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

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

He seems like a nice guy, so I guess you could say, "it ain't nothin' that we ever said or did wrong; it's just love done gone".

thats pretty manipulative of them. you should still break up with him the way you intended and let his family know that what they did was unfair and hurtful to you

Why would it be YDI? It's not op's fault that they decided to have this surprise party.

I'm sure this has been said plenty, but if you're set on breaking up with him, then you need to do it sooner rather than later. It may suck, but it will be harder to do the longer you stay with him. And who knows? Maybe he feels similarly, but hasn't been able to say it? Maybe the surprise party was all the family and not him.

It could of been worse for the both of you. At least you were not in the middle of your breakup speech when they surprised you.

Always dump them in public. They are less likely to make a scene, and you're less likely to have a surprise party crash your plans!

Perfect time to tell them all that your relationship is over. Nothing better than hearing it straight from the horses mouth.
