Today, I was going to ask my parents for advice on how to get my ex-girlfriend back. I overheard them talking about how glad they were that their plan to break us up worked so well. I don't think I should ask for advice anymore. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents found out that I separately convinced them not to get back together, and now they're not speaking to me. FML
Today, my parents asked me if my girlfriend of two years and I wanted to go see a musical with them. I haven't told them that she broke up with me the day after she met them. FML
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 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
Today, my ex, who has been asking me to get back with her, told me that she doesn't want to be in a relationship with me when I asked. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend called my parents to let them know I broke up with him. He was sobbing. FML
Today, I wanted to call my mom to ask for advice but called my boss instead. I panicked and ended up talking about weekend plans like nothing was wrong. She now knows way too much about my personal life. FML
Today, I told my mom about the rough time I'm having over my recent break-up, and how I can't help thinking about my ex every single day. Her attempt to console me involved saying, "Pft. I bet he doesn't think about you every day" and walking away. Thanks. FML
Today, I was trying to break up with my boyfriend over text. I was being really careful to phrase it nicely, and I hit send with a sigh of relief. Except I sent the text to my mom, who now keeps sending me unsolicited advice about my "love life" with an occasional "You go, girl!" FML
Today, after we got home from the doctor's office, my mom checked the voicemail. Loud and clear, we both heard my boyfriend's break-up message. My parents had already forbidden me from dating. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Dude, guilt trip them. If they don't know you overheard them, faking extreme depression as a result of the breakup will probably be worth some pretty significant concessions. "Oh, it's our fault, let's cheer him up, he's always wanted _________".

no what you do is go on the black market and buy a liver. then when your parents come home, you should be on the ground with katsup and a knife and thr liver on the ground and make them explain why they did what they did and what they would do to have you back. and then get up and scream GOTCHA! film this all, and make it a viral online video, start your own prank company, become famous, and then break up your parents marriage just to see how THEY like it.

OP... Your parents are b*******. They should never have done this. I say explain the situation to your ex, and hopefully she gets back with you. Then I say get revenge on your parents in some way, shape, or form. Screw your parents. FYL OP.

damn, that's awful, but you should talk to them, tell 'em they need to get a life of their own. do you still live with them? if so, that'll be harder, because the might think just because you still live with them, they have the right to control your life & your relationships.

There are two mutually-exclusive explanations here: 1) your parents are childish manipulative assholes or think your girlfriend isn't right for you because she doesn't believe in the same set of bible verses they do; 2) your parents actually care about your well-being and their extra life experience and more neutral point of view enabled them to spot that your girlfriend was totally wrong for you and would make you miserable; in case you wonder why they didn't tell you it straight: you're in love, which means you can't think straight; Ask yourself what type of people your parents are, whether they fit better in explanation 1 or 2.

That's not necessarily true. Many parents don't know that their little 'princess' or 'angel' is a ****.
