Today, I took my boyfriend to meet my family. Over the next hour, a huge religious debate erupted, and my grandfather drunkenly told us all how he almost killed himself once while experimenting with auto-erotic asphyxiation. My boyfriend called us all crazy and seems to have dumped 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 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

Today, I took my new boyfriend to a family dinner. Despite having made everyone agree to be on their best behavior, my grandma spewed obscenities such as "fuck me sideways, aren't you a catch?" and "you just can't pull ass like that at my age" throughout. FML

Today, I reluctantly agreed to bring my boyfriend home to meet my family. He said he wasn’t easily scared and could handle a “weird” family. Two hours later, there was a massive brawl when one uncle hit the other’s wife after she threw wine in his face. Tables were flipped, cops were called. Shit. FML

Today, my boyfriend showed up at my grandmother's wake in torn jeans and a Family Guy t-shirt. When I took him aside asked him what the hell he was thinking, he lost his temper and stormed 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, I told my boyfriend that I was going to stop drinking, since I have been having some problems with alcohol and some of my relatives are alcoholics. He later broke up with me, saying he couldn't be with someone who "chose to be boring." FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML

If your grandfather can show you the ropes of auto-erotic asphyxiation, you won't need a boyfriend!

That seems like the outcome I'd expect when introducing the BF. next time tell your new beau you're estranged from them. Problem solved.

Never knock a crazy, screwed up family. People with calm, nice home lives have no idea how to react when things go even slightly wrong, but you know to step to the side of the fan when the shit starts flying. Treasure that ability.

Don't worry OP when you grow up you can meet people that don't have to meet your family.

Relationships ruined by a weird family. I have seen this same damned story on FML over and over and over and over again. By the way, what was the religious debate about (catholic-protestant, muslim-christian, atheist-anything, etc.)? Because depending on what it is, I may have seen that one before as well. You know, religious people being assholes.

"love me, love my family." If you've ever watched 'You Can't Take It With You' you'd understand that when it comes to love you have to accept not only the person you are with but the family of the person you're with. You should also be grateful you have an eccentric family, I mean would you rather sit around all day barely saying two words to each other, or be away all the time, or sit around and talk about boring things?
