My boyfriend\u2019s parents came over for the first time. Everything was perfect\u2014until his mom went to the bathroom.<\/p>\n
Fifteen minutes passed. She was still there. Twenty minutes later, my boyfriend checked on her.<\/p>\n
When she finally came out, her mood had shifted. She grabbed her bag, and they quickly left. My boyfriend yelled, \u201cYou could\u2019ve warned me!\u201d<\/p>\n
I went\u2014or more accurately, I rushed over\u2014to see what was going on and suddenly froze when I saw my bathroom in total chaos. The entire floor was covered in napkins, and the smell was unbearable.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when I remembered that my boyfriend\u2019s mother had a severe gluten allergy. I had completely forgotten and had served her a homemade cake that wasn\u2019t gluten-free. They had assumed I would remember her allergy and be careful, and my boyfriend was furious that I had forgotten.<\/p>\n
But to be fair, he had only mentioned it once\u2014although he swears it was more than that. Now, I have no idea how to make it up to her, and I\u2019m afraid we\u2019ll never get past this incredibly awkward situation.<\/p>\n
