Today, after having recently moved 300 miles to be with my boyfriend of 2 years, I have to celebrate Christmas alone. He never thought our relationship important enough to tell his family about me, and doesn't want it to be "awkward." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend decided that he needed some time alone for a few weeks. This break just so happens to include our one year anniversary, Christmas, New Year's, and my birthday. Now I get to spend the next three weeks alone. FML
Today, I got a phone call from my boyfriend breaking things off with me. He waited until the day after Christmas because he wanted all his presents. And he got me nothing. FML
Today, I sit isolated from my family with presents I cannot give. Though I respect my brother's religious beliefs and life ideals, he chooses to hate mine. He has gone out of his way to refuse patching up our relationship and now my parents who are at his house are not answering their phone. "Merry X-mas…" FML
Today, my fiancé broke it off with me on our 3-year anniversary at 12:01 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning. Guess who gets to go to family gatherings where everyone will be asking where he is. FML
Today, I sat for 3 hours at my boyfriend's Christmas celebrations. He has 22 cousins. They open presents one at a time. In silence. I got nothing. FML
Today, it's 49 days until Christmas, and all I can think of is how it’s mine and my partner's first Christmas together but she’ll be out of town. Apparently, she’d rather hang out with her whackjob family rather than my normal, stable family. FML
Today, I realized this holiday season is the first time in 4 years that I won't have a partner to share the holidays with. My partner of 4 years cheated on me this summer. I'm still bitter and dating is unnecessarily difficult. I wish I could just be happy alone and never feel lonely again. FML
Today, I spent Thanksgiving alone. I'm not close to my family, I'm the black sheep but my sister said she would come over. To my surprise, she ended up going to my family's', where I'm not wanted. My boyfriend went to his family's, so I spent the whole day alone. He'd even took my dog. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to give me my Christmas present early because he's going to his grandparents' house for Christmas and won't see me. I was excited, until I unwrapped a sweater that I left there a month ago. FML
Today, my mum told me she would rather spend Christmas with her boyfriend than with her own family. FML

Well then it shouldn't be too awkward for his family when you dump him.

By "family" you mean wife?

What the hell. I'd just introduce myself if I were you. Either that or dump him.

It must have been been pretty "awkward" when you broke up with him after that

Get your things and leave without any notice, OP. If he bothers to ask, just say you didn't, of course, want things to be "awkward." Don't get your hopes up abut him actually caring. From the little bit that is revealed by this FML, the effort put into relationship has been done by you, and possibly blindly. Try meeting the family first before making such a life changing commitment as a 300 mile drive. They're better out there for you and you'll find them. All aside FYL OP, and try to have a Merry Christmas - the bright side to this is hopefully realizing you're worth more than this, and by next season you could prove it. :)

I don't think I could be with a guy for more than a few months without at least talking to his family at some point. If this person is a part of your life, you need to know the other people in their life.

Especially before uprooting yourself and moving 300 miles to be with someone... Two years and they have no idea she exists... SMH. He is still an ass for letting her make that move though. :(

He isn't a real man to tell his parents.

It will get worse from here on. I would suggest that he is not important enough to spend another minute with ... Go back home.
