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 .

Typically the boyfriend asks the fathers permission to marry his daughter... So, this is either fake or your boyfriend now fiancé, is a douchebag. So ydi.

That's a reeeally out of date tradition. No one does that anymore, and it's sexist. You don't need daddy's permission to get married.

Wait, he doesn't do one thing and he's a douchebag? and that one thing is just tradition? An unimportant out of date tradition?

1. It's not out of date, most people still do it. 2. It's not sexist in any way. 3. You're a douchebag

Congratulations, Mrs. Douchebag! Good luck getting your parents to pay for the wedding! Those motherfuckers are more expensive than you can imagine. You are from a dysfunctional family. In normal families, children call their parents to tell them when they get engaged; it is not usually extracted over casual dinner conversation. I hope you and Mr. Douchebag have a lot of little Douchebags!

What's up with all the retards today? If you love him, that's all that matters. You're the one marrying him, not your parents.

she wasn't being dishonest, you morons. she was trying to find a "cute" way to tell her family that she got engaged. granted, it was a huge failure, but her family jumped the gun and started in on him before she finished. it's sad because her family is probably right.

You set yourself up for that one. You can't be mad at your parents. Parents always want their child to be married to the best guy on the planet. It doesn't happen. You need to grow up and have a good heart to heart with them. Alone. Good luck. It will be ok.

I think the tradition of the guy asking his gf's dad for permission to marry has changed, now its more like the couple tells both sets of parents that they're going to get married.

Talking to the parents doesn't necessarily mean you're 'askin for permission.' Of course you're going to ask the girl first, but speaking with the family to get their blessing is always a good way to start things off imo. It doesn't mean you're asking the father for the daughter, it just means you want his blessing...and if you don't get it, oh well, you tried, the marriage will still happen. Stop assuming that asking the father is like using the daughter as his property, cause she isn't, you guys will make you're own decisions, but the tradition of getting the blessing is always a good one to hold to.

-_- You assume that her parents are extremely wise and know what things will likely cause problems for the OP in the future. Maybe he has some traits that her mother wouldn't be able to stand but she loves. Different people.
