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.

You should put something she's allergic to in the food you make, and make sure she knows, so she can watch you eat it.

Being allergic is not the same as not being able to eat due to a religion: One is just disrespectful, one is disrespectful AND deadly.

Did she do that on purpose? If she did, she's a disrespectful bitch.

Salad with pork? I think it was done on purpose... if not I don't doubt that the entire family is morbidly obese.

I feel bad for both you and your boyfriend. If I was in your situation, I would eat out. Screw her if she is going to be like that.

Either your mom is ignorant or being disrespectful. But I am going to say probably both. Sorry OP!!

I'm guessing your mother doesn't want you dating Muslims. I suggest you sit down with your mother and have a long talk or prepare yourself for a long life of snipes.

If your mums not respectful of your partners religion then theres not much you can do other than apologise to your boyfriend. Hope he didn't take it too personally OP.
