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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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, I had dinner for the first time with my boyfriend's parents. It was awkward enough without his mom asking, "So, what do you do for fun, besides my son?" FML
Today, for the very first time, I invited my girlfriend's parents for dinner. I bought a pre-made oven dish, just to be sure nothing could go wrong. Once at the table, her mother asked pointedly who forgot to remove the plastic foil before putting it in the oven. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over to my parents' house for dinner. My dad made Holocaust jokes the entire time. My boyfriend is Jewish. FML
Today, I decided to introduce my girlfriend to my parents by telling them that we were gonna have a very special guest for dinner. While my mom was preparing the meal she asked, "What does he like?" I'm straight. My parents thought different. FML
Today, my parents met my boyfriend for the first time. They spent the entire meal trying to convince him to dump me, all while I was sitting right next to him. FML
Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML
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
Today, I was invited to my boyfriend's house for dinner for the first time. His mom made a fantastic dinner, so I showed my appreciation by eating the lot. Apparently I was overdoing it because when I looked up everyone was staring. His dad muttered, "Slow the hell down." FML

Ok for people thumbing me down, I am ashamed to be a part of the human race with you if you're that ignorant. Western cultures expect respect and yet most don't care about other cultures...ridiculous.

I'm a white man from the US, yet I completely agree with you. Remember, there are ignorant people in every culture.

Haha normally I don't care but people are being rude to Muslim beliefs and it makes me angry
robinhood007 9
And I meant that like they're most of the time ruder to Muslims culture than others.

Are you serious? You're a dumbass who obviously knows nothing about cultures other than your own.

Humans are animals too but we don't eat them...at least most of us. Everyone has their own thing.

4, I can't decide if you're really THAT ignorant or just trolling. I'll settle for stupid. :D

You've got to be trolling

It's not like Muslims are disrespecting people by telling them what to eat so don't disrespect us and tell us what we should eat. Douchebag.

Okay... I know absolutely nothing about the Muslim culture or religion, but even I was able to piece together (and judge from more educated commenters) that it is against that religion to eat pork. I highly doubt it is a choice that OPs boyfriend can make on his own. Show a little respect, honestly.

To get back at your mom, just tell her "It's ok, he's already had his fill of meat when he was "porking" me on your bed."

Pigs are oinking dicks.

I love eating pigs. They are yummy to my tummy. If the boy has a problem with it he shouldn't date her. Her family should not be expected to change their life to fulfill his stupid decision to not eat something.
redhedsaysrawr 18
youre a dumbass, ok? thats someone's RELIGION. im sorry, but there are some things about a religion you just cannot change... thats like saying "oh his girlfriend eats Kosher stuff so they cant be together" for a Jewish person... Please go educate yourself...

And to make matters even worse, the way OP wrote her FML it implies the mother did it on purpose. You're ridiculous and need to learn things before commenting on something you know nothing about.
