Today, my crazily elitist parents were so desperate to get me to dump my fiancé that they threatened to divorce if I didn't. When I told them to go ahead, they bitched me out for being disrespectful. FML

Sounds like it's time to start loving them from a distance.

At least you stood up for yourself. It's your life, and your decision. They have no right to demand such things.

Hopefully they don't have a real reason for wanting him gone. You have to make your own choices and do what makes you happy. If he makes you happy, then he needs to be in your life.

That's an insane double standard =_____=.

Good thing they weren't hard headed and stubborn. had it been my parents they probably would have went through with the divorce then blamed me the rest of their lives

not agreeing with either side, but are these people usually rational or are they always nutty and extreme? are they seeing "red flags" that maybe you're not seeing? maybe have a sit down and ask what the problem is. if not, forget them. live your life the way you see fit.

Your parents don't like him because he treats you well, makes sure you have everything you need, and he listens to you? Or maybe he's actually an ass hole and you're too blind to see he's a creep?

They were just looking for a reason to get divorced.

Your parents sound absolutely lovely OP

You're what makes me still have hope in loyal relationships. I'm glad you stood up for yourself and your relationship when your parents even threatened divorce, even if it was a bluff.
