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

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 she heard me say "love you" on the phone. I was talking to my mom. FML
Today, I had to break up with my girlfriend at her request, because she "didn't have the heart to do it." Within twenty minutes I'd received four calls from mutual friends, including my best friend, telling me what a jerk I am. And one from my mom. FML
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 broke up with me after finding out my parents are divorced. Same reason my last three girlfriends broke up with me. 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
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, I broke up with my girlfriend. She was ecstatic. Apparently, she'd been trying to figure out how to break up with me for the past four months. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because he wasn't feeling our two-month relationship was up to par with his parents' 30-year marriage, and, furthermore, I wasn't similar enough to his mother. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. How? He invited my mother to his house for coffee with his parents, and told her. She then had to come home and tell me I’d been dumped. FML
Today, I went to my girlfriend's house to break up with her. It was a hard decision and both of us became quite emotionally overwhelmed at the time. We began to hug as a final goodbye, then her mum burst in the room and yelled, "HE FINALLY PROPOSED!" FML

Honestly, nothing to say except your parents obviously have no respect for you and your supernatural hearing talents.

He will get over it, OP. Don't let him bring you down. You do what's best for you.

Well OP, Looks like you got 1-upped by the ex. Pass her up by doing chores and being nice?

What the heck? He broke up with her for a reason. He shouldn't have to suck up to her now just because his parents are rude and mean.

#38. They were saying to do chores to 1-up the girlfriend, not suck up to her, just suck up to the parents. Get the parents to like him more than her.

40: ohhh I get it now(: sorry #1 lol

More like "smh", parents shouldn't say stuff like that. They should lift their children up, not put them down. I'd be pissed if I heard my parents say that.

Maybe the dad knew OP was still within hearing range and just said this to mess with OP?

still rude as hell

That sucks OP but many parents say things the don't mean. I am sure in a month or two they will forget about her.

Since his dad waited for him to leave to say that I'm assuming he probably meant it. It's okay though OP, I'm pretty sure my parents like my brother's girlfriend better than him. They still love him but they like her more.

If you're going to murder your parents use gardening tools not a gun. Haven't you ever watched a CSI?

FYL OP, you don't have some good parents

Judging by your name, neither do you, Ronberg

That's probably not his real name...

You don't think so? I use my real name here, so maybe others do too.
leonlee2002 10
Wait, 23, your real name is docbastard? (yes, I get that he doesn't mean his username)

Apparently your struggle is real

Maybe she didn't protest verbally, but gave him a look that said it all.

Sounds like you were dating out of your league, maybe you should rethink the break up.
popprock 13
What? You don't even know why he broke up with her and the parents could have said that for any reason. So just because you think she could've been "out of his league" means nothing.

Tell him you liked her more than him, but you see how that turned out...
