Valentine's slay, Looking good and Health: Today, my fiancé's stepfather asked me how my teaching job was...

Today, my fiancé's stepfather asked me how my teaching job was going. I replied heatedly that I've never taught, and then complained bitterly to my fiancé about how his family still doesn't know me. Turns out his stepfather has early onset dementia, and that I'm an asshole. FML

Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML

Today, I let my step-father know exactly what I thought of him. After a few moments of awkward silence, he leaned towards me and quietly whispered, "Well you're adopted. Your parents never loved you." FML

Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. Turns out his dad is the asshole customer that I complain about all the time. He recognized me too and spent the entire dinner making passive-aggressive remarks about how bad of an employee I am. FML

Today, my girlfriend's dad returned home from deployment. Being the grade A fucktard that I am, I got flustered and asked, "So um, did you make it back?" He looked me dead in the eyes and said completely deadpan, "No, obviously I died. Moron." FML

Today, I overheard my wife telling my mother-in-law I was diagnosed with a learning disability earlier this week. She replied, "I always knew he was a retard. Why did you ever marry that idiot?" All my wife did was mutter "I don't know." FML

Today, it was my engagement party. All was going fabulously, until my fiancé's dad decided to give us a toast, and completely forgot my name in front of all my family and friends. I've been with his son for 7 years. FML

Seems like you don't know much about his family either so what are you so pissed about?

For all of those "Your the a-hole for talking like that" to the step-father.. it is the family's responsibility to INFORM OTHERS that the man had dementia. My grandmother had it, and yes, it is THEIR FAULT for not telling someone who is about to become a part of their family.

This story needs more context (i.e. how long they've been engaged, etc.) in order to be properly judged.

I've been with my husband for 6 years and his parents regularly forget things about him and me. I share a birthday with my brother in law. My mother in law called me last year on my birthday to tell me she forgot it was my birthday because she was so focused on it being her son's birthday, that she was having him over for dinner, didn't have enough food to invite me and my husband, and that she wouldn't go get more food. My husband got so mad at her for that. He couldn't believe his mom told me all of that. Without more information, none of us know if her reaction was over-reacting or not.

I am gonna say FYL on this one. Look plain and simple Dementia is the unusual not the usual. The expectation is that the person is fully functioning. Unless you want to start offending people you don't go around assuming that the person said something that seems off to be suffering from something like dementia. It is your fiance's job to warn you of his stepfather's condition.
