Today, after having recently moved 300 miles to be with my boyfriend of 2 years, I have to celebrate Christmas alone. He never thought our relationship important enough to tell his family about me, and doesn't want it to be "awkward." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend decided that he needed some time alone for a few weeks. This break just so happens to include our one year anniversary, Christmas, New Year's, and my birthday. Now I get to spend the next three weeks alone. FML
Today, I got a phone call from my boyfriend breaking things off with me. He waited until the day after Christmas because he wanted all his presents. And he got me nothing. FML
Today, I sit isolated from my family with presents I cannot give. Though I respect my brother's religious beliefs and life ideals, he chooses to hate mine. He has gone out of his way to refuse patching up our relationship and now my parents who are at his house are not answering their phone. "Merry X-mas…" FML
Today, my fiancé broke it off with me on our 3-year anniversary at 12:01 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning. Guess who gets to go to family gatherings where everyone will be asking where he is. FML
Today, I sat for 3 hours at my boyfriend's Christmas celebrations. He has 22 cousins. They open presents one at a time. In silence. I got nothing. FML
Today, it's 49 days until Christmas, and all I can think of is how it’s mine and my partner's first Christmas together but she’ll be out of town. Apparently, she’d rather hang out with her whackjob family rather than my normal, stable family. FML
Today, I realized this holiday season is the first time in 4 years that I won't have a partner to share the holidays with. My partner of 4 years cheated on me this summer. I'm still bitter and dating is unnecessarily difficult. I wish I could just be happy alone and never feel lonely again. FML
Today, I spent Thanksgiving alone. I'm not close to my family, I'm the black sheep but my sister said she would come over. To my surprise, she ended up going to my family's', where I'm not wanted. My boyfriend went to his family's, so I spent the whole day alone. He'd even took my dog. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to give me my Christmas present early because he's going to his grandparents' house for Christmas and won't see me. I was excited, until I unwrapped a sweater that I left there a month ago. FML
Today, my mum told me she would rather spend Christmas with her boyfriend than with her own family. FML

Well then it shouldn't be too awkward for his family when you dump him.

By "family" you mean wife?

2 years together and you didn't meet his family yet. Why? You must have visited your boyfriend a couple of times in those two years, you could have easily said 'hi' to the parents. Or they could say 'hi' on Skype. Or on the phone. Really, I don't get it why you think it's a good idea to move 300 miles if you know that less of your boyfriends family. All the 'I discovered that my partner is married' FML's started this way.

That was my first thought too, sounds like he's married. I feel sorry for OP. By now she's probably found out though, and hopefully has moved on.

Not worth the 300 mile move if he still hasn't told his parents about you.

Wow. What exactly makes a relationship "important enough" then?

Also, you've been together 2 years and never once met/spoke with his parents? Red flag.

If you've got the ovaries for it, dump this spineless shit. He clearly is embarrassed to be with you and regardless of whether he has good reason to, and I'm presuming he doesn't, what he did was completely unacceptable.

Well, take the next bus back to where you came from. In 5-6 hours you'll be with actual loved ones.
