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

Prove them wrong.

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

I know what that's like my parents think the same about my boyfriend!

My husband's parents did that 6 years ago and I am still around. You just have to prove them wrong, and your partner just has to stand up for himself and his choices... which it looks like he did, so that's good

This happened to me, with my parents having this conversation to me about my girlfriend. I respect my parents a lot, so I listened to what they had to say and remained calm, but I made sure that they knew she was the girl for me and that their opinions weren't going to change my mind. I think it may have driven my parents and I apart a little, but it's more than worth it and only right to defend the person you love. It is sad that people that you love and that love you put you in a situation like that to begin with, but hey, it happens. We"re engaged and living together now and all is going well. So don't worry OP, parents don't always know what's best.

If your boyfriend actually told you that his parents thought you were a mistake, then you're the one making the mistake. Not the other way around. It's pretty much guaranteed that he'll eventually dump you because of his parents' opinion. Cut your losses OP.

I know how you feel, my mom had the same talk with me about my fiancée.

Honesty is the best policy?

At least he's not your fiance. My wedding ended up being called off because his parents refused to show any kind of support. That's not the reason he gave me when leaving but everyone knows that's what caused him to leave.
