Today, I found out the reason my boyfriend dumped me was because his parents don't like the fact that I go to a prestigious university. However, they're completely accepting of the drunken slob who's dating their daughter. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. After she left, they told me they disapprove of her because of her supposedly lower social class. Now I have to either dump her or lose the money they set aside to pay for my university tuition. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said he needed to be with someone smart so that he could impress his parents. I just got accepted into medical school. When I pointed that out to him, he added that he needed to be with someone attractive. 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, 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, I went with my girlfriend to her parents' house. They told me I smelled of cheap vodka. When I told them I worked in a bio lab and used ethanol a lot, they said I was too stupid to do anything like that. My girlfriend broke up with me because her parents think I'm a drunk. FML
Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents. Later on, his mom pulls me aside and tells me to back off, saying he will never marry someone like me and he should be with a nice girl like his ex. They broke up after he found her in his bed with his roomate. FML
Today, my crazily elitist parents were so desperate to get me to dump my fiancé that they threatened to divorce if I didn't. When I told them to go ahead, they bitched me out for being disrespectful. FML
Today, I met my new boyfriend’s parents, hoping that they would like me. They made subtle, mean comments during dinner and made me feel like total crap, all because my boyfriend left his ex-wife for me. They don’t get that we’re both good and compatible for each other, and that’s what matters. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me after his wife found out about us. FML

although you go to a prestigious school, your the idiot that decided go date the drunken slob. FYI - his parents aren't the reason for him dumping you. he's lying to you!

#82 She's not dating the "drunken slob", OP's ex-boyfriend's sister is.

they were probably more uncomfortable with your difference in socio- economic status. I've had a similar experience. he didn't dump me though. he dragged me down with his disgusting family. you win!

while you're at that prestigious university, take an English course and learn how to compose and proofread basic sentences. unless you ARE ******* your brother...

There is nothing about this FML that makes it seem like she was screwing her brother. It makes perfect sense as long as you have reading comprehension skills.

YDI for dating an Irish guy. by the way, in Ireland the position of town drunk comes with great honor and prestige. you have to be a bigger drunken slob than everyone else - which is very hard to do. their daughter has a bright future if she sticks with her boyfriend. you on the other hand, why you are just a smarty pants educated person! useless in Ireland.

Agreed. Just because you go to a great school doesn't mean you're necessarily a good person.

Agreed, 68. Men usually (sorry, I'm generalizing) make some shit up to cover up their real reasons for breaking up with their girlfriends. Well, at least some dishonest and immature ones do.
