom and I have been best friends, just as close as you can get, my entire life, and she died in November. I know that nothing anyone says can make it better, but I hope that you allow yourself to grieve, and have good support, outside of your husband. It's always a shock to realize how damn unsensitive people can be in these situations... I'm so sorry he said that. Sorry for the long post, but I have one more thing to add- if you don't already have it, I would strongly suggest reading the book "Motherless Daughters", and if you have kids, Hope also wrote a book called "Motherless Mothers", which I plan to read soon. Anyhow, I wish you the very best in making it through this undescribable tragedy, and please know that you will be in my thoughts. Once again I am so sorry you are going through this, and I wish I could kick your husband in the shins! :-/ Take care hun.

At a funeral once every time someone said they'd pray for me, my ex told them to do something productive instead.

Wow what an ass. I hope your going to divorce him. No one should be treated the way he did to you.

Man, I know I'll be relieved when my crazy mil is gone, although I wouldn't show it to my spouse

Sorry for your losses, OP: of your mother, and of any last shred of decency your husband may have had.
