Dodged a bullet

Today, I met my girlfriend's parents. Her father looked me up and down, said, “No” then went back to his TV. My girlfriend immediately broke up with me and threw me out. I even had to get a really expensive taxi home, because we’d driven in her car and I had no idea what part of the city I was in. FML

Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his mom, but she decided I was “unsuitable.” I hoped he’d be on my side. Nope, he just accepted her word as law, broke up with me, and pushed me outside. He'd driven me there, so I had to find a bus in a city I’ve never been to, in the dark, without a coat. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to meet my parents. My dad thought it'd be hilarious to act surprised and ask me if I'd already dumped the girlfriend I introduced him to yesterday. She slapped me and stormed out of the house before my dad could tell her it was a joke. FML

Today, my girlfriend invited me over for the first time. I pulled up to her house just to be denied at the front door by her mum. She'd invited me over to break up with me, but had her mum do it for her. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I thought she wasn't being serious when she said her mum wanted me to pay to stay the night at her house for the first time. FML

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. After she left, they told me they disapprove of her because of her supposedly lower social class. Now I have to either dump her or lose the money they set aside to pay for my university tuition. FML

Funny story…

Today, I met my girlfriend’s parents for the first time. I wanted to break the ice, so I brought up a funny story… about my ex-girlfriend, without thinking. The room fell silent, and my girlfriend’s mom just stared at me. My girlfriend left the room in tears. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend home to meet my parents. They thought it'd be hilarious to put on ridiculous accents and act like country hicks, spewing obscenities and strongly hinting that we're into incest. She soon left in disgust. I haven't heard back from her since. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend home to meet my parents. My dad was having a bad day and was rude from the outset, but things went to total hell when he started screaming that he'd "kill" our microwave if it didn't "shut the hell up". My girlfriend now thinks we're a family of abusive psychos. FML

Today, my girlfriend told me she wanted get to know my mom, so they went off and had a chat. After an hour, I noticed my girlfriend was gone and my mom was waiting for me. Apparently I've been dumped through my mother. FML

Today, my girlfriend, who I thought was the one I’d one day marry, didn’t survive her first time meeting the extended family. My parents loved her, but my grandma, great grandma, aunties, and cousins gave her such a hard time that she ran out in tears, jumped on a bus, then broke up with me via text. FML

Better off without her. Seems like she's destined for the spinster life.

Really wondering if there is something obviously objectionable about you. If my daughter brought back a trainwreck of a person I would probably do the same.

Meant to downvote. You can't judge someone you never met.

Sure you can, what if he's 30 and she's 16 or maybe his face is covered in tattoos.

Considering that she immediately went along with the father with no questions or discussion means that she is way too dependent on her parents or is emotionally stunted. Another red flag for her personally is that she left him immediately stranded.

My guess is Daddy dearest doesn't like any guy she brings home.

He figured you out that quickly? Most people can present a false front to make it take some effort to discover what a POS they really are.

you sound high schoolish in age... that means you are more or less are set up for failure... although you should have been quick to open with "Hello Sir, it's good to meet you. *insert known interest for bonding here*" and give a solid hand shake. sounds a bit outdated, but you are trying to show you have A) Manners. and B) enough effort invested to not seem like you are just aiming for zipper points.

Look, I don't care how much you disapprove of the guy your daughter brings home, there is never a good reason to just leave a a person stranded in a strange part of the city like that. What if OP didn't have enough money to pay for the taxi? Heck, at least he did so at least we know he isn't some broke-ass bum. Also, raising a daughter who would just do that to someone she professed to love just minutes before actually makes you a bad person in my book. If you really don't want your daughter to spend any more time with the guy then offer to take him home yourself. The fact is that inviting someone to your home puts you under a certain obligation to at least treat them with a certain level of human decency. I once dated a Daddy's Little girl and now I have a rule against ever subjecting myself to that shit again. The one I dated was a really selfish and inconsiderate person, it turned out in the end.
