Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. FML

Today, my parents told me, after 30 years of marriage, that they are getting a divorce. I went to my boyfriend's apartment because I needed some comfort. While sobbing to him, he decided to dump me on the spot because my reaction to the news was "immature" and he wants an "adult" relationship. 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

Best advice is to lay low with the engagement for awhile, then give them the good news. Better to figure out how this will impact your wedding though, since you'd probably want both of them to be there. I was going to say something witty, but nothing really comes to mind :P Hard to sugarcoat how much this sucks for every party involved :P

If you two end up getting a divorce some time in the future, you know it's a family bondage, and therefore you should pray and seek the Lord. Because apparently we know nothing, and neither did I until last Friday. "My people perish for lack of knowledge"

quick tell them... if you are 30+ and they are anything from the older days... they will patch things up to get through the facade of a perfect family for your wedding. It just might help them rekindle things seeing the love you both share for yourselves??? Who knows...

Well where do you think the ring came from?! I'm only kidding. I really hope things work out for you, it really must be hard

I can't press "I agree, your life sucks" because you get to get married...

Ouch. You should probably wait a bit before telling them.
