Today, I found out the reason my boyfriend dumped me was because his parents don't like the fact that I go to a prestigious university. However, they're completely accepting of the drunken slob who's dating their daughter. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. After she left, they told me they disapprove of her because of her supposedly lower social class. Now I have to either dump her or lose the money they set aside to pay for my university tuition. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said he needed to be with someone smart so that he could impress his parents. I just got accepted into medical school. When I pointed that out to him, he added that he needed to be with someone attractive. FML
Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. 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, I went with my girlfriend to her parents' house. They told me I smelled of cheap vodka. When I told them I worked in a bio lab and used ethanol a lot, they said I was too stupid to do anything like that. My girlfriend broke up with me because her parents think I'm a drunk. FML
Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents. Later on, his mom pulls me aside and tells me to back off, saying he will never marry someone like me and he should be with a nice girl like his ex. They broke up after he found her in his bed with his roomate. FML
Today, my crazily elitist parents were so desperate to get me to dump my fiancé that they threatened to divorce if I didn't. When I told them to go ahead, they bitched me out for being disrespectful. FML
Today, I met my new boyfriend’s parents, hoping that they would like me. They made subtle, mean comments during dinner and made me feel like total crap, all because my boyfriend left his ex-wife for me. They don’t get that we’re both good and compatible for each other, and that’s what matters. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me after his wife found out about us. FML

that was clever ;)

That's pretty much what his parents were saying. They knew OP would get dissatisfied with that loser (and were perhaps worried you would cheat on him, divorce him, etc.).

all the better for you even if you had feelings for the guy. if the parents are stupid enough to let the trashy people into their family, then you're better off not being involved with any of them in any way. it's a win situation for you, just gotta look at it a different way :)

I never understood people like this.. who would not want the best for their child? : It seriously baffles me.

I'm going to assume this is more sexist than any other form of discrimination... they figure if she is too "edumacated" she might not follow the family tradition of being barefoot and pregnant until she hits menopause...

I agree it doesn't make sense but it's inverse snobbery, they're threatened by someone different to them.

I've never met a liberal inbred hillbilly. This is definitely a member of the tea party.

if you've never met an inbred hillbilly liberal, then you must not get out much. I see them everyday, trying to get free handouts.

What does liberal vs. conservative have to do with this? I mean, I suppose if you hadn't used up all your stunning eloquence on 'Ohhh, liberals', you could have expounded on your point. It's OK though. After that masterful rhetoric, you're probably tired. My liberal death panels-- er, I mean, free health-care behind this door! Come find out why you're so tired and get a free sterilization to boot!

I interpreted this as being a sarcastic imitation of the parents, not as a serious "argument". Could be wrong.

the boyfriend has a sister, and the sister is dating a drunk. The parents accept the drunk, but not the OP, cause shes going to a good school. make sense now?
Jenmic 16
Hey Genius! The OP is most likely referring to her now ex-bf's sister.

Ydi for being in england
chocolate_gateau 0
Why does someone deserve it for being in England? This could easily have happened anywhere.. And the chances are, that as OP is of university age, it makes so much more sense for them to go to a British university rather than anywhere else.
