Today, my boyfriend went to work instead of going to my father's funeral. He works at home and chooses his own hours. FML

That's horrible of him. I'm not saying you should dump him, but this is one case where you should consider it.

or maybe he has a hard time dealing with his emotions in situations like that. could be a million reasons why he didn't go buy you'll never know until you talk with him OP.

Not enough info to say FYL or YDI. If you've been together for several months or more, he's a jackass. If you've only been dating for a few weeks, honestly I probably wouldn't feel right going if it were me. The work excuse was lame tho.

personally, I won't go to a funeral period. I think it's morbid to sit and stare at a dead body and mourn their death. where I'm from, we celebrate their life. The family and friends that knew the dad and/or were close to him are going to be the ones that want to join in the group cry-fest. The significant other can comfort afterwards.

There is much more information needed here. Did he have a lot of work that needed to be done the next day? Was it feasible for him to go to the funeral and then go home and do his work? The last funeral I went to it took over 6 hours from leaving the house to getting back in. And I still went to work in the morning for an hour to do the money, something which needs to be done every day. (I also choose my own hours). I ended up being their 20 minutes longer because a situation arose. If it took me 2 hours to fix it rather than 20 minutes I would have missed the funeral and the cemetery part, and only arrived for the wake. Sometimes you have no choice but to work when you have to.
