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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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.

Now what in the hell was he hoping to accomplish by saying that, no ANNOUNCING that in front of your family?? He was looking for a fight and he was being deliberately disrespectful to your family. Beliefs aside, why would you wanna be with a guy like that?!

I'm an atheist and I'd never do that but somehow imagining that situation I sadly find it hilarious.

You deserve it for knowing your boyfriend and family's beliefs clashed.

How is it her fault?... She can't control what others believe, and it isn't her fault that they dont believe the same thing...

35 - You know people with clashing beliefs can get on just fine, right? Just because OP's boyfriend is an atheist doesn't mean he's automatically going to be at the throat of a religious family. That's down to the fact that he's a dick.

"With clashing beliefs" brilliant. She knows what her boyfriend is like that she should have seen this coming. I am not saying what they believe is her fault, I am saying dating an atheist and bringing him to a gathering for a very religious family is stupid.

112 - So you REALLY think all atheists would behave like that?!?
Zomg_Okay 27
112 - It's only a stupid thing to do if the atheist is a ****. An atheist who isn't a **** wouldn't even care that the family are religious and would just enjoy the barbecue.
UnluckyGenius 21
Damn it, I am not saying all atheist would act like that you moron. I am saying OP should know him well enough to have seen this coming. What the bloody hell don't you understand about that? Brb lighting myself on fire and running off a cliff now.

#122, You know it's impossible to judge what someone's going to do, right? As far as we know, they could have been a new couple. Maybe she was going to introduce him to her family? He acted like an utter idiot and that's NOT her fault.

Also, when you say "dating an Atheist and bringing him to a gathering with a very religious family is stupid" comes across as you stereotyping all Atheists.

Time for him to become an ex. Real men don't pull stupid crap like that.

That was very wrong and stupid of your boyfriend to do so. If you guys haven't broken up yet by any chance, sit down with him and have a serious talk. He owes your parents am apology. As for your parents, I hope you talked to them and explained what happened. If they still don't talk to you, then obviously they are just as immature as your boyfriend. I really hope and wish you the best of luck, OP

An apology*

Forget about religion, your boyfriend was looking to pick a fight, a massive one at that. You need to keep yourself far away from sociopathic people like that, because if it's not religion and it's not your family, he will always find a situation to **** up as royally as he did this one.

Westboro baptist family?

Regardless of what you believe everyone should just keep to themselves, that was disrespectful and just stupid.

I am an Atheist and I think he is a jerk. It is wrong to shove any belief in other people's faces.
