Today, I asked my dad for advice. I recently got drunk and had a one-night stand. I feel terrible, because I'm engaged to a wonderful lady. My dad just said, "You did the right thing, son, keep it up. She's gonna steal half ya shit in the divorce anyway". FML

Yeah, you should feel terrible. F your fiancé's life. She deserves better. Also, being drunk isn't an excuse.

dude you're ****** whichever way you go about. You made your bed and slept in it with a stranger. let hope the best for you and your wife to be. Oh and being drunk isnt an excuse.

Christ, what an asshole. Hey, whaddayaknow, it works for every FML as well as every new yorker cartoon. if their life is ******, their aggressor is the asshole, if they brought it on themselves, like anon, then they're the asshole. handy, that.

Your first mistake was drinking. Alcohol is for stupid scumbag people. You probably don't deserve the woman you are with anyway so you may as well tell her and hopefully she will break up with you and possibly find someone who actually knows what the words commitment, responsibility, dedication or being faithful means. Also, your dad is right about what he said. Marriage means nothing nowadays anyway so what's the point. If she doesn't want to break up with you then you should make sure you spend every minute of your day thinking of ways to make her happy. If you don't tell her you are simply a disgrace to her, yourself, and the rest of humanity.

Only part I disagree with is the alcohol is only for scumbags, in fact, some of us know how to hold our Liquor and not being shit faced and use it responsibly. Moderation and knowing ur limits is important

If you need any substance to feel good it is just being greedy, life itself is a blessing and we are lucky with each breath we take. Alcohol is the stem of much misfortune, tragedy and suffering. Even if you think you are drinking responsibly you are encouraging other's to drink who may not be as good as you. This world would be a much better place without it.

Marriage does mean something for the people who are faithful and remain faithful. It's jackasses like the OP who get divorced and become statistics. There's not only tax benefits but security in if something happens to your partner. If you're not married, it can just create a slew of problems. So marriage does have a purpose, you just sound bitter, #42.

50, I don't need alcohol to have fun and I never get drunk. In fact I absolutely hate the feeling of the alcohol starting to take effect and usually conter that point with a couple glasses of water. That doesn't mean I refuse to drink at all, I do join in with a drink to clink glasses on social gatherings. I don't think there is any way at all that that makes me a bad person. It also doesn't mean I encourage others to drink. I don't shove drinks in their faces. most of the time I'm the one that is getting drinks shoved at me from the people around me. And you know what, being an adult and capable of taking responsibility for my own actions, I have no problem declining drinks when I don't want them.

YDI for cheating. Being drunk is not an excuse. Your fiancee deserves better than you.

Tell your fiancée the truth. She deserves to know

You should really think about telling your fiancé. And even though you don't want to admit it there was a part of you that wanted to cheat and the alcohol just gave you the leeway you needed. You need to examine why you did it in the first place cause humans are creatures of habit and if you did it once, you may do it again. Your choice is live with the lie or come clean. Good luck and I hope everything works out for the best.

haha he is right you know.... Divorce rate in america is now 65% of couples, That is alot...

Although I think you're a dick for cheating on her (as many others said being drunk is no excuse), I think you shouldn't tell her. If you genuinely regret it and know you will never do it again, then you have to live with the guilt and be a better man for her. Coming clean would relieve your conscience but make her incredibly unhappy. It's up to you to know which one is worse.

wow what a great dad! I see where you get your ******-upness from, OP :)
