Today, my girlfriend called me from her parents' house where she is visiting. They were BBQing outside when out of the blue her childhood friend Adam showed up at the door for the BBQ. She asked her parents why he was there, and her dad replied that he "wants her to know that she has options." 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, I introduced my girlfriend to my dad. I thought it was a good idea at the time, at least until he took her aside for a private chat. During the chat, he told her all about my two previous marriages and advised her to "get out while you can". FML

Badass

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me after 3 years. Why, do you ask? Turns out her dad used to bully my dad in highschool and my dad kicked his ass after all this time and sent him to the hospital. FML

Show up with a boyfriend. This would be an excellent twist!

Why would OP turn up with a boyfriend, he broke up with his girlfriend, he does not state he is gay.

Over a voicemail, on her birthday, while there's a ton of people in her house for a surprise party for her... Hopefully she doesn't know Krav Maga.

I can't imagine how this would be a good thing to do, she might get the idea that you two may still have a chance at being together.

I can just smell the awkwardness that will soon be flowing out of both of you guys like hot air. Hopefully she's not dumb enough to come anyway.

After realizing how inappropriate your Dad can be, she is probably feeling better about the breakup. Mission accomplished, Dad.
