Today, I planned on introducing my fiancé to my parents. After the introductions, and telling him how I hoped our relationship would have the same amount of love and commitment that has lasted my mother and father for 25 years, my parents awkwardly announced their imminent divorce. FML

Feelings
Today, my parents told me, after 30 years of marriage, that they are getting a divorce. I went to my boyfriend's apartment because I needed some comfort. While sobbing to him, he decided to dump me on the spot because my reaction to the news was "immature" and he wants an "adult" relationship. FML

I'm sure it wasn't really your fault. They probably already were struggling and all it took was a little something too much. It could have been anything.

You are not the cause. They are two adults responsible for their own actions and no one should tell you otherwise.

Trust me... No you didn't. They were ready to separate.

Hey OP, just a word of advice. You cannot end a functional relationship. If anyone is the 'reason' for ending a relationship, it just goes to prove that the relationship was dysfunctional and there was no trust or true love involved, otherwise they would have stayed together. If your parents said it was your fault, they're just trying to find a scapegoat to make themselves feel better. If you think it's your fault, it's not. But look at the bright side, maybe you'll get twice the presents during special occasions, and your parents might try to one-up each other in the gift giving department. Either way, I'm sure you will be glad to not listen to them argue.

OP, whatever your parents told you was a lie. They're both using you as a scapegoat because it's easier than admitting that they're the ones at fault.
