Love, Weird and Mother in law: Dodged a landmine

Dodged a landmine

Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his mom, but she decided I was “unsuitable.” I hoped he’d be on my side. Nope, he just accepted her word as law, broke up with me, and pushed me outside. He'd driven me there, so I had to find a bus in a city I’ve never been to, in the dark, without a coat. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. How? He invited my mother to his house for coffee with his parents, and told her. She then had to come home and tell me I’d been dumped. FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's parents. Her father looked me up and down, said, “No” then went back to his TV. My girlfriend immediately broke up with me and threw me out. I even had to get a really expensive taxi home, because we’d driven in her car and I had no idea what part of the city I was in. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because he wasn't feeling our two-month relationship was up to par with his parents' 30-year marriage, and, furthermore, I wasn't similar enough to his mother. FML

Today, my boyfriend met my parents, siblings, and some other family members. Thirty minutes later, he broke up with me and stormed out, yelling no way was he staying with me because they’re all fucking psychotic. He's my second boyfriend driven away by my family. FML

Today, my parents met my boyfriend, and to say it went badly is an understatement. My mom went outside to relax by chain smoking and the shouting, and the screaming only ended when my dad took my boyfriend by the scruff of the neck and threw him out the front door into the street. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me in my front yard. As I stormed off in my dramatic exit, I realized I had locked myself outside. I had to ask my now ex-boyfriend to borrow his phone so I could call my mom. FML

Today, my boyfriend has never gotten along with my dad, but this afternoon during what I thought was a completely normal conversation, he just stood up, yelled he couldn’t take my dad anymore, punched him in the nose, dumped me, and drove away. FML

Red flag

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

It was pretty bad, but not as bad as it would Have gotten… she would have been the wedge in your relationship because he has already proven that he would only taken her side.

He just saved you years of fighting with your mother in law over how to raise your kids.

Mommy sure didn't raise a gentleman... What mother would be OK with her son putting a girl in danger like that? She must be toxic as **** because she raised a piece of shit.

What the actual hell?! Okay, you dodged a serious bullet. He takes the term Mama's Boy to a whole new level. And he didn't even have the stones to drive you home? How old are you? If you're a minor, and his mother refused to let him drive you home, there could be some sort of child endangerment charge in there. If you're an adult, well, I guess you're SOL legally speaking, but it's even more clear that you dodged a bullet if a grown, adult man is letting his mother dictate him like that.
