Today, I was called a whore by my own parents, simply because I’ve never had a relationship that lasted longer than a month. Everyone I’ve ever dated has dumped me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I now have been dumped by 4 serious girlfriends in the last 5 years, each of them for the same reason: Being with me would have meant dealing with my mother who, without fail, asked each of them when we planned on marrying and having kids, every single week. FML
Today, I got break-up text. She called me a poor, broke, little dick, sorry excuse for a man and said that my mom should have swallowed me "as an egg". She also said that no one could ever want me. Thing is, I haven't had a girlfriend in 2 years. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me after finding out my parents are divorced. Same reason my last three girlfriends broke up with me. FML
Today, my ex-girlfriend was having lunch with my parents. Believing she was in love with me and feeling the same, I dropped by. My parents told me that she’s their friend and that she has a boyfriend that they approve of, all while telling me I was never good enough for her. FML
Today, every girl I’ve dated since high school has falsely accused me and spread rumors of me beating them, and of being an “abusive boyfriend.” This is now my reputation around this city. The one thing they all have in common is they each cheated on me with the type of guy they accuse me of being. FML
Today, I’ve been single for so long that my mom’s friends ask her if I’m a lesbian, all because I’m 35 and not married yet. Truth is, my last relationship fucked me up so bad that the thought of falling in love with someone again makes me physically ill. FML
Today, I went to my parents' house after escaping my abusive relationship. My mom scoffed and said, “This is what happens when you move out, barely graduated high school, with a bum.” When I told her I was 3 months pregnant, she said, “And a child out of wedlock? You’re a lost case!” and slammed the door in my face. FML
Today, my parents disowned me because I told them I don’t want kids. FML
Today, I found out that in the past, my mother has paid or outright threatened my girlfriends into breaking up with me, because they were, "unsuitable trash not fit to be the mothers of my future grand babies." This explains why I’m 47 and have never married or had children. FML
Today, I confessed to my boyfriend that many years before we met, I once slept with a guy in my college for $500 just so I could avoid becoming homeless before my next student loan kicked in. He dumped me because he “doesn’t date whores”. FML

A few things: 1. It depends on your age, but getting consistently dumped after a month as a teen could be the opposite of whoring, because they may (or may not) have dumped you for not putting out (happened to me once). 2. You could be an asshole. Not saying you are, but you could be if you have a pattern of being dumped. 3. You could be too clingy. Desperation isn't cute. 4. You could be not clingy enough (aka you come across as disinterested in the relationship). This happened to me with #2 and #3 before I realised that I liked having friends, but didn't care enough for a relationship where my affection was 'tallied' by whether I called them every day or not, or spent hours a day chatting or texting. Your parents are buttholes regardless of any of the above though. Who you do or don't sleep with as long as you're being safe is seriously none of their business.

Loving others is hard and cost money. But loving yourself is usually cheaper and more easy. If your relationships only last a month, it could be a sign of desperation. Love and nurture yourself. Screw other people and screw your asshole parents.

Relationships can be tough, takes practice. A couple of books that may be helpful are 1) Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment 2) The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts Could have saved myself a lot of grief had I read these years ago.
