Today, days after I broke up with my girlfriend, my dad tried to make her feel better by inviting her to our family BBQ next weekend. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because of my dad constantly hitting on her. Not because she was disgusted, but because she wants to date him. FML
Today, my girlfriend called me from her parents' house where she is visiting. They were BBQing outside when out of the blue her childhood friend Adam showed up at the door for the BBQ. She asked her parents why he was there, and her dad replied that he "wants her to know that she has options." FML
Today, I was informed, after being broken up with, that my girlfriend's father only set her up with me so that she would have more motivation to shower on a regular basis. He actually yelled at me for being broken up with. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to meet my parents. My dad thought it'd be hilarious to act surprised and ask me if I'd already dumped the girlfriend I introduced him to yesterday. She slapped me and stormed out of the house before my dad could tell her it was a joke. FML
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. After breaking the news to my parents, I heard my dad mutter when I left, "Damn it, I liked her better than him." My mother didn't protest. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my dad. I thought it was a good idea at the time, at least until he took her aside for a private chat. During the chat, he told her all about my two previous marriages and advised her to "get out while you can". FML
Today, I found out that even after a really bad break up and the fact that I left him for someone else, my parents offered my ex-boyfriend to join us on a one week family vacation. He agreed. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. She told me that her father didn't approve of me and forced her out of the relationship. Her father died 2 years ago. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me after 3 years. Why, do you ask? Turns out her dad used to bully my dad in highschool and my dad kicked his ass after all this time and sent him to the hospital. FML
Today, my girlfriend of two years broke up with me because her father, who abandoned her before she was born and just reentered her life, doesn't approve. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I can't imagine why she would even want to go.

I can already feel the awkward. Good luck, OP.

Show up with a boyfriend. This would be an excellent twist!

Why would OP turn up with a boyfriend, he broke up with his girlfriend, he does not state he is gay.

obviously it was meant to suggest posing as a gay to make the dad back off....

Probably regretting breaking up with her over the phone right about now.

Over a voicemail, on her birthday, while there's a ton of people in her house for a surprise party for her... Hopefully she doesn't know Krav Maga.

I can't imagine how this would be a good thing to do, she might get the idea that you two may still have a chance at being together.

Jees, who's side is your dad on. Talk about an uncomfortable situation. I look forward to your next fml post after the BBQ.

I can just smell the awkwardness that will soon be flowing out of both of you guys like hot air. Hopefully she's not dumb enough to come anyway.

After realizing how inappropriate your Dad can be, she is probably feeling better about the breakup. Mission accomplished, Dad.
