Today, my boyfriend and parents went out to dinner. As we started the meal, my boyfriend proposed and the restaurant burst into applause. My mother said without hesitation and a large scowl, "If you say yes, I'm leaving." FML

ThanksMom tells us more.

Hi, FMLer here. The reason my mother said that was because she wanted me to get back together with my first boyfriend, though I've been with my new fiance for 5 years. She never got over me leaving my first and never accepted anyone after. And as you might have noticed in my previous paragraph- I said yes! (And by the way, my father told my mother if she leaves, he'd stay and wouldnt give her the car keys. ;) )

Public proposals are horrible and pressure-filled. It's totally your decision, and it shouldn't have to be made in front of anybody else except your significant other. But I'm hoping you said yes, because your mother was WAY out of line to say that.

I told my boyfriend if he proposes, he asks to ask my for parents' permission first. My family's very old school. I wonder what my parents would say to him 'cause I get the impression that my parents don't like him, but they always deny it.

hey, if he proposed to u, doesnt that mean ur dad agreed to this????? who cares what ur mother thinks and just say yes!!

Thats rude, if she doesnt like him, she could have told you in private. instead of in public. thats just dumb. But, what did you say!?!

I would say yes cuz if ur mom get angry like that u would want her to leave
