Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. Apparently, he spoke with my mom and the fact that she wants me dead is a huge red flag. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML

Awkward small talk

Today, I went to my boyfriend's house, intending to break up with him. Instead, I was greeted by his whole family throwing me a surprise party. I had to sit and listen to his whole family talk about what a great couple we are and how we're going to last forever. FML

Crossed purposes

By knee2tak - 14/03/2009 09:46 - United States

Today, I told my boyfriend, "We need to talk." He said, "I know". So we met after school, and he said he was OK with me breaking up with him, that he wasn't that into me either. He said all that before I could tell him that my parents wanted to meet him. FML

Ever stop to think that maybe the OP's bf was talkin to his mom about how to break up with her in the least hurtful way? Most guys dnt have close female friends that they open up to so they ask their mother

Sometimes you don't know someone is in earshot. Like if they just get home and you don't hear them come in over the sound of the dishwasher. That's just one example.

Sounds like a mumma's boy. Imagine if you got married to him.. He wouldn't be able to make his own mind up about anything and you'd come in second best.. You dodged a bullet there OP.

#88 Nowhere in the FML did it say that it was his mom's idea to break up with OP. Chances are he just didn't know how to go about doing it. I'll be 21 in a few months and I still ask my mom how I should phrase things to people, so I can be as polite as possible.
