Today, I called my dad to tell him my boyfriend had proposed to me, and that we're planning on being married this summer. He was surprised at the short engagement, so I said, "Well, we're almost 30." Dad replied, "Wow, I left your mom when I was 35!" So not the conversation for that information, Dad. FML

Today, I learned my 40 year old father is marrying a girl barely a year and a half older than me. She told me not to be afraid to call her mom. I was torn between punching her in the face and vomiting. FML

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my dad. I thought it was a good idea at the time, at least until he took her aside for a private chat. During the chat, he told her all about my two previous marriages and advised her to "get out while you can". FML

Based on his inability to determine appropriate versus inappropriate comments, I advise you not to let your Dad have the microphone to say a toast at your wedding reception.

This is an FML because the father said something horribly inappropriate. It's a matter of tact. You NEVER talk about divorce when someone tells you about their upcoming marriage. The way that when a friend excitedly tells you about their pregnancy, you don't start talking about the abortion you had and how glad you were to have it. It's just really inappropriate. And tells people you are socially retarded. It reminds me of a story I read where a random stranger gave the bride-to-be (at her bachelorette party dinner) divorce advice since "your marriage will probably fail." Yeah. Just rude. And really, really not cool.

I'm surprised you didn't know when your parents got divorced. I know when my parents got divorced, how old they were, how old I, and my three siblings were, and how long they had been married. And I was eight when it happened. You certainly don't sound like you're 30, you sound like Kim Possible.
