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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your parents are stuck up ignorant people - sorry but it's true.

I know I saw that exact FML before. I know it might not be such a rare occurence, but I swear it had the exact same wording.

Ah parents. If it's real and you think it's going to last no harm in resuming the relationship after finishing college. You'll feel like you have cheated your parents but hey, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

It's not that easy to get financial aid, sadly. Most of my tuition was paid with loans and they expect me to pay $900 a month. To which I scoff, because I majored in fine arts. Follow your dreams, they said. It'll all work out, they said. In all honesty, it was worth it. Take a lesson OP. There's a way even without mom and dad's money. I think he should do it on his own to prove he doesn't need their cash!

Eventually we all must grow up and make our own choices. I lost my family and one of the best universities in the country because I chose my husband. Decide what matters in life.

Do you regret that decision?

My mom was in the same situation, except she was pregnant. OP needs to decide what he really wants. If the apple doesn't fall far from the tree then he can choose the money without any guilt (as long as she's not pregnant). If you really love this girl and you know it's not infatuation, then you've got to check out your options for college. You don't have to go to a university that costs $200,000 when a $50,000 univeristy can give you just as good an education even if it doesn't have the name recognition.

I hate people like your parents. **** what they say. They'll be the ones to regret their actions in the future when they've alienated you and your girlfriend and don't see you anymore.
