They were probably trying to do it without being jerks

It took the two of them to break up with you? Might be too late to cut those apron strings.

That totally sucks

Yes it sucks, but maybe he was just was just asking advice to his mother on how to break up with you with as little pain as possible.

Exactly! He cares enough to not send her a text or just say "we're done" and walk away. You're not always a jerk just because you want to break up with someone, OP

I'm sorry but I don't understand how this is an FML with so little detail. How long have you been dating? How old are you both? I think it is perfectly acceptable to ask your mother for advice, he probably didn't want to hurt you, therefore; making him a gentleman, not a jerk. I am not voting either way as there is not enough information but from what I do have it would be a YDI as everyone who gets broken up with deserves to have it done at least respectfully and honestly.

Exactly. I understand the character limit and why it's needed, but sometimes it leaves a lot out.

I don't know why you're getting thumbed down. That was an awesome crossover

How does planning to break up with you sound remotely like planning a wedding?

I get the feeling OP might be a little too keen on moving quickly with said relationship, and perhaps OP's boyfriend feels different?
SpamPam 18
But it's just a stupid thought
JukeboxBanshee 10
So it would seem, with her thinking marriage and him thinking the single life. I just wonder what in their conversation made OP think that they were planning a marriage.

54 - Are you attempting to say "quack?" I've seen you post this on a couple comments.

Wow, everyone is assuming the worst. What if the dude said "Mom, I need I break up with my girlfriend but want to be as kind as possible. How would you, as a woman, want to get the news?" Come on. That's a caring individual right there. Sucks that she overheard, but that alone doesn't make him an asshole.

Yes, everyone is assuming the worst but don't be a hypocrite by also making an assumption.

#96 - When I say "what if" that means it's a postulate, not an assumption.

Maybe he's talking to his mum about it because he's not man enough to do it himself..
