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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 girlfriend was given an ultimatum by her dad: come back to China and marry the man he picked for her, or stay here at uni with her 'white devil boyfriend' (me) and be shunned by her whole family forever. She chose here for her future career, but I think she resents me for it. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. Recently, her mother married a rich guy and they moved in together. Her stepfather pays for everything and she can now go to bars every weekend or travel. Now that she’s “had a taste of the good life” she thinks she can meet someone better. I’m working class. FML
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
Today, my girlfriend of two years broke up with me because her father, who abandoned her before she was born and just reentered her life, doesn't approve. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my dad. I thought it was a good idea at the time, at least until he took her aside for a private chat. During the chat, he told her all about my two previous marriages and advised her to "get out while you can". FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to a female friend of mine, because I thought they would get along. Apparently they get along better than I expected; she dumped me for the other girl. FML
Today, my parents lectured me about how my girlfriend will ruin my life, because she's a single mom, a recovering alcoholic, and has chronic health issues. Apparently, I should be with their friend's rude, trashy daughter, who can't keep a job, and goes on a drunken, drug-fueled bender every other week. I'm 31. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me that her parents have a bet going on when we are going to break up. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend's parents offered her a trip to Europe if she dumped me. She accepted, and broke up with me. Her parents were lying. FML

My brother's boyfriend had the same issue. His boyfriend's mother refused to beleive her son was gay and said if he didn't dump my brother she would stop paying for his college tuition. He quickly finished the schooling while keeping his relationship secret, and as soon as he was done with college they opened up their relationship again.

I'd pick the girl whether you think the relationship will last or not just to give your parents the finger. I wouldn't want money from classist assholes like that; it's dirty money. Just major in something you know you can make money with - IT, something medical, etc. - and you'll pay back your loans quickly enough.

Break up with her, get the money, get the degree, get a high paying job, get her back, give her a good life she deserves from you.

Dump her 100%. University is so much more important and chances are very slim that you won't end up breaking up anyways.

to put it bluntly, screw them. If you love her and want to spend the rest of your life with her then nothing else should matter to you. And as for your parents, this is just the first step in them controlling the rest of your life. Break the mold now while you still can.

Live your life or live the life your parents tell you to, but remember.. you only have one life to live.

Your parents are "lower class" minded with "upper class" money...in other words...stuck up tools (@$$h0L3$). Try to keep the girlfriend (if she's a good person..money CAN'T buy everything) & tell her what your parents have threatened you with, then both of you just keep your relationship on the down low until you've graduated & later you can tell your parents where to stick it where the sun doesn't shine, if they are still going to be jerks.
