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

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

Today, I told my mom about the rough time I'm having over my recent break-up, and how I can't help thinking about my ex every single day. Her attempt to console me involved saying, "Pft. I bet he doesn't think about you every day" and walking away. Thanks. FML

Today, after we got home from the doctor's office, my mom checked the voicemail. Loud and clear, we both heard my boyfriend's break-up message. My parents had already forbidden me from dating. FML

Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. FML

Today, I broke my own no contact rule with my ex, begging him to come back. He simply replied, "Stop begging. It's over." FML

Today, I found out that my "I don't care about boy problems" friend decided it would be a great idea to talk to my ex-boyfriend's girlfriend about me. My ex was the one who told me. He thought I'd asked my friend to do it. 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 _________".

no what you do is go on the black market and buy a liver. then when your parents come home, you should be on the ground with katsup and a knife and thr liver on the ground and make them explain why they did what they did and what they would do to have you back. and then get up and scream GOTCHA! film this all, and make it a viral online video, start your own prank company, become famous, and then break up your parents marriage just to see how THEY like it.

OP... Your parents are b*******. They should never have done this. I say explain the situation to your ex, and hopefully she gets back with you. Then I say get revenge on your parents in some way, shape, or form. Screw your parents. FYL OP.

damn, that's awful, but you should talk to them, tell 'em they need to get a life of their own. do you still live with them? if so, that'll be harder, because the might think just because you still live with them, they have the right to control your life & your relationships.

There are two mutually-exclusive explanations here: 1) your parents are childish manipulative assholes or think your girlfriend isn't right for you because she doesn't believe in the same set of bible verses they do; 2) your parents actually care about your well-being and their extra life experience and more neutral point of view enabled them to spot that your girlfriend was totally wrong for you and would make you miserable; in case you wonder why they didn't tell you it straight: you're in love, which means you can't think straight; Ask yourself what type of people your parents are, whether they fit better in explanation 1 or 2.
