Love: Today, while meeting my girlfriend's parents for the first time,...

Today, while meeting my girlfriend's parents for the first time, her dad made a big show of cleaning his rifle, before loading it, taking aim, and blowing the hell out of a hornet's nest at the back of the yard. I fear for my life. FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's parents. Her dad showed me his gun collection, and said the first rule of gun safety is never to point a gun at something you don't intend to kill. All while waving a handgun in my direction and glaring at me with barely suppressed rage. FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's father for the first time. The first thing he did was show me a bullet, then he basically said that if I don't submit to his daughter's every whim, that bullet will end my life. FML

Today, my first time meeting my girlfriend's dad ended with him chasing me from his house and trying to hit me with a baseball bat. FML

Today, I tested out my new paintball gun by firing a few rounds into some thick bushes. Nothing could've prepared me for the angry swarm of hornets whose nest I'd apparently shot. I'm in so much pain. FML

Today, my girlfriend dragged me along to one of her family's paintball matches. Her father is a former marine, and hates my guts. He kept going well out of his way to hunt me down and pump as many rounds into me as possible without causing a scene. FML

Today, while I was pulling weeds, my dad thought it would be absolutely hilarious to yell "Hey, son!" then unload his gun at me when I turned around. After I'd screamed like a bitch and pissed myself, he broke down into hysterical laughter and said he'd loaded the gun with blanks. Fuck you, dad. FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's dad for the first time. His shirt said "D.A.D.D, Dads Against Daughters Dating, shoot the first one and word will spread". FML

Today, my girlfriend met my parents for the first time. The first thing my mom said to my girlfriend was, "Honey, are you ok? You look like you got hives." FML

Today, I met my girlfriend’s parents for the first time. Her dad killed and skinned a goat in front of me, while staring at me the whole time. FML

Today, I brought my girlfriend home for the first time. I was really excited to introduce her to my parents, until we found my mother waving around a wooden sword, and my father trying to shove my sister into the dryer. FML

You should fear for your life only if you use your stinger on his daughter. Or if you wear a yellow jacket. That wouldn't be wise.

That's when you tell him what guns you have and offer to go shooting with him sometime

Perhaps simply a test of your testicular fortitude.

Why would he clean it before firing it? Now he just has to clean it again.

Treat her with respect and be a gentleman and you don't have to worry about anything.

Whenever I read an FML like this, I always think of how embarrassing it must be to have a father who acts that way.

Whenever I read a reply like this, I always thing of how embarrassing it must be to have parents that don't care about their kids.

What's that supposed to mean? I know my dad cares about me, but he doesn't go around threatening the guys I date. He'd warn me privately if I was with someone he thought was bad news, but he wouldn't threaten them with violence. In my family, SOs are innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around, but we all know we care about each other. He also realizes I'm not some fragile little flower who has to be protected from life itself. If either of my parents threatened my SO with violence, I'd be so embarrassed I'd think twice before introducing another one to them.

Not just America. My wife's father was a wee bit more subtle, he just had his sniping trophies (mostly gold, a few silver) discretely on display. I got the message. Still, it didn't hurt our relationship in the least, and we got married, so don't stress it OP. As long as you keep her happy you'll be fine ;).
