Today, my fiancé won't tell people we're engaged because his mother doesn't approve, and he doesn't want to upset her. FML
Today, I'm 5 months pregnant. My 20-year-old boyfriend still refuses to tell his parents because he thinks he'll get in trouble. He thinks we can get away with "never telling them and just hiding the kid." FML
Today, I realized that my boyfriend is still scared of his ex. It's been 8 months and our relationship is still "secret." Why? Because he's scared that she will find out and tell his family about us. FML
Today, I overheard my mom talking on the phone with my sister about how much they hate my fiancé. My wedding is in two weeks and my family has been pretending to like my future husband for three years. FML
Today, my fiance told me he thought it was time that we started to see other people. I'm six months pregnant with his baby. FML
Today, my father told all of us that he eloped with his girlfriend of two months. I'm engaged to the woman's daughter, and have been engaged since before they met, but now my family is making fun of me for marrying my "sister". FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of 6 years. She said no. Why? She's already married. FML
Today, a week after my fiancé and I got engaged, his mother is already complaining that she isn't involved enough in the wedding arrangements. We haven't even set a date yet. FML
Today, my sister, who has been seeing a guy for a year, got engaged. I've been dating my boyfriend for over 5 years and let out some not so subtle hints and he basically refused to propose. This is her second marriage in the time of my relationship. FML
Today, my daughter is engaged to her soon-to-be fifth husband. She's 32 and refuses to believe she's the problem in relationships, and she wants me to pay for this wedding. FML

How can they not know about your daughter?

There's only two explanations, her parents are super religious and strict or they're Scientologists, I'd go with the latter.

I'm sure they already know via the grapevine.

There's a chance they don't live close by and have none of the same acquaintances. I'm pretty sure it would have come up had they known!

^Exactly! I'm 4,000 miles away from my parents for a reason. They don't find out something unless it comes from me. I really do think we are missing important information regarding this FML post, however.

Maybe she's just REALLY fat, so it didn't show :p

How would you hide a small child? Have you seen a small child? They are not easily concealable. And they bite.

Fact: Some people do not live in the same state/country/province/locale as their parents.

@ #43 No way! I don't believe you

I'm thinking she is ashamed of you OP . That really sucks. Are you sure you want to marry someone who is ashamed of you?

63-Do you know what sarcasm is?
DyslexicPanda 12
Does that mean you've tried, 34?
SillyGirl4602 23
63: 52 was being sarcastic. "Are to you freaking stupid?" Really? You really should not call people stupid.

That's BS. There's a good chance that OP's fiance just has a really bad relationship with her parents, to the poiint where she no longer talks to them about anything. So she's not going to call them out of the blue to tell them that she's pregnant or getting married.

What if they are lesbian and she doesn't want to come out to them? They are having "a" daughter, not "my" or "our". She could be in vitro or adopted. I doubt this theory myself, but I'm just putting out another possibility.

You are trying to read way too much into this.
CheeseHater 23
I don't see the difference. The way I see it there's only one option: The parents are batshit crazy, doesn't matter which branch of crazy, that's what they are.
silverstream20 20
This may sound harsh but it seems to me he might be embarrassed to tel them about you. If this is the case I recommend you call off the marriage as it will cause major problems for you and your future in laws.

SHE refuses to tell HER parents. Reading comprehension fail.
silverstream20 20
Whoops it seems I was wrong my apologies.
CanyonRose 16
Kudos for apologizing
wizzbee 13
Call off the wedding/dump her is the 99% answer to any relationship related fml. They have a child together. Think inside the box people!
nooshGol 15
She either doesn't like you very much, or she doesn't like her parents very much. For your sake, I hope it is the latter. Sorry OP.
crazytwinsmom 25
Maybe her parents are prejudiced about something that would not be apparent in your daughter. That doesn't excuse her but might explain. But still, she needs to get things out in the open soon. Good luck!

I doubt it has anything to do with the parents. Maybe he's already married and he's afraid they'll spill the beans.
EMTchic 14
Fiancé = male Fiancée = female So that would be "she" not "he"
crazytwinsmom 25
'her parents'

Well know you now.

Maybe there's some problems going on between your fiancée and her parents. Have your tried asking why she won't introduce you to them? She may give you and excuse or a proper explanation. If she gives you an excuse, she's definitely not a keeper.

Are you the wrong race or religion for her parents? Maybe she's told her parents that she's a lesbian and you'd spoil that ruse.
