Today, I took my girlfriend to meet my parents. My dad thought it'd be hilarious to act surprised and ask me if I'd already dumped the girlfriend I introduced him to yesterday. She slapped me and stormed out of the house before my dad could tell her it was a joke. 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, I took my girlfriend home to meet my parents. They thought it'd be hilarious to put on ridiculous accents and act like country hicks, spewing obscenities and strongly hinting that we're into incest. She soon left in disgust. I haven't heard back from her since. 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 joked with my dad, saying I'd gotten my boyfriend pregnant. In response, he slapped me, threw my phone across the room, smashed my laptop, and then took a moment for what I'd said to sink in. FML

Today, I brought my girlfriend home to introduce to my parents. My dad thought it would be hilarious to fill some clear bags full of flour, then pretend he was sampling a cocaine shipment when she arrived. She excused herself very quickly and isn't answering my calls. FML

Today, my boyfriend met my parents. Within minutes, my dad managed to verbally sever his balls and reduce him to tears, "just for fun" apparently. FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's parents. Her father looked me up and down, said, “No” then went back to his TV. My girlfriend immediately broke up with me and threw me out. I even had to get a really expensive taxi home, because we’d driven in her car and I had no idea what part of the city I was in. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend home to meet my parents. My dad was having a bad day and was rude from the outset, but things went to total hell when he started screaming that he'd "kill" our microwave if it didn't "shut the hell up". My girlfriend now thinks we're a family of abusive psychos. FML

Today, my girlfriend told me she wanted get to know my mom, so they went off and had a chat. After an hour, I noticed my girlfriend was gone and my mom was waiting for me. Apparently I've been dumped through my mother. FML

I'm sure everything will be ok if your dad explains to her that it was just a joke. Then you can hopefully laugh about it.

Your girl needs a sense of humour..

What's your proof that she doesn't have a sense of humor? Because she didn't realize it was a joke? Lots of people fall for a joke.

I have to admit, that is actually pretty hilarious. Sorry about having that happen to you OP, but she should let it go if your dad explains that it was a joke. It should all just blow over and become something to laugh about

If I were the GF in this situation I would honestly assume his comment was a joke, and laugh. FHL for not having a sense of humor.

exactly, this is actually a really common joke for people to use when first meeting someone's partner. i never take it seriously, i usually go along with it and add to it.

With cheating being so prevalent, I can't say I'd have reacted any better; unless I knew beforehand that their dad was a jokester.

I don't know how this proves she doesn't have a sense of humor

I feel like it probably depends on what OP's father's tone of voice was, because f it were a serious/surprised tone, and OP hadn't mentioned his father being a joker, then it'd be hard not to instantly react like that. If it were me, once I realised it was a joke is feel terrible.

If her self esteem is shot and so is her features, she probably think he's cheating already and OPs dad probably just ****** her up completely. Still not a reason to put her hands on him. Folk don't realize that there is a law staying that the "Aggressor may not claim self defense". That means that if you attack someone they can legally **** you up. Male or Female, that's right ladies, keep your hands off ya man or he can whip yo ass!
