Love: Today, I rushed home to tell my parents my girlfriend had accepted...

Today, I rushed home to tell my parents my girlfriend had accepted my proposal. They asked how I could be so selfish at a time like this. Apparently, Michael Jackson's death is more important than their son. FML

Today, I discovered that my boyfriend was planning on proposing to me tomorrow. I found out after receiving a couple of a dozen texts from friends and relatives bitching me out for not telling them. Apparently, my dad thought it would be appropriate to make the announcement for me on his Facebook page. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML

I'm very disappointed in the comments claiming that you deserved this. And also disappointed in the arguments over whether or not Michael Jackson deserved to die. That's not the point here- I understand being upset, but life does go on outside of Hollywood's tragedies. Michael Jackson's death may have been saddening to some people, but as their son, your news should have, at the very least, been a temporary distraction from his death. That would still be somewhat pathetic, but better than nothing. Congratulations, by the way.

Your parents are dumb. People die all the time. Your son doesn't get engaged all the time (hopefully). It's not like they knew him. I'm pretty sure the days of MJ's decent music are long gone by now, even if he was planning a comeback. They should have been more upset about Farrah, anyways. For MJ's family, it sucks. For people who never knew Michael Jackson it's stupid to wallow in it. EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT THE WHOLE MOLESTATION THING: No, he wasn't found guilty of that, but he did openly admit in interviews that he slept in the same bed with young children that weren't his and found nothing wrong with it. To me, that's really, really creepy.
