Today, wanting to break up with my boyfriend, I invited him to dinner with my parents. I was sure they'd hate him, which would give me the excuse I needed. They ended up loving him, and now they won't stop mentioning marriage. FML

Awkward small talk

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

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 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

Bad timing

Today, my boyfriend invited me over to his house. I was planning on breaking up with him while at his house. Turns out, it was a proposal party. I'm now engaged because it would've been rude to say no in front of his family that had flown in. FML

Today, I went out for dinner with my parents where they asked me if I was still dating my boyfriend so I answered no. They quickly responded by saying, "Oh so you finally got rid of that douchebag? It's not like he was getting anywhere in life anyways." I answered no because he's my fiancé now. FML

Talk about not getting the picture…

Today, I finally worked up the courage to break up with my boyfriend. His parents weren't able to pick him up for 5 hours. I ended up taking him to a movie to kill time and end on a positive note, but now he thinks we're cool and back on track. FML

If you wanted to break up wouldn't you already have a reason without having to create one?

So by the laws of adolescent relationships, you now *definately* have to break up with them, since your parents like them now. Remember, Mind games aren't kind games.

most people bring home the person they are seeing to meet their parents because they are getting serious with them not come up with a way to dump them, if you already have a reason to dump him why are you trying to use your parents as one? grow up OP you sound very immature.

And now you've learned the pitfall of being passive-aggressive.

That's kind of unfair to him. How would you feel if someone broke up with you because their parents didn't like you? When you break up with someone, be honest.

Great plan! Maybe your parents will love him so much, they'll adopt him and you won't be able to sleep with him anymore because that will be incest! Genius!!!
