Texting, Parents and Love: Mistaken identity

Mistaken identity

By fmlfmlfml - 20/07/2009 16:03 - United States

Today, my boyfriend and I slept together. In the middle of the night, he saw my phone receiving a text from someone saying, "Hey baby, I missed you so much! I'm going to be visiting in a couple of days, hope to see you again, I love you!" He got mad and left my house. It was my dad in Ohio. FML

Today, I was using my dad's cell because I had broken mine. I was texting my boyfriend all day when my dad needed his phone back. I forgot to tell my boyfriend that my dad would be using the phone. My boyfriend then texted graphically what he wanted to do to my dad. FML

Today, I came home early, and my boyfriend's car was in my driveway. Inside, he was talking to my parents. He walked right past me and left. My mother then says, "He wanted me to tell you it's over." FML

Today, at four in the morning, I was asleep with my boyfriend beside me. I started yelling at him in my sleep and broke up with him. When I woke up, he was gone. FML

Today, my boyfriend picked me up to take me on a date. Just as we were about to drive away, my dad ran out of the house in his underwear and started yelling that he'd kill my boyfriend if I wasn't back home within the hour. FML

Get out

Today, I came back to my boyfriend's house where I've been staying to find all my things thrown outside, ruined, including my entire CD collection, textbooks and clothes cut up. All because I had left my phone there and had got a text from a guy saying, "Hi, how have you been?" FML

Mommy's bravest boy

Today, my ex broke up with me because his mom didn't like me. He was visiting me across the country at the time, and still had a few days left. He had the audacity to still ask to sleep with me. FML

Today, I was at AT&T getting my phone fixed. At one point, the salesman said, "You should see this." It was a text message from some girl apologizing for sleeping with my boyfriend for the past four months, and telling me that they were moving him out of our apartment. FML

Ouch, that sucks! He should have given you a chance to explain :( Seriously, who pressed "YDI"? How does she deserve that in any way?

That just seems weird that your dad says "Hey Baby"... But still, not really a FYL. Show him the sender; he'll be apologizing like crazy.

I don't think you should break up with him, in all honesty, that text didn't really sound like fatherly love. But idk, he'll come around.

Dump him. He's a jealous person, and apparently stupid--wouldn't he notice it was from your dad?

If the parents are divorced and she lives with the mom, it makes sense. He'll be in the city, he hopes to be able to see his baby girl. All normal there, nothing creepy. What's creepy is the BF reading her texts, wtf.

I'd say YDI or FYI depends on what exactly happened. If he immediately bolted out the door, then FYI. If he gave you thirty seconds to explain, then YDI for not showing him the phone number where the text came from.

shouldnt the cell say who just sent the txt, most phones that do that sort of thing. it is pretty weird when ur own father says hey baby, or hope to see u again (what was that his last day or something to ever see u again). this probably is another fake fml

Well, it doesn't say he dumped you, just that he left. So I'm assuming you've had a chance since then to talk to him and show him who sent the text message, and assuming he isn't a complete moron, he should've understood, right?

Uh, I'm 21 and my dad calls me "baby"... Let me get this straight: a father referring to someone who literally WAS at one point his baby is creepy, but referring to a significant other, possibly someone who you have sex with, as your "baby" is completely ok? Sorry but that's like saying a grown woman is weird for calling her father "Daddy" but when she calls her boyfriend that its completely cool.
