Texting, Parents and Love: Mistaken identity

Mistaken identity

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, 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.

Oh my gosh you guys .... it's not bad that her dad calls her baby ..my dad does as well, it's not creepy! And maybe he wrote "I hope to see you again" because he knows she's a busy lady and she might not be able to see him ??

My father calls me Babygirl and I still call my father Daddy. I'm 22 and I don't live with my father and sometimes he text's me in the middle of the night because that's when he gets off of work. In all honesty, I don't think her father doing that was weird at all, I also think the FML was more because her boyfriend flipped when it was just her dad.

so you made this fml so your boyfriend could see it and maybe then believe the lie that your father sent it

Well why didn't you SAY that? It doesn't take longer than how long it takes for him to leave. : /

He probably left before she could tell him or show him the contact information to prove that it was her father.

My pop calls me baby.... I'm married lol... And maybe she had him in her phone as "daddy" (that's what I call my husband), so it could be mistaken for a lover. Or something weird like a nickname, or his real name. I dunno my dad is "Pop" in my phone... but my sister has his real name.

This! I have both my parents cell phones under their names (AKA not mom or dad), and from looking at a text or call log from them, if you didn't know if was my parents, why would you not just think it's some random person or something?

If you wouldn't believe the woman you loved if the same situation came up in your life, especially if she had never lied to you and this was the first time anything like this had happened, you really have trust issues. Sure, some girls are lying ****** who cheat on their boyfriends, but not all of them are.

Aw, that sucks, but I'm sure you can clear it all up with your boyfriend. And just to be clear, a father calling his child "baby" is completely normal. Also, I have my parents saved as their real names on my phone, not "Mom" or "Dad". Perhaps she did the same thing, and her dad showed up as an actual name instead of "Dad".

I agree with those who seem to understand that father's call their children baby...my dad calls be babydoll all the time, I'd find it weird if he gave me any other salutation. It's not creepy, those who think so obviously don't understand that its totally something that happens, it'd be weird if he'd said something actually come on like but calling you baby is just an endearing name!
