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

I've never heard of a boyfriend telling the father his plans to break up with his daughter. Wouldn't that be a recipe for disaster?

I wonder how the father reacted?

I see all these comments about hoping that the bf had physical harm done to him and I can only think of how stupid they are. You don't know the whole story of why he did it. He could have had very good reasons for all we know. You people are very fast to pass harsh punishment onto people. Even if his reasons weren't the best, he most like doesn't deserve a punch in the face or other physical harm.

#17 Have you really seen that many stupid comments that when you see a well thought out and logical comment you assume they're new?

Even if a boyfriend/girlfriend had bad reasons, surely it's better for them to end it than stay as none of their reasons are "good enough"? I don't get why people are meant to bed a reason. Surely sometimes, that person just isn't the one.

Why was he talking to your dad and not just you, in a private setting?

Asking permission to break it off that's a new one

I don't understand why he told your dad, my dad would get pissed off if he knew some asshole was about to break his daughter's heart....

So he's an asshole for breaking up with her? How do you know he isn't moving and knew he couldn't take her with him? How do you know he doesn't have cancer and didn't want her to be hurt if he died? There are so many things that you do not know about the actions he took and the reasons behind them yet you blindly call him. Ames and think poorly of him.

24, thank you for being the only logical person here. You've just restored a little bit of my faith in humanity. All these comments wishing physical harm on that guy just for wanting a break up are really bothering me. I don't understand why everybody is so quick to resort to violence for everything. It's like they think anytime a guy doesn't act as they want him to he deserves to be punched.

Hmmm, I start thinking the usual "he took it a step further to discuss it to OP's father so it doesn't come off as a shock to him" but then maybe and that's a big MAYBE it was just to make you think that (perhaps they knew OP was listening in) he was breaking up with you to surprise with a proposal? But it always depends on the situations and I don't know it so yeah.

Why would someone do that to propose? Even if they knew OP was listening. I wouldn't be too happy about it when being proposed to by the same man/woman who "broke up" with me. I'd be pissed.

My thought wasn't that he actually go through with the break up, he pretends that's his plan. So when him and OP "talk" it's actually a proposal. Never said he actually dumps her first.

Just maybe he was slipping daddy a 20 to take you out for ice cream after he gave you the big news!

Why would he discuss it with your father? Strange.

has anyome thought that maybe the dad was telling the boy to break up with her and the best way to? happend to me before when my father didn't want me in a LD relationship and my partner was moving overseas.. or maybe the guy had a good and genuine reason. I'd prefer to be the first to know but things happen
