Today, I went to my boyfriend's mom's house for the first time. They had a cook-out so I got to meet his whole entire family. I went into the kitchen to find a huge picture of his ex-girlfriend on his mom's fridge. FML

Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mom stared at me throughout dinner before finally blurting out, "I'm sorry, I can't get past the fact that you look just like his ex!" It turns out I do. FML

Today, my boyfriend invited me over for dinner for the first time. The place was full of his ex's stuff, books on the shelves, makeup in the bathroom, clothes in the closet and even shoes on the floor. Not to mention creepy plush toys staring at me. She left him 8 years ago. FML

Today, my boyfriend's mother hung a picture of him and his ex-girlfriend up. We've been together for 3 years now. Guess she really does hate me. FML

So your boyfriends mom liked his previous girlfriend, she hadn't met you yet. Just be cool and soon you'll be hanging there :)

Try not to let it bother you, and don't say anything about it. Hopefully they'll like you enough eventually to replace her picture with yours. If it's still there months from now though, you'll probably have to "accidentally" tear it off. haha

What a lovely welcoming. Did your boyfriend know the photograph was there? If so, he's a jerk who's still "pining" for his ex-girlfriend. If not, subtly tell him about it, or point it out and ask him to take it down.

Um, how is it the girlfriend's right to tell the mother who she can care about. I take it the fridge is most likely covered in photos. The ex was part of the life before the GF and she is never going to replace the ex, because she shouldn't have to. If the Op is so worried about a picture, then she needs to live in a box cause there will always be people who actually keep civil relationships with people they slept with. It is not her right to ask it to be removed.
