Today, my boyfriend told me all about how his parents sat him down last night and had a 20 minute talk with him about how I'm the biggest mistake he'll ever make. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents met my boyfriend for the first time. They spent the entire meal trying to convince him to dump me, all while I was sitting right next to him. FML
Today, I found the courage to tell my parents about my boyfriend. They simply reacted by lecturing me about how much he'll ruin my life, and how much they don't like him. They haven't met him yet. FML
Today, my boyfriend said angrily that he should never have gotten together with me, that he should have known a woman with divorced parents would have daddy issues, and never be quite right in the head. His own parents are divorced by the way, and his mom is extremely overbearing. FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend talking to his mom about me. It sounded like they were planning something for me, like a marriage. They were planning how to break up with me. FML
Today, I heard my boyfriend talking with my father in the backyard. I thought he was asking for my hand in marriage. He was actually telling him about his plans to break up with me. FML
Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML
Today, my boyfriend's parents decided that I was untrustworthy and that if they ever saw him with me he'd be heavily punished. They're travelling hundreds of miles just to make sure he stays in the house and doesn't talk to me. 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
Today, my boyfriend stood me up. At dinner with his parents. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house, intending to break up with him. Instead, I was greeted by his whole family throwing me a surprise party. I had to sit and listen to his whole family talk about what a great couple we are and how we're going to last forever. FML

Well, look, just talk to him for about 20 minutes about how you're not that bad. Unless you are.

So you're saying it only took 20 mins for his parents to tell him you're a big mistake? Either he was convinced quick, or they had shit reasons and he got up and left

perhaps he has recently discovered himself a gay and so he's making such ******* excuses..

Who would click "you deserve this"? Some angry single people.

It's the other way around. He's the biggest mistake you'll ever make. Dump him - you can do better than this overgrown child.

#28, No. Pick yourself up by your bootstraps, dust yourself off and keep trying.

Well, do you think their reasons are valid? I know it hurts OP, but try stepping outside of your ego and ask yourself - are you the woman that would make him happy, long term? It's an important exercise, you see- only if the answer is an unequivocal "yes" - and not just wishful thinking, you have reasons to think so - should you build a relationship. What are the parents' concerns?

This was funnier than any FML I've read so far.

Well he obviously cares about you, otherwise he wouldn't have told you that and just believed his parents. If there's a will, there's a way! :)

Op, if your boyfriend listens to even considers what his parents say, he's not worth it, I can promise you that. He shouldn't even take a second to think about it if he loves you. He would tell his parents that you're there to stay and don't plan on going anywhere. if he cant tell them that, you should. His parents aren't the one dating you, he is. If you end up breaking up with him, it might hurt but keep in mind that you will find someone better. Good luck!

Depends why they were saying that stuff. I hope he stuck up for you; I'd assume he probably did if he's actually telling you what they said.
