Today, my boyfriend went to the beach. His parents relentlessly tried to hook him with other girls, all the while knowing that we're dating. Their reasoning is that I'm not a 'real girlfriend.' FML

Today, my boyfriend's parents decided that I was untrustworthy and that if they ever saw him with me he'd be heavily punished. They're travelling hundreds of miles just to make sure he stays in the house and doesn't talk to me. FML

Today, my ex-girlfriend was having lunch with my parents. Believing she was in love with me and feeling the same, I dropped by. My parents told me that she’s their friend and that she has a boyfriend that they approve of, all while telling me I was never good enough for her. FML

Today, I met my boyfriend's parents. Later on, his mom pulls me aside and tells me to back off, saying he will never marry someone like me and he should be with a nice girl like his ex. They broke up after he found her in his bed with his roomate. FML

Today, I found out that my boyfriend of 16 months has had an "internet-only" girlfriend since before we got together, but she wasn't ever "real" to him, so he didn't think it would get in the way. FML

Today, I met my boyfriend's parents. We've been dating for almost 5 months and are extremely in love. His mom basically said to me, "I want what’s best for my son and you aren’t it." FML

Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML

tell them that they're not real parents if they don't support his decisions.

Break up with him. All that Romeo and Juliet business is crap. Not getting along with your significant others' family is a pain in the ass.

The question is: How did your bf react to his parents' comments and behavior?

Well if your boyfriend really cares about you then he will stand up for you, and not worrie about other girls. Who knows, it might be a good test for your relationship.

YDI for allowing other people to have a say in your relationship. Not everyone has to like you. If your boyfriend cares for you, and doesn't act on their attempts, you have absolutely nothing to complain about. And did it ever occur to you that they don't think you have a 'real' relationship because that's the message your boyfriend is sending them? If that's the case, YDI for being oblivious.
