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, I threw an elaborate surprise birthday party for my boyfriend of four years. He thought we were going to a quiet dinner but when we arrived, thirty of his friends jumped out and surprised him. Instead of kissing me to thank me, he broke up with me because of how easily I had lied to him. FML
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
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

You better get to that break-up soon! The longer you wait, the more they'll believe your relationship WILL last forever.

How could this change OP's mind? It might guilt her a little but she should still go through with it. You would really stay in a relationship because some people want you to? She wanted to break up and this is only making it harder than it has to be

A surprise party would change your mind about breaking up with your boyfriend? What the ****

I know you were just trying to be polite, but you really should have let them know you were breaking up with him before the whole shindig started.

It was a surprise party, so the whole shindig started as soon as she arrived.

Should've said "Surprise! Forever is shorter than you think!" And awkwardly just backed out the door.

Wow, that blows. I'm sorry that you feel awful, but it is best to break up with him sooner rather than later, because while it may hurt him, it's worse to lead him on. Also, I commend you for actually wanting to breakup with him face-to-face. Even though it is more difficult, it is better than getting a text. Good luck, OP.

Try giving him a second chance maybe things will work out

That's assuming he's done something wrong. Someone can be lovely, just you fall out of love, one of you changes, or they're just not the one.

Did your boyfriend also happen to propose to you during this party?

Ugh it's extremely hard to break up when you've built relationships with his/her family members.
