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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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

Can't be a pussy your whole life. Nut up. Parents might even respect that. Not Immediately but later on. Gotta prove them wrong. An $ don't mean shit. Money Is easy to get btw. As long as work hard.

Don't dump her. It's not about the girl, it's about your parents controlling your life. Even if this girl isn't the "one", what are you going to do when your parents do it the next time, or the time after that? You have to start saying no eventually, and now seems like a really good time to start.

Sad... You're parents are shallow jerks dude. Just get a job, and pay for your own tuition. You can't let your parents control your life forever

They sound like total snobs. You could lie to them about breaking up with her and if you are still together when you are done with college than tell them or act like you got back together.

I wish my dad had had someone like your parents looking out for him. He married twice to two different women from lower social (and financial) standing. Both times they divorced him--and took him for all they could get. Currently, his second x is asking for more money in that divorce. Any money she gets affects my tuition. Perhaps your parents are looking out for you, op, so that this girl does not get money from you (or your parents) that she didn't earn.
