Today, I attended my mother's funeral. My husband came too, and during the service, I kept hearing him giggling. I wrote it off as the usual awkward nerves, until he started snorting too, and I caught sight of the iPhone under his jacket. He was reading this very site. FML

Today, I went to a funeral for my coworker's father. While there, my dad's cell phone rang and he left to answer it. I turned to my brother and said, "I can't believe he brought his cell phone!" He whispered, "I can't believe he's got coverage. This is a dead zone!" I laughed loudly. At a funeral. FML

Today, I attended the funeral of a close friend. Most of the other guests were openly grinning and joking around, and the guy in front of me kept muttering, "That's what she said!" during the eulogy. FML

Today, my family attended the funeral of an old family friend's baby, who died in childbirth. Afterwards, my husband went around snickering and quietly telling dead baby jokes to the other attendees. FML

Today, I was visiting my new in-laws for the first time. During an awkward silence, I took my phone and figured I'd send my friend a text jokingly saying "Mayday, mayday! Somebody save me!" My mood lightened up a little and I felt quite well until my mother-in-law's phone beeped. Yep. FML

Today, I was at work, reading some funny stories on my phone. Just as one of my co-workers decided to share that his father had passed away recently, I burst into uncontrollable, teary-eyed laughter at a story. They don't believe my explanation, and have branded me the office asshole. FML

Today, while talking to my boyfriend, I was frantically searching for my cell phone. He was curious as to what I was doing so I told him. There was long silence followed by laughter. He could hardly breathe as he told me, "Honey you're on your phone talking to me." FML

Today, my husband showed up late to my mother's funeral. He swaggered in, happily finishing off a half-eaten taco. His excuse for why he was so cheerful: "She was an in-law, honey." Good to know I married a piece of shit in disguise. FML

Today, I attended a funeral. During the minute of silence, my phone went off. My ringtone is "It's good to be alive". FML

Today, a relative showed me a picture of her phone. I also saw a picture of her husband, a friend, sleeping. He looked like he was dead to the world. I asked, jokingly, "Why is there a picture of a dead guy on your phone?" Turns out it was her father, who is in the hospital, and dying any day now. 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

You then send him to sleep on the couch for a week and then start giggling.

I think you're all being too harsh on OPs husband. Yes, it was disrespectful of him. But at least he went to support her during this difficult time. He could have just as easily stayed home to read FMLs. I know when both of my uncles died, we weren't close so I didn't even go to either funeral. If mum had been more upset I might have, but yeah. OP probably wasn't too upset in that exact moment, or her hubby would have been consoling her; I'm sure of it.

The point is that if he really was there for his wife he should've been consoling her during the funeral or at the very least acting sympathetic, not laughing his ass off. It means he WASN'T there to support her, but out of some assumed obligation on his part, which makes him a jackass. Hell, I hope the husband reads this fml and feels terrible.

I am so sorry OP! For both your mothers passing and your husbands insensitvity. I hope your husband realizes it is not okay for him to do so, and my deepest sympathies regarding your mother. RIP

I would have smacked the damn phone out of his hand. I've got a funeral to attend myself in a couple days, and I can't even imagine how pissed I'd be if that happened.
