Congrats

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff

Today, after constant avoidance, I saw the man who slept with my mother and caused my parents to get divorced. I desperately wanted to punch him in the face, but instead I had to smile and shake his hand as he gave me my diploma. FML

I hate to be 'that person' but I'd be more angry at your mum because she's the one who cheated? I mean, she didn't have to do that.

Oh God, that's horrible. Congratulations on your graduation, though! Maybe afterward you can beat him up in the parking lot.

That's when you stomp on his toes and calmly walk off

should have took the diploma with one punched him with the other then ran off stage with a thumbs up haha

Definitely a FYL, and the guy's a prick, but your mother also made the decision to cheat.

Good for you OP on being the better person!!

Idk how OP could've possibly deserved this

I wouldn't say op deserves it, but they also seem to want to pin everything on this guy. He was NOT the reason for the divorce, op, he's just the one that you aren't emotionally attached to so you can have an easier time blaming him. Unless you are willing to hit your mother, you are hypocritical to be willing to hit him. Your mother was the one who promised to stay loyal to your father, not him.

I could understand YDI votes for one simple reason. OP makes it out that this guy was the sole reason his parents got divorced, instead of blaming the cheating mother.

You've graduated. He can't do anything to you anymore. Time to teach him a lesson.

Now youve got your dipolma, HIT HIS ASS WITH A CAR :D

This man didn't ruin your parents' marriage. That was all on your mother. And believe it or not, your father MAY have contributed to her looking elsewhere. I do understand your resentment though. And congratulations on your graduation.

Hopefully since you graduated you'll never need to see him again.
