First time I met them, her two brothers and her father were discussing hunting and how big their guns were (seriously). They asked me if I had one, and I replied “no, men in my family have penises.”

Wow, douche bag city.

I’m glad you met someone who saw you, I know from experience that’s super important.

Thankfully my husband has never done anything super embarrassing, but here’s a fun story about an ex boyfriend.

Aw thank you! He’s pretty much the best.

I’m the embarrassing dude in this one. Met my lovely gf’s lovely parents for the first time at a nice little dinner in NYC. At the time, I was working for a company that manages 401k’s, and my gf’s parents, both doctors, mentioned they had theirs with my company.

Yup! The best part was that I stuck it out as best I could, then he cheated on me with his ex, kept sending her longing text messages to her while apartment hunting with me, and then abruptly breaking up with me and throwing me out of his apartment (where I was living until we could move into ours) on New Year’s…

This is more of the “what my parents did to embarrass my boyfriend” genre.First I have to set the stage; I’m Italian. In my household, dinner time is when you discuss everything and you are expected to take a stand, yea or nay and argue your point. Pretty much nothing is sacred. My husband’s family, on the other…

This is the best. Congrats on the keeper.

My ex is an alcoholic (unbeknownst to me AT THE TIME), and we visited my family for Thanksgiving and my mom’s house is pretty dry. My ex literally spent 4 days sleeping on the couch because he was going through some sort of detox. He played it off as being “sick”. He would have sleep terrors, which included sleep…

Hands down my favorite story!

Once my dad was asking why you needed certain qualifications for my husband’s job. We’d been married about 3 days at that point. We eloped and this was the first time my parents had seen us since the wedding. My husband was trying to explain when he said “Ok, but, this is life or death sort of stuff. You don’t want a…

My PhD candidate boyfriend was invited to dinner. My mother asked him for the Worcestershire sauce. He sprinkled a few drops on her outstretched hand and she burst into tears.

Upon first meeting, my BF asked in a stage whisper, about my father - in FRONT of my father - who had recently had eye surgery “Does he know there is only one lens in his sunglasses?”

Meeting my (fairly conservative) parents for the first time, my now-wife was having a conversation at the dinner table with my mother and grandmother in front of my sister, my nieces and the rest of the family.

English is not my wife’s native language, and it turns out that expletives/slang-curses are something that…

My ex stole my mom’s credit card number and sold it on Ebay. He also tried to get my grandparent’s tax information for some kind of fraud thingy. And he stole $6000 out of my 401K. So.....that was a good time.

My husband is a notorious cheapskate. When he met my family for the first time, he was talking about how he recently splurged on a pair of very nice shoes, but instead of saying that, he told my dad that he “splooged” on them. After cracking up, my dad just responded, “You must have really liked those shoes.”

My husband has a congenital heart issue that can cause him to go into atrial fib (irregular heart beat) — a condition usually reserved for much older people. About 6 years ago, he underwent a procedure that fixed the issue and of course, his parents and I did the waiting room thing. They put him under, installed a…

My (now ex) boyfriend once ordered a pizza to be delivered at a family party. Homemade food was already provided, but he “didn’t want any of that stuff”. It was a Dominos pizza. He ate it while watching Ferris Bueller’s Day Off...which he also put on in the middle of the party.

Okay so this one has a little different tone but...
