Today, my boyfriend and I went to my parents' barbecue. He knew my family is extremely religious, so what did he do? Called for silence to make an announcement, namely: "God isn't real." Cue a riot that ended in us being kicked out and me all but disowned for "putting him up to it". FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my family and my fiancée's family met each other and my worst fear came true. My asshole dad found out my fiancée's dad is a reverend and his first sentence was, "How's the molestation business these days?" It didn't take long before a brawl erupted and we were kicked out. I'm cutting him off for good. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to a family barbecue. I guess my dad heard him talking about the "fun" we'd be having later, because over the next two hours, he tripped my boyfriend up on concrete, threw a beer can at him, and sprayed him full-force with a water hose. All "accidentally" of course. FML
Today, I took my boyfriend to dinner to meet my parents. He agreed to be on his best behavior, but when my mom told us about some shady stuff going on at her job, he replied that it sounded "fishier than Justin Bieber's cunt." We were quickly kicked out. FML
Today, my parents met my boyfriend, and to say it went badly is an understatement. My mom went outside to relax by chain smoking and the shouting, and the screaming only ended when my dad took my boyfriend by the scruff of the neck and threw him out the front door into the street. FML
Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his family. They were drinking and having fun, so I joined in. I had one too many, got really goofy, and then suggested the farting game. "Sorry, I can't hold my liquor!" I quickly explained. My boyfriend's mom shot me a cold look and said, "It's non-alcoholic." FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years after finally realizing I'm a lesbian. He then outed me to my very religious and conservative family. FML
Today, my son told our whole family and all our friends that I kicked him out for being gay. I kicked him out because on more than one occasion he got drunk and sneaked random men in the house while he was supposed to be watching his younger siblings while I worked nights. They believed him. FML
Today, I accidentally said "Yes Daddy” to my boyfriend while at dinner with his parents. They threw me out. My boyfriend did nothing to defend me. FML
Today, my boyfriend met my parents, siblings, and some other family members. Thirty minutes later, he broke up with me and stormed out, yelling no way was he staying with me because they’re all fucking psychotic. He's my second boyfriend driven away by my family. FML
Today, my parents threatened to kick me out of the house if I didn't agree to convert to their new brand of Christianity. This is a day after they ranted at me about how I should speak my mind more and not let myself be controlled by other people. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If he can't respect your family (and their religious beliefs) enough to be polite, he isn't worth your time.

Hm, I can't tell who's worse. It's either your boyfriend or your parents. Also, if your boyfriend is an atheist, good luck having Christmas with your parents and him.

It's true, god isn't real...

Your family wouldn't let you date someone because they didn't believe in god? Holy ******* nutsack, your family has issues. I would think it'd be more important what the person's character was, rather than what religion they thumped to, but I have been wrong in the past.......

What an inconsiderate ********! Whether you agree or not, respect other people's opinions and beliefs.

Wow... I'd never do that. You know. Because I want my boyfriend's parents to LIKE me... Seriously, if he cared about you, why would he do that?

I know that god isn't real, but I'm not dumb enough to shout it out in a room full of Christians! Let them think what they want.

But you're dumb enough to make a post like this on the Internet? The only difference is that the people here can't physically harm you but you're still just as rude.

22- you're just as bad.

41, I don't know why you're assuming this is a room full of Christians.

you dont know that god isnt real it is jist the more likely scenario. both sides cannot give 100% proof so why fight about it.

FML us a room full of Christians? Lol.
monnanon 14
95 did yout read what i said. i said there is NO evidence either way. therefore he does not know that god doesnt exist but it is more likely that there is nothing. when there is no definiative proof either way why argue about it and why post a reply to me stating exactly what i said but in different words.

Today, a comment on a religious FML made me realize, this site is just a room full of Christians. FML

If your family was peppering him with religion questions, I could see why he took the spectacular "out." If not, he was being a preemptive dick.

So did the relationship end or are you disowned for good?

Well mostly people can't date others if they're of a different religion because its a rule of their own religion. Technically Christians can't marry outside of Christianity because the Bible says not to, cuz it can take u down a path of losing faith or your kids loss of faith.

I've sure they've been told it before. They over reacted a bit.
