Today, I was supposed to talk to my girlfriend's mom to ask permission to date her daughter but I chickened out. We've been together for almost a year, but have not been on a real date because I am too damn scared of her family. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said she wanted to accept, but that she'd basically have to get her mom's permission first. Apparently the answer was no. The worst thing is that she really is this unhealthily dependent on her mom, and probably wasn't lying about needing her permission. FML
Today, I finally got up the nerve to ask out my crush, only to find out that they're already in a committed relationship with my mom. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's father for the first time; he asked me to explain my interest in dating her. In a mix of me trying to say "I want to be with your daughter" and "I want to be in your daughter's life" I got confused and said, "I want to be in your daughter." FML
Today, our daughter has actually been dating a decent guy, compared to the usual losers, and was going to meet his parents. My wife put her foot in it by repeating over and over again how important meeting the parents is. She psyched her out so bad, she cancelled meeting his parents and dumped him. FML
Today, my girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me because I hadn't popped the question to her yet. For the last six months, I have been respectfully trying to convince her over protective father to give me his blessing. FML
Today, I talked to my mom about hanging out with her. She got out her phone to schedule an appointment. FML
Today, I finally mustered up the guts to ask this girl I like to dinner and a movie. She agreed on the terms that she could bring someone, and I'd said it wouldn't be a problem. When I met up with her a few hours later, I found out she'd brought her boyfriend. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend’s parents for the first time. I wanted to break the ice, so I brought up a funny story… about my ex-girlfriend, without thinking. The room fell silent, and my girlfriend’s mom just stared at me. My girlfriend left the room in tears. FML
Today, I asked a girl what time she'd like me to pick her up for our date tonight. She didn't know what I was talking about. It seems like, after months of sweaty palms, nervous smiles, and awkward sentences, I only dreamed she said yes to going out. FML
Today, I invited my girlfriend over to a family lunch, planning to propose to her at just the right moment. My family was in on it, including my apparently disapproving mom, who kept causing a scene to grab my girlfriend's attention every time I went to pull out the ring. FML

go ahead and break up with her man. she's either going to dump you or cheat on you in the future because you're a NoBallPussyLoser and demand no respect.

lol #64 I meant Justin Bieber... I'm guessing you didn't get that one If the OP's real name is Justin that would be funny...
michie56 0
no I actually agree with the OP. my parents are the strictest people in the world. all my friends are scared of them, that's why my parents don't know that I have a bf.
xmagster 0
seriously?! If I where her, I'd break up with you. Be a man and ask her family!!!! it's not exactly that hard. GROW UP

why are these almost always from France, what's a Frenchie doing with a real girlfriend?
bluefairy_fml 24
It has already been explained several times, they're not really from France, they've been sent from a mobile phone. When this happens, the site sets the location to the default, which is France, because, well, the site is French. Though if the location had been "US", I doubt you would have said "what's wrong with these Americans"...

Im 16 and my family does it, it's all about resect. If you can stand up to my Dad and military brothers? You're in. (:

It's ******* ridiculous, American jumbo. Why just don't date, **** and do whatever with anyone you want, since it's none of the parents business.

Maybe it would make you feel better if your girlfriend asked your mom if she can take you out on a date?

don't even trip about it :0 my mom always looks angry -_- so naturally everybody is scared to go near her :0

that's a crying shame old stick, perhaps your tendancy for traditional politeness and manners is frowned upon, but in all honesty sir, YDI for fearing a young ladies mother, take a bottle of champagne to her family and prove your gentlemancy! x

Are all FMLs written by 14 year olds now?
rgt154 0
it's starting to look like it. hey little boys and girls, no one gives a shit about ur gay life, nothing u do is as important as u think, stay off fml. and op, obviously u don't care bout this chick, and FYI parents arnt that bad, grow a pair

No, I'm actually a real pokemon.

Nothing wrong with pokemon. Whining about non-existent problems? That's juvenile.

"Now?" There's two categories of FML idiots with kids and idiots who are kids.

WHOA. WHOa. WHoa. Whoa. Whoa. Wait you two have been together a year, and have never actually been out? Hmmm. Screaming "fake" to me.
Sun_Kissed18 25
Normally I'd say so too but I know a couple like this and surprisingly, they are failing. Well what do you know! Sex doesn't keep everything together.

115- Sometimes both, those are the funniest ones.
LilaBear 1
Actually, I've come across several young adults (eg. college aged) who will ask parents permission to date a girl. Not common but it does happen, it's just a respect thing.
XxRayRayxX 0
pussy, just ask, the worst they can do is say no
OneHottBaby 1
Or, it can be like another FML where the worst thing wasnt no. it was himm getting kicked inn the nuts and getting called a douchebag. Justtt sayin'. ;)
