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?

I cannot press YDI enough, listen the poor bastard probably thought you taking him to meet your parents was a good step in going further in the relationship. So for godssakes stop leading him on and just end it. Its the right thing to do. Clean break.
