Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Happy oddly specific day to you!
Today, it's National Girlfriends Day. My boyfriend stood me up, blamed it on his mom, and then decided he was going to go hang out with his friends. FML

Today, the guy I broke up with for not putting any effort into the relationship asked if he could make it up to me by taking me out to lunch. He stood me up. FML

Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML

Today, I was going to break up with my boyfriend for taking me for granted and being such a jerk. He didn't even show up for our date. FML

Today, my boyfriend was seated in my section at work. As he sees me his face drops... he's on a date. He had forgotten I work there. I had to serve him and his date, and they didn't leave a tip. FML

Today, my boyfriend called me over for dinner. When I walked in the door, he asked why I was here; apparently he dialed the wrong girlfriend. FML

Dating is hell
Today, I got stood up on a date. To add insult to injury, meeting up was her idea. FML

Today, I accidentally said "Yes Daddy” to my boyfriend while at dinner with his parents. They threw me out. My boyfriend did nothing to defend me. FML

Today, my parents met my boyfriend for the first time. They spent the entire meal trying to convince him to dump me, all while I was sitting right next to him. FML

Use the embarrassing stories that they told you about him as payback

Wow. Just... Wow. Well, on the bright side, you weren't completely alone. He better have a damn good reason as to why he wasn't able to make it. Sorry, OP.

You mean "ex-boyfriend," right?

And there it is.

Being stood up doesn't mean you break up with the person. That's a bit extreme.

Only extreme if it's the first time it's happened. However, I doubt this was the first time that it had happened, or OP would have said something about an accident or such that kept him.

Thankfully I'm not as tolerant of disrespect as you are.

Meaning what, exactly?

15 - You're one of those people who takes every little slight thing as "disrespect" and flips out, aren't you.

Hopefully, they weren't helicopter parents. Boyfriend's mom, glancing at her husband with a sly smile: "Well, I think the three of us can still salvage the evening!" Boyfriend's dad: "Oh… yes. How'd you feel about coming back to our place, watching a little NetFlix, and just seeing where the night takes us?"

I don't think that's what a helicopter parent is. That sounds more like a bad "dad joke"
Tripartita 45
I was joking that OP's parents weren't helicopter parents who didn't stop at simply overseeing their child's life—taking it further by intervening when they realized one of their son's dates was going awry and trying to complete it themselves.

That's not what that phrase means.
Tripartita 45
Helicopter parent: n. a parent who takes an overprotective or excessive interest in the life of their child or children. I was joking about them taking it one step further and actually intervening in their child's life. But, by all means, ignore this post like the one before it.

That's extremely rude

Perhaps they could recommend a brother or a nephew who would be a better boyfriend.

This needs a follow up...

Well at least you and his parents had something, I mean... someone to talk about... If this happened to me, I'd die and then kick his ass. Lol

Is it because you use sentance fragments?
