Today, my mother and I walked past my boyfriend, whom she's never met. After we casually greeted each other and went on our way, my mother said, "He's cute. Who is he?" I paused for a second and replied, "That's my boyfriend." She then said, "Does he know that?" FML

That is a very valid reason! Multiple times, I have considered that option, with my wife, non the less. Although, I am sorry for your whole predicament….

There's a girl I like and who is awesome, but I'm afraid of dating her because her parents are right wing religious nuts. If your boyfriend has a similarly valid reason, I can agree with him.

That's one of the few *legitimate* reasons to dump someone. If your mom is a scary, battle axe now, he knows that eventually you are going to become a scary battle axe!

Today, I realized my parents, especially my dad, interrupt me so often when I'm talking that I've become completely accustomed to being interrupted whenever I speak. When they aren't interrupting me, they're either ignoring me, or just not acknowledging me. They still wonder why I don't talk much. FML
