Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

I don't really see a problem with that. She was just pretty much stating you had a type and he was apart of it. Unless he didn't know you were married before. Then YDI because he would have found out sooner or later.

Take your profile pic and use that advice for yourself and re-read the FML again. The mother clearly told the new bf about looking like her ex-husband... He already knows she was married before... Jeez!

I would honestly love to know How you know that the boyfriend knew she was married prior before ops mother said that? It doesn't say that anywhere. So maybe you should listen to my picture. Peace.

prior to and before mean the same thing, you don't have to say "prior before" S:

I think it's a situation where the boyfriend will feel she isn't dating him because she likes him for him but because she is still in love with her ex husband.

What guy wants to be compared to another? I can see why the OP would prefer the mother to not bring up such topics.

Just remember to say the right name during sex and you should be fine. ;)

But you thought it would be appropriate to get a boyfriend, who looks like your ex-husband, and you thought no one would point that out to you? Where exactly is the FML here? You deserve it!

It's better then telling him he is ugly or something.
