Today, my boyfriend told me all about how his parents sat him down last night and had a 20 minute talk with him about how I'm the biggest mistake he'll ever make. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I found the courage to tell my parents about my boyfriend. They simply reacted by lecturing me about how much he'll ruin my life, and how much they don't like him. They haven't met him yet. FML
Today, my boyfriend said angrily that he should never have gotten together with me, that he should have known a woman with divorced parents would have daddy issues, and never be quite right in the head. His own parents are divorced by the way, and his mom is extremely overbearing. 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, 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's parents decided that I was untrustworthy and that if they ever saw him with me he'd be heavily punished. They're travelling hundreds of miles just to make sure he stays in the house and doesn't talk to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML
Today, my boyfriend stood me up. At dinner with his parents. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house, intending to break up with him. Instead, I was greeted by his whole family throwing me a surprise party. I had to sit and listen to his whole family talk about what a great couple we are and how we're going to last forever. FML

Well, look, just talk to him for about 20 minutes about how you're not that bad. Unless you are.

Well OP, that sucks to hear something like that. But hey, why not have fun with that? Make sure you clue your boyfriend in on what you plan to do so that you can give his parents hell!

They're gonna love it if he knocks you up..

Has he left you? If not, at least that proves he loves you more than he cares about their advice...

If your boyfriend has a backbone, that's the surest way to make you two stay together. Try to drop a hint about your ring size.

That sucks I guess it's time to prove then wrong.

To prove what? And wrong who?

Prove that OP isn't the biggest mistake her boyfriend would ever make to his parents.

It's his life and yours, they can give him advice but he doesn't have to take it! Hope you two last the miles and get to throw it back in their face!

I'm going against the tide on this one. You ready for this? Dump him. Find a guy whose family accepts you. Once you hit your first rough patch with this one, he'll say, "My parents told me you were a mistake." Yes, this sounds rough, but you don't marry the man, you marry the family. Don't marry into a shit family, even if you met the oddball who happens to be decent.

Or, marry him and move to a different country. That should work, too.

Perdix is right because I'm speaking from experience. Every single problem with my ex was because of either his family not liking me or my sisters not liking him. It caused too many dramas, it would of never worked.

He has a point...I had a boyfriend with a very judgmental family and they pretty much gave him the same advice all the time about his girlfriends. He never stood up for me and when we did fight he would run to them and bad mouth me further proving their point. Usually the fights we had were because he could never say no or stand up for himself! Lol...It was really ironic.

Your advice is bad, and you should feel bad.

Smile at your haters in the face. You will never lose and it will make your boyfriend love you even more.

Maybe OP is a guy.

#24, a swing and a miss! You probably meant to submit this to the shower pissing story, and even then, "eh." Be careful about where you're posting and keep trying.
