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, 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

Something sort of similar happened to me, except it was with the choosing of schools. I'd been told my whole life that my tuition would be paid for for whatever I chose, and in grade twelve my parents told me I had to go to the university near my house (which is a good university) instead of the university father away which had the program I wanted. I had no savings at all, and was stuck with the school near me. I like it now, but it still isn't what I'd wantef

if you dump her over that then you don't deserve her

Just tell your parents you dumped her. Who's gonna know?

Ultimatums suck. I wish you luck on the decision.

Tell her what they said then fake the break up.

They are obviously controlling, shallow and superficial, they'll just keep blackmailing you with the money until they mould you into exactly what they want to be. If you love her (or really care about her if it's early) then be with her. If not then you should leave her anyway. Otherwise you're basically being a gold digger if money is more important than love... :/

Lower social class, what is this the Middle Ages? I'd keep the relationship on the down low.
