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

If it so easy for them to take your college tuition money based on who you're dating maybe you should take the money in the first place? They'll just hold it over your head and continue to try to control your decisions..

If your parents want to act childish take their money and do it behind their back anyway. If they find out it's not like the university is going to give them their money back. You can't let them hold this type of crap over your head or they'll do it every time to get their way.

my family is expected to pay almost $1500 a month for my college. I had almost perfect grades and applied for over a dozen scholarships, none of which I got. financial aid is a good option, but not necessarily realistic. hope your parents see that they're wrong, op. otherwise you better learn to love ramen !

Damn! That's not right your parents shouldn't make you dump someone or just not go to college they would literally ruin your life either way! Tell them your not seeing her but keep dating her!

If you cave in on this thing, you will get your college paid for. Then if you don't take the job they want, they won't help you buy a house...it will never end, and you will give up your choices for some money. Also, just for general purposes, ask them what about her is low class.

OP, what's wrong with your parents? Just because your girlfriend isn't as wealthy or unfortunate, or whatever, doesn't mean she's scummy or dumb. They should stop being so judgmental. Keep the girl. That's the bottom line. **** your parents.

Tell your parents that you like her, and frankly they're close minded assholes, and need to see the world in color; not black and white. But they're apparently stupid ***** and won't understand my philosophy.
