Today, my boyfriend of 2 months got upset and frustrated with me because he had yet to meet my mom. I'd told him on our first date that she passed away 4 years ago. FML

He sounds like he is very attentive!

Hopefully he manages to get that detail to stick soon. -_-

This is a grave error on your BF's part. I suggest burying him and the relationship 6 feet under before it begins to decompose worse. A funeral for this dead end corpse of a relationship seems like the kindest thing. Put him to sleep, send him to a farm in the country where he can run free, turn off his relational life support and piss on the relational grave!! You deserve better OP!

Just bring your boyfriend (if he is still your boyfriend) to your mom's resting place/grave. Hopefully, that will shut him up--and in a sick way, he will get to meet Mom.

I'm not sure you can really blame him. Every guy I know forgets basically every bit of information that's given to them that they won't be tested on for a grade, no matter how personally important it is, though I don't know how long ago your first date is. I say just explain it to him until he remembers and, as suggested, take him to visit the grave. That ought to give a lasting impression.

That's such bullshit. Guys are more than capable of remembering things that they won't get tested on. If a guy can remember the name of his favourite **** site, sports team, beer, and how to play his favourite video game then he sure as hell can remember an important detail like the fact that his girlfriend's mother passed away. He can absolutely be blamed and if a guy ever tried that "sorry baby, but you can't possibly expect me to remember things you tell me, no matter how important they are, because I only remember things if I'm being graded on them" then you can be sure I would send him packing. Then again, you are speaking about guys you know. In which case you need to get some guy friends who have a slightly larger memory capacity than a goldfish.

Perhaps you should try dating a better caliber of guys. They are out there and they are plentiful.

It definitely doesn't reflect too well on him that he forgot a recent death in your close family, but he did it out wanting to meet them, and a boyfriend anxious to meet your family is a pretty good thing, to be honest.

He came meet your Mom take him to her grave site.

If he wants to meet her so bad, just dig her up!

He is anxious to meet your parents after only 2 months? Hmm... Whereas that is flattering, it's also a red flag warning that he might be insecure and looking for bonds that have yet to (really) be established. Besides the fact that you've explain your mother is deceased. Many people forget the details of a first date. (We are more concerned with making a good impression and listen but often don't absorb.) Slow things down a bit. He'll loosen up and gain confidence. And he'll most likely recall the details of your life. Good luck. Hopefully you're into someone awesome!

Wowwww dump his inattentive whiney ass. Find someone who actually listens

This world be sad if it were real. But its the same post worded slightly as another post a few days ago about both parents being dead. As someone with a deceased motherand and a jerk exboyfriend who forgot on the anniversary of her death this pretty much sucks to see somebody else getting pitty for

The biggest question here is how he reacted after you reminded him. A close second, is how did his frustration even come up? Two months of dating isn't usually past the point of meeting the parents. I'm kinda clingy, and I waited 6 months.
