Today, my soon to be mother-in-law sent me a birthday present. It was a necklace for me to wear at my wedding. The pendant is a well known lesbian symbol. I'm a woman and I'm marrying her son. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my fiancé's mother gave me a beautiful cross necklace to wear for my wedding. I'm Jewish. FML
Today, my mother-in-law gave me a toaster and a fork as a wedding gift. FML
Today, I told my mom that I’m a lesbian. She was fine with it, supported me 100%, and it was a huge relief, until she followed up with, “Until you find a husband, then you’ll obviously have to stop all that.” The reason I even told her is because my girlfriend just proposed to me, and we’re engaged. FML
Today, I was bitched out by my shrew of a mother for getting engaged, to a man. She's not homophobic, but rather pissed off because gay marriage is "trendy" and she wants me to be "above that nonsense". Hurray for love. FML
Today, my husband bought me a beautiful pair of earrings for my birthday, to match the necklace he'd spent months searching for online the previous year. What necklace? He gave me a watch he found at Walmart last year. I wonder who the lucky girl with the necklace is. FML
Today, I found out that my ex gifted a special handcrafted necklace I made for him to his new girlfriend. She wears it on all her socials. FML
Today, at 18, I finally told my mom I was gay. She spent the rest of the day bringing up my "future wife" at every possible chance she had. FML
Today, my fiancé told me he wants to buy an engagement ring for his mother, so that she doesn't feel left out. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mom bought us matching purity rings. FML
Today, my mother beamingly asked for my opinion on her wedding dress. She is engaged to her cousin. Conveniently, they already have the same last name. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Funny, but not exactly FML. I'm sure you can both have a giggle about it later. Reminds me of when my aunt bought a hash leaf t-shirt because "it was pretty", without realising what type of plant it was.

1) She wants you to experiment with her son. (Maybe he gave it to her to give to you?) 2) She wants you to realize your true orientation in life. Or maybe she's old and doesn't know what the symbol is. I say wear it proudly in a low-cut revealing sheer silk lingerie top.. At your wedding.

Not everybody knows about those 'symbols', take it from me. If this is a genuine mistake, it's really rather funny, isn't it? Also, one thing I learned on my wedding day: My mother told me, 'Never, EVER, fight with your in-laws, no matter what'. Hold your tongue, hold your temper; you be the good one (and your husband will love you for it).

...Well known lesbian symbol? I didn't know they got their own symbol.

What about the fact that the symbol looks like a key, so it looks like two keys interlocked ... And therefore could symbolize the "key to your heart" ... two of them meaning one for each.

Maybe your future mother-in-law is put off by your strange aversion to hyphens. The poor woman can't stand to think of her son's long, hyphenless marriage.
