Today, I heard my boyfriend talking with my father in the backyard. I thought he was asking for my hand in marriage. He was actually telling him about his plans to break up with me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I overheard my boyfriend talking to his mom about me. It sounded like they were planning something for me, like a marriage. They were planning how to break up with me. FML
Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend, "We need to talk." He said, "I know". So we met after school, and he said he was OK with me breaking up with him, that he wasn't that into me either. He said all that before I could tell him that my parents wanted to meet him. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 3 years called my house even though I was with him at the time. He needed to talk to my mom. He asked her to break up with me for him. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. I was about to call my parents and tell them we're getting married, but they called me first to announce they're getting a divorce. FML
Today, my dad had a chat with my fiancé, telling him he can do better than me, and to think carefully before going through with our wedding. FML
Today, my boyfriend's proposal speech somehow ended with him breaking up with me. FML
Today, my boyfriend went to ask my dad for my hand in marriage. All I could make out from the door was mumbling, until profanities started flying. My boyfriend shouted "well she's a SINGLE bitch now!" and stormed out of the house. My dad still refuses to tell me what happened in there. FML
Today, my boyfriend called and said he was stopping by to talk. I didn't understand why he would stop by, so I asked if he was going to break up with me, he said no. Half an hour later, he knocked on my door to break up with me. FML
Today, in the same sentence, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to "spend the rest of his life with me," and "I want to break up with you because I can't face your family." FML

I've never heard of a boyfriend telling the father his plans to break up with his daughter. Wouldn't that be a recipe for disaster?

I wonder how the father reacted?

Many of you ladies seem to have serious issues with men. Consider this alternate situation: a woman is going to break up with her boyfriend because she doesn't reciprocate his feelings; dozens of men tell him that she deserves to be physically harmed. How would you feel if you saw that?

Amen brother. All these butt-hurt women on here whose first response is "dump him" if a guy plays a joke or uses a bit of sarcasm. I love it when people who suck at relationships try to tell other people how to ruin their own. Like they say, misery loves company.

That sounds like an awkward conversation to be having with your girlfriend's dad as opposed to your own. Well sir, I've decided that your daughter and I don't mesh well anymore, I'd like your advice on how to end things

So basically OP you were expecting him to do what you wanted only? At least he was mature about it and didnt break up over text. Maybe he wasn't ready for marriage. Marriage is an enormous commitment and maybe you two weren't made for each other in the first place. But sorry to hear you break up anyways op. Maybe you'll find another guy who can take on marriage :)
