Today, my boyfriend of 2 months got upset and frustrated with me because he had yet to meet my mom. I'd told him on our first date that she passed away 4 years ago. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently my mom hates him and doesn't want us to be together. My mom died six years ago. FML

Today, a guy who I've been on five dates with called me for the first time in 2 weeks. The first thing I said was, "Don't expect me to go out with you again after going AWOL on me." Then he told me his mom died. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because he wasn't feeling our two-month relationship was up to par with his parents' 30-year marriage, and, furthermore, I wasn't similar enough to his mother. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he couldn't spend the day with me as he had his grandmother's funeral. Lonely, I went shopping and I bumped into his mum having lunch with his 'dead' grandma. FML

Today, my boyfriend dumped me. I tried to hide my sadness from my mom. She still noticed, and tried to cheer me up. She took me to a funeral. FML

Today, my boyfriend is always telling me I haven’t met his real mother yet, even though I’ve known her a year. However, when I happened to disagree with her today, she started screaming and hitting like a psycho. He had to wrestle her out the door. I get it now; I’ve now met his “real” mother. FML

Today, I went on a fabulous date with a really cute, smart, funny guy. He only mentioned his dad, so when I asked about his mom, I asked if they were divorced. She'd died of breast cancer so I felt awful. Then I asked if his dad had ever remarried. His stepmom had died of cancer too. FML

Hopefully he manages to get that detail to stick soon. -_-

Everyone make mistakes. He might have remembered but just had a slip of mind.

Or he's a single-celled primordial organism and can't remember or forget things... Nah, the dude's brain is a pebble.

Or maybe what he meant was to "meet" your mom as in visiting her grave with you someday? If he really cares about you then it is likely that he wants to meet anyone who you really care about dead or alive...at least that's what I think.

Should've said "I'll take you to meet my mom." And took him to her grave while not saying a word on the trip. Simply point at the gravestone. He won't forget again and he'll probably feel so guilty you get something out of it aswell! Win and a win imo.

I have to agree with the "take him to visit the gravesite" contingent. When we were first dating, the first relative my ex-wife "introduced" me to was her late grandmother. Not only did it hammer home the point of "Whoa, dead moomaw," but it stressed to me the importance this person played in my (then-)gf's life. It showed that she cared about me enough to share something like that with me.
