STIFU by meeting her parents (self.tifu)

Fresharla が 投稿

I really like my girlfriend, and I think she likes me but having a relationship with her may be a bit difficult from now on. We went to her house for dinner, and everything went smoothly until we were done eating. She has a litte brother who is 5-6 years old (not sure) and he seemed to like me, and we threw his little plastic ball back and forth. He started getting competitive and threw way harder than I'd expected, so as a reflex I slapped the ball mid-air so it flew, knocked over and broke this urn. The urn contained my girlfriends grandma. Without missing a beat her little brother runs out and fucking points the finger at me and said I did on purpose, and the little shit even started to cry. I tried to explain what really had happened, but they gave me the classic "We think it's best you go home now", and my girlfriend took her parents side. So here I am the day after, and she still won't return my calls or my texts. We might be done.

What is it with americans and putting their cremated relatives in easily breakable containers?

Here in the UK, you have a choice of steel, iron, brass, copper and bronze. Decorated, of course, but still metals.

Here in Aus we just leave em out for the dingoes to get em mate. Sometimes they take the odd baby but it's worth it.

    In Germany it's illegal to have an urn at your home so that's that.

        For that matter, why would you want your gran's ashes on the mantelpiece anyway?

        I know my relatives' ashes have been variously buried, or scattered at places they loved during life.

        Seriously, I'd be thoroughly creeped the fuck out if we put my grandparents' ashes in my house.

        For added creepiness, consider the fact that those aren't ashes at all, they're the ground up bones leftover from the cremation process.

        [–]dissmani 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

        Agreed, even though it took forever to figure out exactly what to do with my mother's ashes. We chose to scatter them near Cape Canaveral. But that's what happens when her request is unhelpfully unspecific and we're the sentimental type.

          I'm actually gonna call BS on this one. Urns are heavy as fuck and the ashes are in a bag inside anyway. It would take a hell of a plastic ball to knock one down.

          [–]workraken 18ポイント19ポイント  (4子コメント)

          I feel like I've heard of people that save money by just taking the ashes in a bag and dumping that in some random ornamental urn rather than the proper funeral ones. But I might be talking out my ass.

                      Why isnt this comment higher up? If she ACTUALLY thought you broke the urn on purpose, then she's taking crazy pills. And if the really isn't talking to you because of her dead grandma's ashes spilling, that should send some questionable red flags.

                      Maybe that's not it.

                      Maybe she's just really rather upset that the urn got broken? What if she was really close to her grandmother, and breaking her urn upset her?

                      Hell, i'd be horrified if my grandmother was in an urn (fortunately that hasn't happened yet) and it got broken (even if it was unintentional).

                      It's only natural for her to feel upset, and she isn't required by law to talk about it with the person who broke the urn (even if it wasn't intended). People handle grief differently.

                      I mean, for fucks sake. If she didn't get upset then "RED FLAG DUDE. SHE ISN'T EVEN UPSET WITH BREAKING SOMEBODY'S URN. BREAK UP BREAK UP. SHE HAS NO EMOTIONS PROBABLY CHEATING ON YOU RED FLAG RED FLAG."

                      Have some humanity for fucks sake.

                          I think it's actually better to have low-value breakable things around the house. When they break them, it's no big deal, but it will help them learn to be more careful around delicate objects.

                          Maybe that's the point - maybe their kid is not supposed to play ball in the house. Makes sense if he immediately started crying and blamed it on someone else - pretty clear he was doing something he knew he was not supposed to do. Everyone else is probably a little confused why someone old enough to date would not only not recognize that there was something wrong with ball in the house, but actually joined in.

                          It's kind of like if OP had found the little brother coloring on the walls with marker, and then joined it.

                            Also remind your girlfriend that we recommend storing keeping cremated remains in a more eternal location where they can be kept safe from unforseen events like accidents or theft.

                            They bought cheap funeral merchandise and stored it in an unsafe location. Not your problem.

                              Really unfortunate this happened, but if your girlfriend is that quick to side against you (when she clearly knows you wouldn't do something like that on purpose), and has no real desire to keep her parents liking you...

                              Probably time to say your piece and move on. You could send her parents a letter or something, but I would say as long as you told the girlfriend in on ways or another you've done what you needed to do.

                              It was just an accident and he wanted to make the little brother happy. It's not like he actually aimed for an urn with unknown containment. And people should stop putting their grandmothers around as a decoration because this shit might happen. Worst part, the girl took her parents' side although OP most likely had an innocent and "I swear I didn't mean it" look on his face and was explaining himself.

                              "And people should stop putting their grandmothers around as a decoration because this shit might happen."

                              This. Dead grandmas are meant for remembering who they were when alive, not for having their carbon molecules calcium salts [1] hanging out in lieu of a trophy or anything better from Hobby Lobby.

                              It's not the practice of cremation that I have a problem with. It's that when it comes to the remains of someone, keep it personal and keep it actually safe.

                              Funny story about that. I helped one of my friends move into a new house last fall. While we were putting stuff away, one of my friends found the cremated ashes of one of the previous owners relatives. It was in a cabinet that was fairly high up.

                              It all worked out though, he called the guy who owned the house last and he came and got the ashes.

                              Gotta be that guy, during cremation almost all your carbon burns off as CO2. The leftovers are often called bone ash and mostly consist of calcium salts.

                                No relationship without trust. I get that she's extremely upset, but the fact that she won't listen to you says a lot about her as well.

                                It might not be about trust or even believing the little brother. It could be just the [perceived] sacrilege of scattering the ashen form of the mother of one of the parents that has everyone at a loss for what to do.

                                That said, I don't have any suggestions on what to do about it. But I question the notion that sane adults side strictly because of a 6 year old's account of who's liable with intent. So this might not be a case of trust, so much as a loss for words.

                                It really is about believing the little brother. If they take the word of a little kid who is at the age that throwing a plastic ball around is what they consider playing (somewhere between 2 and 5), over a teenager/young adult, that speaks to some problems. I can completely understand them being upset about the urn breaking and the ashes going everywhere. Not believing that it was an accident is just childish.

                                One of the parents was a child of the deceased. I can start to see where childishness can creep into all this.

                                I'd like to add that it sounds like this was a first time meeting of the parents for OP. IMO it is understandable that they sided with their own child over a stranger in the heat of the moment. I would hope though that after they have cooled off that they would give OP a chance to explain his side of the story.

                                So he should just tell her that ashes are 90%+ other peoples' remains, wood ash and other such shit. They're lucky if they have had the ashes of what would total one of her hands, if that.

                                Way to go to fix the situation

                                Worse than blunt truth... I don't think you can fix the situation. I think you accept your part in matters here, downplay the fact that you meant well, and hope that everything else redeemable about you trumps any sense of outrage or violation.

                                After all, it's called "TIFU" for "today I fucked up", not "this is fixable, uthink?" Not that all fuck ups can't be fixed. It's just that owning the fuck up is the first step if it is. IF it is.

                                That said, telling her "your grandma really is gone, and you're just lying to yourself, so I only broke an emotional construct in your head, not your grandmother" almost certainly won't fix anything.

                                I agree with you in practice. But what's sacred to others is part of who they are. You and I seem to find the rough truth of things sacred, because there can be strength in going out of your way to make sure you're not just kidding yourself about the here and now.

                                For others, keeping a part of loved ones is sacred to them, so that they fulfill the sense of honoring that person, or just because letting go is akin to quitting for them.

                                That was part of her grandmother. Most people in that situation would filter that down to "That was her grandmother." Taking that away from the girl isn't the answer for the OP... even if you and I would find dealing with that reality palatable to going through all that effort over some carbon in container that is only vaguely attached with the choices that person made and who they were. Different strokes for all the folks.

                                For the record, I was joking. I just think it takes a lot of humor away from a dark joke by lampshading it and pointing it out, since then it's less of a quick, dry piece of dark humor and more "Haha! Look guys, I made a funny!" desperate attempt for attention.

                                Enough people seem to have thought I was serious that I may as well point it out at this point anyway.

                                Of course I wasn't really suggesting that he tell her in those words - or at all - that her grandmother's ashes were lost and re-shuffled minutes after her cremation.

                                    Yeah, while I agree that there should be trust in a relationship you have to think about it from their perspective. You've been seeing this guy for a short while now and he seems alright so you introduce him to your parents. He comes in and starts playing with the brother, all is good right? You here a shatter and walk in to see that your grandmother's urn with her ashes is shatter and she is all over the floor. Even if it was an accident it kind of shows that he may be a bit reckless and may not take into account the consequences of little actions like this. While not a huge problem now it may become one down the line and if it's just the first few weeks-month I would be reconsidering it too.

                                        With just a modicum of reason and logic, they should understand that:

                                        1. You had no idea that was an urn with ashes
                                        2. You would not have done that on purpose
                                        3. This was an intimidating situation just being there to begin with, for all parties involved

                                        If you've apologized wait it out. However, set yourself an amount of time (reasonable) that you decide to call it. A huge part of a long term relationship is how well you get along with her family. This would seem like an indicator of things to come. Consider this carefully, friend.

                                        Parents believe their young son over what one would assume is a teen/young adult. If they actually think that you would intentionally break something while a guest in their house, either a) you were a colossal douche when you met them, or b) they aren't the kind of people you want to be hanging out around.

                                          This is such movie logic though. It was an accident; the gravity of what resulted from the accident shouldn't reflect on OP.

                                          Not saying she shouldn't be upset, but she shouldn't be upset at OP; all he did was hit a ball out of the air.

If they were that strong about taking a 6 year olds word over yours and ur GF didnt believe you either i would have told them to fuck off, stormed out and deleted her from my life.

                                            Ok, so let me get this straight:

                                            Your girlfriend's family believes their six year old son that their daughter's boyfriend, who, I guess, is no younger than 16, on purpose threw a ball at grandma's urn, because what..? He..?

                                            1) Holds a grudge against her from a previous life???

                                            2) Has a fetish of destroying his girlfriends' grandmas' urns???

                                            Assuming that this isn't bollocks, which I am; I believe in "innocent until proven guilty", there are two cases:

                                            1) The above, in which case they are bloody mental

                                            2) They believe that it was an accident and won't forgive someone for being clumsy and having potato aim, in which case they are even more bloody mental

                                            The kid seems like a manipulative little shit and the parents actually believing him (who the fuck would do such a thing on purpose?) tells you everything you want to know. You don't have to break up with the chick per say, but i'd stay the fuck away from her crazy family.

                                            ... unless you're lying (on the internet!?) and accidentally broke the urn and then blamed it on the kid. In that case you're a douche and may your car be covered in permanent dickbutts.

                                            The "manipulative shit" is 5-6 years old. That's not "manipulative," that's typical children behavior.

                                            Of course they don't want to get in trouble! Can you imagine how many times that kid's been told not to throw things (probably), which is why he completely blamed OP? (Note: kids that haven't been constantly lectured about XYZ activity don't actually react with complete denial b/c they've no prior experience being told "don't do XYZ".)

                                            The problem isn't the kid being a kid; the problem is the parents and GF are apparently daft enough to really believe OP would do such a thing for the f--k of it.

                                            How can you have a 5-6 year old child and not expect the child to break things in the house. This family sound like complete morons, better off without them I say.

                                            That's when you jump in with a 'This is why I said we shouldn't play ball in the house....'

                                            What idiots leave breakable objects containing irreplaceable things in a house with a 5 year old running around in it?

                                            I follow the "child as loaded gun" philosophy of parenthood. If you follow the rules, treat the gun with respect and caution, and expect they can go off at any second you might avoid injury.

                                            The parents have some urn hanging out around the house where it's at risk of being broken every single day by a 5 year old. I'd honestly tell your gf to kick rocks if she's not going to talk to you over that accident. No, today you found out how your gf and her parents really are. Today was not a fuck up.

                                            If your girlfriends parents are taking the word of a 6 year old over you, I'm assuming you're likely at least a teenager (even if it is their child and they may feel obliged to support him) then they need to re-evaluate their naivety.

                                            If you're girlfriend is taking her parents side, she is either scared of conflicting with them or not committed enough to want to, in which case she's not worth your time if she didn't at least try to defend you.

                                            No matter what happens you shouldn't bend to them, it was an accident and nothing more which I'm sure you apologised for. Don't take the fall just to get her back or fold to win her parents approval.

                                            If they insist on holding out on this ridiculous 6 year old-written fantasy about your malicious destruction of their already well-toasted grandma simply forget about it and find a girl who doesn't have ridiculous stupid parents.

                                            Whats the big deal anyway? Grandma didn't complain about it...

                                            Fuck those people. If that kid is going to throw you completely under the bus for this, imagine what type of shit you're going to deal with when he's actually involved in your life.

                                            The parents are at fault because they placed the urn somewhere its possible/likely for it to get knocked over. Its understandable that they would be disappointed, but life is too short to not find the humor in this happening.

                                            And then your girlfriend is just like them.

IMO this relationship could never last with her responding the way she did. Even if she does get back to you and try to make up, I think you should really think about if you should keep going.

                                            My guess is that she's acting upset because she was in shock. If you give it time she might come around. Just be there for her and know that it wasn't your fault. If she doesn't forgive you in time (time is key that was her fucking meemaw) then she's being irrational, cuz believing a five year old over anyone is kinda ridiculous.

                                            Pffff, buddy - let me share a story with you:

                                            When my girlfriend and I were first together, I went over to her house for New Year's Eve. We were going to go to a party at one of her friends house. Except, apparently, her entire fucking extended family had been there for lunch that day and were taking there sweet ass time leaving. Her parents just said "Hey everyone, it's almost dinner time now, why don't you all stay for dinner?".

                                            So yeah, dinner with her extended family the first time meeting her parents. BUT, it gets better, just you wait!

                                            I'm allergic to black pepper, not severely, but enough that if I eat a lot of it it makes me sick. I hadn't told anyone because I didn't want them to make me anything special I just figured I'd have a little bit and it would all be okay. Nope! Someone handed me a plate with a shit tonne of this chicken pasta stuff absolutely covered in pepper. I didn't want to seem like an ungrateful punk, so I sucked it up and ate it.

                                            We then head down to the basement and have a beer or two before we head out. As we're getting ready to leave I get this sickly pain in my stomach - and make an instant dash for the washroom. Was half a second too slow and despite my impeccable aim, there just wasn't enough projection behind my puke. Some of it made it there, some of it didn't. It was nasty.

                                            And so, of course, her ENTIRE family thought I couldn't handle the two beers I drank, at 20 years old... I looked like a fool. I've since explained myself, but yeah, the damage was done...

                                            We've since been together for 2.5 years :) ...her family doesn't make me food with pepper on it anymore...

                                            It was obviously an accident, if she dumps you over this then screw her.

                                            It was an accident and you apologized. There's nothing more you can do. If she's gonna make a big deal about something like this, just think what she'll be like in the future. I'm not saying give up on her or the relationship, I'm just pointing out that this is kind of a red flag.

                                            Honestly your better off without her. A family that is so immature won´t be fun to deal with for the rest of your live.

                                            Might be time to consider becoming an adult and stop slapping shit out of the air as hard as you can in other people's homes.
