Love: Today, I came home crying after my boyfriend dumped me for another...

Today, I came home crying after my boyfriend dumped me for another girl. My dad told me to come tell him what was wrong. I sat down and let it all out, after which he looked up from his book, into my eyes, and gave me his loving advice: "Just cry about it and move on to another bastard." FML

Today, after being dumped by my boyfriend of two years, I poured my heart out to my dad. He nodded and looked sympathetic throughout. Afterwards, I asked him what I should do. He replied, "How the hell should I know?" and awkwardly left my room. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 6 months broke up with me. I was crying for over an hour in my room. My dad came in and asked what was wrong. Just as I was about to tell him, he stops me and simply says "Oh, honey. I don't care... Just keep the noise down." Then walks out. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. I came back home in tears, and eventually told my dad what was wrong. He immediately excused himself to the living room, where I heard him tell my mum, "She's gone all Taylor Swift again." FML

Today, I told my dad that I broke up with my first serious girlfriend. He responded by blaring sad breakup songs as loud as he could throughout the house, just to see me "cry like a bitch". FML

Today, I came home in tears over finding out my boyfriend has been cheating on me. I told my seemingly sympathetic dad everything. His advice was to lure them both to our house with the promise of a three-way, after which he'd "kill the shit" out of them. Real mature, dad. FML

Today, I was telling my dad how my boyfriend dumped me yesterday. He responded by blowing his nose into his hand, wiping it in my hair, then saying "There, a REAL problem to whine about." FML

Today, my parents told me, after 30 years of marriage, that they are getting a divorce. I went to my boyfriend's apartment because I needed some comfort. While sobbing to him, he decided to dump me on the spot because my reaction to the news was "immature" and he wants an "adult" relationship. FML

You know, your dad is right. And every guy will be "another bastard" until the right guy proves him wrong.

I agree with his words. Cry about it, but truth is u gotta move on. It will take time. But it will be so worth it!

He's right and no matter how much you protest chances are that's what you're going to do anyway. What do you expect him to say? "I'll beat up the guy"-he'll get arrested and he won't come back to you anyway.

Hey he's better than some dads on FML, and as far as his meaning (though I can't say much for his phrasing) he's right. Plus it sounds like your dad actually gives a damn about you, good for you :)

Dad cuts to the chase! We are all bastards or wimps. The trick is to find a manageable bastard and not one of the many rotten ones.

Was this after your boyfriend told you the girl just got dumped and she suckered him into cheering her up?

I'll presume you're 15, and this was your first BF. Teen romance relationships, on average, have less than a 3-week duration. Get used to the break-ups.
