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.

Oops, I accidentally tapped YDI instead of FML. This is totally FML not YDI. I'm really sorry OP, it doesn't matter how much he didn't like her, he needed to be there for you with a drastically different attitude.

FML's like this make me so sad. When a person gets married, it should be to someone who loves them, respects them, and helps them through the bad times as well as being there for the good times. I couldn't imagine my husband doing something like this FML because he knows that it would hurt me (and he's not a dick in general), and it makes me sad that there are women and men out there with horrible spouses like this who disrespect them in such major ways. Nobody deserves that. No matter how many selfish, mean or cruel people we come across in life, your own spouse shouldn't be one of them.

you cant change who your husband hates and he has the right to be happy about it.. but no matter how much you hate a person... either respect them at their funeral or don't go to it at all....and if you forced him to go dispite knowing his relationship with her... ydi

Expecting your husband to be respectful and supportive of you at your own parents funeral isn't an outlandish request, imo. Even if the husband didn't like the OP's mother, he should have been there for his wife. Not celebrating and acting like an insensitive ass in front of all the people who are mourning for the woman. It sounds like he's just a selfish asshole who doesn't respect his wife or her feelings.

Im gonna give him the benefit.of the doubt and say....Maybe he and the mother had an ugly relationship...

If that was the case, he shouldn't have shown up to the funeral at all. It's disrespectful towards his wife AND the other people at the funeral to be celebrating the death of his wife's mother in front of them all. The OP mostly likely needed her husband to be there for her during her time of grief, and he was acting like an celebratory ass and eating a frickin' taco at the funeral. All it shows is how much he doesn't respect his wife.

Im not saying he should have done that but he doesn't have to be sad because they may have had a bad relationship…
