Today, I confided to my dad that my girlfriend had dumped me for another guy. He said, "Good" and explained that given how overpopulated the planet is, he's actually disappointed that I'm not gay. His advice was, "Just wank it off and move on." FML

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

Dad of the day

Today, my dad is disappointed in me because I came to him for advice on how I should tell my girlfriend I don’t feel ready for sex yet. He just looked at me, shook his head, and walked away. Later he sent my mom to ask me if I’m gay. 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, I went to my father for advice. I've been seeing a wonderful girl for the past month, and I feel terrible about it, because I already have a girlfriend. He said "Kill yourself" and that if I "can't even do that right" then to get out of his house, because he disowns me. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because of my dad constantly hitting on her. Not because she was disgusted, but because she wants to date him. FML

I think your dad is trying to tell you something. What that something is I don't know.

Your dad sounds cool! Well, much better than my mom. She just gives advice when all I want is to be comforted. I guess you just wanted to be told you're still lovable too. Sometimes parents can't really see that, and they feel if they coddle you they will only be setting you up for further heartbreak when the world doesn't coddle you back. Anyway, whatever the reason he didn't address your pain, I'm sure he means well by trying to have a sense of humor about it. You should show him that you wrote an FML about it. I think he will do a doubletake and feel ashamed when he realizes it isn't that funny to you.
