Today, I was going to ask my parents for advice on how to get my ex-girlfriend back. I overheard them talking about how glad they were that their plan to break us up worked so well. I don't think I should ask for advice anymore. FML

Dude, guilt trip them. If they don't know you overheard them, faking extreme depression as a result of the breakup will probably be worth some pretty significant concessions. "Oh, it's our fault, let's cheer him up, he's always wanted _________".

explain to your ex that your parents were the one who tried to break you guys up, and then get back together. That is the best revenge. Oh yeah, and then with your ex, tell them " mom, dad, me and "ex name inserted" need to have a little chat with you about certain things" Seeing their eyes drain and that guilty look is totally the best revenge! And it is nit physically violent either!

Oh well.. Actually this is kind of funny! You should be all ''I know what you did last summer'' on your parents! Maybe that'll teach them!

You should tell your ex about it and if you get back together come home and say "Hey mom, hey dad. Guess what, me and 'insert name' are back together. Apparently someone tried to brake us up." (hint hint) "Do you know who would've done that?" Or try to guilt trip them in any other way possible.

Maybe she was a total loser and you can do much better. It's okay to bang white trash girls, just don't make them girlfriends.

Tell them what you heard, then inform them that if you want advice on how to be a bigger prick, you'll go to them. Otherwise they should butt the **** out and get lives of their own.

YDI and good for you. Your parents did that to you to teach you a lesson. You should have been playing Clay Aiken music while you were at home. I hope you are able to learn from your mistake.

Talk to your ex and tell her the situation. If I were the ex, I would get back with you just to spite them or at least get revenge. Also tell them that since you two got back together, you decided to marry her and make a whole show out of it. Go to one of those stores that sell fake cheap rings and get one that looks like an engagement ring. Propose to her in front of your parents (of course, make sure to talk to your ex and let her know that this is a fake engagement) and watch the utter horror come across your parents faces. Maybe that will teach them to butt out of your relationships in the future.

Last I checked, the only people who can break up with one another are the people actually in the relationship. With or without your parents help, you and your girlfriend still broke up, which should show to you that your relationship was not as strong as you thought it was or you two were just not right for each other. Besides, the fact that your parents wanted you to break up with her indicates that there is some quality of her that is horribly undesirable.

Or maybe it indicates that his parents are assholes, and that the girl broke it off with him in order to get clear of them.

This. And if the girl did it to get clear of them, well, maybe OP needs someone who cares about him enough to put up with his clearly weird and slightly jerky parents.

If she did then she wouldn't stick around when problems surface...parents know best!

Ya, OP is probably like 16 and was dating a manipulative she-devil and his parents did it for his sake. When you are a teen or tween, as clearly 90% of FMLers are, you are sure you know everything and have found "the one" and all that. But adults have a lot more experience with life and sometimes they actually know what they are doing. I honestly wish I could go back to being a kid and not fought my parents on so many things cause in retrospect they were actually looking out for me but I thought I knew better. Life would be a lot different if i had, and I wouldn't have struggled so much when I first got out on my own if I had learned the lessons my parents were trying to teach me. Oh well, live and learn.
