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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. After hundreds of passive-aggressive comments, my boyfriend and I went into the kitchen. I started complaining to him about how his parents were horrible and mean. Little did I know, his parents had followed us in and were right behind me. FML
Today, wanting to break up with my boyfriend, I invited him to dinner with my parents. I was sure they'd hate him, which would give me the excuse I needed. They ended up loving him, and now they won't stop mentioning marriage. FML
Today, my parents met my boyfriend for the first time. They spent the entire meal trying to convince him to dump me, all while I was sitting right next to him. FML
Today, my boyfriend stood me up. At dinner with his parents. FML
Today, I had dinner for the first time with my boyfriend's parents. It was awkward enough without his mom asking, "So, what do you do for fun, besides my son?" FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend of a year and a half to meet my parents. Turns out he dated my mom. This should be a fun dinner. FML
Today, I went to dinner at my parents' house. I was going to surprise them by introducing them to my new boyfriend. They decided to surprise me too, by inviting my ex to the dinner. Everyone was surprised tonight. FML
Today, I spent two hours making dinner for my boyfriend's family. When I brought it over to their house they said "thanks" and didn't bother to invite me to stay to eat it. FML
Today, I was invited to my boyfriend's house for dinner for the first time. His mom made a fantastic dinner, so I showed my appreciation by eating the lot. Apparently I was overdoing it because when I looked up everyone was staring. His dad muttered, "Slow the hell down." 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

That really sucks. As much as people here are saying 'lol *** them they dunt mater', if you end up staying with this guy, it DOES matter. Long-term, committed relationships are a lot harder on someone if your significant other's family doesn't like you (assuming your S.O. is close to their family. If not, then it really doesn't matter -too- much.) Ask your boyfriend what his parents said they didn't like about you, and if it's something petty like what you were wearing or how you were acting, wear different things or act the way they like when you are around them. Not too difficult to put up at least a little bit of a front to get along. Good luck, and FYL.

Wow that was really rude. I would've walked back in and said "You know I haven't left and can still hear you, right?". I really hope your boyfriend stuck up for you and that he goes by what he thinks of you and not what his parents think. And to the people who think a girl will never be good enough for their parents son: My fiance's parents love me. They always tell me how they're so glad he met me because I've helped him get out of a lot of sh*t he was in. My mom also loves him as a son(I don't talk to my dad, because he's so abusive). The point is, MOST OF THE TIME the person somebody's child dates isn't good enough, but in some cases, their parents DO like you. Good luck OP!

That's really messed up. If they were gonna talk about you they shouldve done it when you left. That would've sucked. I'm sorry.

Oh well. As long as he loves you, thats all that matters. Don't let they're judgement get you down, they're prolly dealing with a bunch of shit themselves
