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

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

Karma's a bitch, and so are you, bitch.

Thinking that other people would hate him only tells me that you also hate him. Clearly, not everyone does, and you dug yourself a deep hole because you couldn't just be mature about it and break up with him before. YTDI

you deserve this one, OP. Sorry to be the douche who doesn't defend you, OP but you should always take ownership of your own decisions and accept the consequences of your choices too. The boyfriend isn't right for you, that's your choice and he deserves the truth. Blaming your family is immature. It sounds like if this is the first meeting with the family, you guys haven't been together for very long so I don't think this guy is going to jump off a cliff or anything.. Just tell him how you're feeling and either talk it out or break it off.

YDI for attempting to make your parents do your dirty work.

If you don't want to be with him, simply dump him and stop leading him on. Hoping that your parents would hate him was a dumb move. YDI.

Then just dump him! Don't be a douchebaguette and lead him on.

ohh man it would suck to be the guy who ends up with u.

Wow, you deserved it for trying to make your parents do the dirty work and assuming they'd hate him just because you wanted them to. Did they break up with your previous boyfriends for you? Just wondering, because it seems like you can't say that you don't want to be together to your boyfriend's face. Way to lead him on, jerk.

That's terrible. What made you think taking your relationship to the next step would be a GOOD idea if you want to break up with someone?!
