Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents, despite my long-standing protests. Over the next hour, they asked her if she'd ever considered becoming a swinger, why not, if she'd ever consider it in future, and to keep them in mind if she does. FML

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my dad. I thought it was a good idea at the time, at least until he took her aside for a private chat. During the chat, he told her all about my two previous marriages and advised her to "get out while you can". FML

Today, my boyfriend and I introduced our parents to each other, and they seemed to have already met somewhere, so I asked them about it. At first they seemed shifty, then guilty, then admitted everything. They’ve actually known each other for decades as part of the same swingers group. FML

Today, I decided to introduce my girlfriend to my parents by telling them that we were gonna have a very special guest for dinner. While my mom was preparing the meal she asked, "What does he like?" I'm straight. My parents thought different. FML

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. My mother turned to me and said, "Wait you're actually gay? I thought you were just saying that to piss off your father." I came out to her when I was 16, and have confided in her about my past relationships. FML

Today, I decided to formally introduce my girlfriend to my parents. My dad took the opportunity to apologize for walking in on us a few days ago while we were having sex. It wasn't her. Thanks dad. FML

Today, I finally invited my girlfriend over to meet my oddball parents. The first words out of my dad's mouth were, "So, you're the silly girl who agreed to date my dickhead son." It went downhill from there. FML

Today, I planned on introducing my fiancé to my parents. After the introductions, and telling him how I hoped our relationship would have the same amount of love and commitment that has lasted my mother and father for 25 years, my parents awkwardly announced their imminent divorce. FML

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my family for the first time. My mother's immediate reaction was, "We didn't know you were gay!" No mom, she really is a girl. FML

And she stayed for the entire 1 hour interrogation without running away screaming? Hold on to this one, friend. Hold on to her like grim death.

I hope she now understands why it took you so long to introduce her to them.

If you have doubts when it comes to your parents meeting someone, please listen to yourself.

Some of us older folks remember being young, and remember that from a young persons perspective us older folks occupy the thin line between invisible and repulsive. Others, apparently, not so much.

The Parent's are just into swing dancing and are looking for some new people to go with....Wait I will Google this swinging thing to check that my meaning is correct.

If you know your parents are that bad, why didn't you try to introduce her to them in a controlled environment, such as a restaurant?

Probably because it would have been even more awkward in public. Best to contain the damage without the public humiliation of other people listening in, at least... For some reason, I am getting a feeling being in public wouldn't have stopped them from asking.
