Today, my boyfriend and parents went out to dinner. As we started the meal, my boyfriend proposed and the restaurant burst into applause. My mother said without hesitation and a large scowl, "If you say yes, I'm leaving." FML

Hi, FMLer here. The reason my mother said that was because she wanted me to get back together with my first boyfriend, though I've been with my new fiance for 5 years. She never got over me leaving my first and never accepted anyone after. And as you might have noticed in my previous paragraph- I said yes! (And by the way, my father told my mother if she leaves, he'd stay and wouldnt give her the car keys. ;) )

It depends on how long you've been dating and how nice he is. Either way FYL

I think it's great your dad supported you. Your mum's reasons for not liking him are pathetic.. That happened in my family when my parents got married, my snobby grandparents can't stand my mother even though her and dad have been happily married for nearly 20 years. She wasn't even allowed to call them by their first names until after the wedding. Unfortunately, you can't pick your family... so instead live a happy life, and prove her wrong!!!

Listen to your mother. Even if the two of you hate each other, she still knows what's best for you. Even if she hits midlife crisis and reaches a point where she no longer knows what's best for herself, somehow, she still knows what's best for you. Just stay engaged for a while. Stall. Send a hottie his way when you're not around to test his loyalty.

Well, if you really do want to marry him, I hope you looked her in the eyes and said, "Okay, bye then."
