Today, I went out for dinner with my parents where they asked me if I was still dating my boyfriend so I answered no. They quickly responded by saying, "Oh so you finally got rid of that douchebag? It's not like he was getting anywhere in life anyways." I answered no because he's my fiancé now. FML

Parents never seem to approve of anyone's significant other for some reason.

he's your fiance && your parents weren't even told about it ? you think , telling them when prompted , that he's not your boyfriend anymore was a good way of breaking the news ? YDI .

Your parents say "douchebag"?

"Money talks, Shit walks" motto I live on. At least you went the opposite of that way. Sounds like you really care about him because money often gets in the way of some relationships. GZ HF

Maybe your parents are on to something.

If he didn't ask your parents before he asked you, he probably is a douchebag loser.

She doesn't need her parents permission. She's her own person.

Its not HER getting her fathers PERMISSION, its the GUY getting her fathers BLESSING, and it's the respectful thing to do when you're asking a girls hand in marriage. This is not sexist in any way dipshit. I know that if a guy proposes to me, he better ask ask for my dad's blessing.

How is it not sexist that the man only has to ask for the father's blessing, and not the mother's or both parents'? Also, it has a lot to do with the history of the tradition being sexist, even if it is not so much so today.

Saying no was stupid. What I'm trying to say is, you're stupid.

They said that because you weren't going out with him anymore and they were trying to make you feel better. YDI for trying to be cool about it. This isnt' really an FML anyway

Why do people say that he should have asked her parents? Lemme get this straight... A woman who lives on her own has a boyfriend, who has to get permission from her parents to marry her? Parents shouldn't have that control in their children's lives.

She deserved for not telling her parents sooner. Btw asking the father is being chivilous. It's a romantic kind of thing nice guys do. It's not "asking" but more of a 1 on 1 with the dad to tell him. It's also curtsey thing to do.

If you marry him, don't ever tell him they said that. If you break up with him, go right ahead.

Your parents actually used the phrase "douchebag" to describe him? I doubt it. Why did you have to wait for them to ask you about him? Are you ashamed about being engaged to him?
