Today, I was drunk at my nan's birthday party. My boyfriend texted me asking if I could go out, to which I replied "No, I'm at my nan's house." He then dumped me, calling me a 'cheating whore.' I was confused, until I realised I'd misspelt nan and said "No, I'm at my man's house." FML

Hahaha. Just tell him what you meant to say. It was just a text. Mistakes happen.

I've never even heard the term "nan" used for that before. I think we now know why. I'll stick to calling her "grandma" like everyone else. In the US at least.

In uk and some other european countries we often call out grandmothers for nan or granny.

Have you talked to your boyfriend? I'm sure he'd understand if you explained to him (if you haven't already).

I see no big deal about getting drunk at a family function, but my family is from Russia. I think I've heard similar things about Irish families. It depends on your culture I guess. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to get plastered. It can actually be quite a fun way to bond.

It's the author, me and the boyfriend are now split up. He overeactted to much anyway, right? I was right in telling him he shudnt overeact, wasn't I? Plus dumping me through text... man... As for drinking @ Family functions, it's fairly normal here in England. We do it all the time, if there's an occasion. If it's an actual party or something, not just a cup of tea on Sunday. Nans more common than Grandma in the UK. I am also 1/4 irish, if that helps you. Basically im single now. Wish I was still drunk.

You shouldn't be texting. Texting is for lazy ***** and any misspellings are rightfully deserved. Oh... I forgot that texters can't spell anyway.

No you didn't deserve that. True love would excuse a typo. And yes he overreacted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcidD2HFK8M Text message breakup is lame. but seriously.... i hope you find a better guy who's not such a jerk!

t9 can do that to you.. if you use t9.. and if you use abc.. start using t9. its a lot faster
