Today, my mother met my boyfriend. She thought it would be appropriate to tell him that he looks just like my ex-husband. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mom stared at me throughout dinner before finally blurting out, "I'm sorry, I can't get past the fact that you look just like his ex!" It turns out I do. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend's mother still calls his ex-girlfriend her "future daughter-in-law". FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend's mom still refers to his ex as 'the daughter she never had.' FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's entire extended family at a party. All of them, including his dad, said I looked exactly like his mum. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over. My mom told him the story about the time she caught me having sex with my ex-boyfriend. My ex is his best friend. FML
Today, on a first date, he told me I look like his ex's mom. FML
Today, I learned who my dad's new fiancée is. Upon meeting her she exclaimed, "My, I haven't seen you in a while!" She's my ex-boyfriend's mom. FML
Today, my mom called me to tell me she'd got in touch with my ex for his birthday, and that the two of them had made a plan for us to get back together. My new boyfriend was in the process of proposing to me. FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend of a year and a half to meet my parents. Turns out he dated my mom. This should be a fun dinner. FML
Today, my mum and I were walking down a road where we met an old neighbour who recently got divorced. Her son who we hadn't seen for about 10 years was with her and he looked very handsome. I said, "oh wow ! your son has grown up so much !" The woman replied, "this is my boyfriend." FML

Is it really any surprise that you can date multiple people who look alike? This is what people mean by having a "type". Your type is obviously that guy.

Hey at least he knows you think he is attractive!

Attractive isn't the problem. The problem is that he reminds his maybe future mother in-law of her ex-son in-law. And if he's out of the picture she probably thinks the ex is an ass and it transfers over to the boyfriend.

I think he was able to assume that once they started dating......

I love you Doc. Thank you for blessing the community with another comment.

Doc is right OP, maybe you're attracted to same looking guys, as Doc said "Types". It doesn't matter maybe he is much better person than your ex. Care about his personality not looks.

None of the people I've dated have been similar in any way except gender. That's as similar as it gets

Doc is truly a douche bag.

I think the point is she may have been hiding the fact that she had an ex-husband.

Mom looking out for you....

The question is if she liked or disliked your ex! Maybe she's just trying to get her claws in him, you never know with cougars...

I see your mother is trying to initiate conversation, things are going great now! FYL for your mother making it awkward as hell.

Well, she probably had a point. In my experiences, ex's tend to look somewhat similar to current significant others. But that was definitely an inappropriate time to say it. Hopefully this one won't go the same route as the last, OP! Good luck.

That's going to make things a little awkward for you, but it's not the end of the world.
