Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mom stared at me throughout dinner before finally blurting out, "I'm sorry, I can't get past the fact that you look just like his ex!" It turns out I do. FML

Today, I went on a first date with a guy I really like. He brought up that there was a person staring at us from a nearby table. That person was my mom. FML

Today, while I was on a date, I noticed my ex-boyfriend in the restaurant, and he looked sad. So I walked over to see him and jokingly said, "You look like your mom died or something!" She had. FML

Today, I went on a bad first date and the guy was more into it than me. I tried to scare him away by only speaking in robot voice, with robot arms. He thought it was adorable, and told me I reminded him of his mother. FML

Eeeeeekkk. Please don't tell me that's why he's dating you. Maybe he's into MILF and was just looking for a girl who looked like her. *shudders*

Maybe he got tired of Stacy's mom saying no so he pursued you?

I'm sorry OP :/ how did he exact you to respond to that? If you really like him, I would laugh it off and try to forget the whole thing ever happened

Unless FML has changed their gender icons and has put a dress on the male icon, then OP is a girl.

I think you understood the FML wrong.

#9 - Actually, #7 understood it perfectly. The guy could've been dating OP's daughter, if OP had one.

The joke was that OP is, in fact, the ex's mom and therefore bears a striking resemblance to herself. I'll admit not the most clever joke but I thought you'd catch the nuance.

God, I'm pretty out of the loop on modern courting rituals, but I hope you at least had the decency to tell him that he reminded you of of your firstborn paternal aunt. Now THAT would romantic.

What a dick! How can someone say that on a first date? Obviously it's the worst idea ever, how you reacted to that? Please, tell me that you punched him, he deserved it.

Today, I realized that the air freshener in my bathroom and the air freshener in my girlfriend's bedroom are the exact same scent. Now, every time I go to the bathroom I get an erection, and every time my girlfriend and I have sex in her room, I think about shitting. FML

Today, while I was making out with my boyfriend, he left my dorm suddenly without telling me where he was going. A few hours later, he texted me to tell me that being with me made him feel dirty and he had gone to confession. He then called me a sinner. FML

Today, my 5 year-old daughter and I had the displeasure of walking in on my husband going down on another woman. I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that it’s been 2 hours and my daughter won’t stop bawling, or the fact that my husband threw the biggest fit, because I “had to come home too early.” FML

Today, I cannot believe my husband. All he had to do was contest a bogus parking ticket but because he's incapable of keeping his fat mouth shut, now he’s going to jail for contempt of court. He will lose his job because of this, guaranteed, and we have two kids to support. FML

Today, the guy I like, who told me he “is trying to heal from his divorce,” just got a girlfriend. He calls her “the one that made me believe in love again.” I spent almost a year being a friend, supporting his every need, and hopelessly holding it down for him. Good to know I’m not good enough and never will be. FML

Today, my wife of 8 years has been cheating on me for 5 of those years, making fun of me with her family that I don't have a social life outside of her and my 3 kids. I'm waiting to get my spinal fusion completed, so I'm a stay-at-home who that can't do much and have no other options, including no one to talk to about this. FML

Today, while at the grocery store an elderly woman farted very loudly next to me. Everyone in the aisle looked our way. The woman pointed at me, and left the aisle. I received many disgusted looks from children and their parents. FML
