Today, I was out and was having a wonderful time. At exactly midnight, I get a call from my father. He's divorcing my mother. He's also going to Florida with his mistress for the weekend. If that wasn't the best news ever, he'd love if I found an apartment to live in ASAP. FML

Problem: Mistress Solution: Run over the mistress. Problem: Solved

Your response: "I'm not going to alter my living arrangements on the fly so it will be more convenient for you and your mistress to set up your love nest ASAP. It will take some time. You will need to be patient and remember that you're supposed to be my father and look out for my well-being. "

That would have been a much more gentle conversation if he'd told you in person, and not on the phone while you were having fun. I think the worst part about it is the way it was approached.

Dude, that's terrible. I don't know how parents can get into divorce, without thinking of how the kids would feel. Here's a solution that may work though: 1) Meet up with a twin you didn't know you had at a camp. 2) Switch places and go back to live with your mom. 3) Get them to meet up and fall in love again. 4) Get them to marry. Happy Ending for the win.

What a father, sounds like my friends dad, his mom died and his dad got married within the year and within 6 months of that when he was just 14 his dad went and signed a loan for an apartment and had him live there then dropped paying his rent and board when he was 16 because it was legal for him to have a job. You should rip your dad a new asshole (figuratively not literally). But I would do something really nasty, but also something that would leave him with guilt...

Disown your father, in public, when he's surrounded by people who know him, and respect him. Remind him that, at least your mother instilled you with enough manners to do devastating things in person, and not over the phone like him. If they decide to get married, do it then.

Sorry man, my friend's dad did something like that. And sorry to say but your dad is a perfect asshole. Wait for when him and his mistress do... you know what I mean... while you're hiding in the closet, the come out with a sledge-hammer and scare the f*ck out of them. Then start randomly bashing stuff (especially the things he likes/ are worth alot of money) just to make him realize how selfish he was. If he gets angry and tries to do anything, tell him, with an angry/maniac voice ''I have the sledge, so don't try anything or you'll regret it!!!''. Then proceed to make holes in the walls, bust the door, run outside and try to hit his car or his mistress' car (or both) as hard as you can. Then tell him ''This represents visually what you did to me and mom''. If he doesn't care, as no remorse, or tries anything against you, get adopted by your mom's boyfriend when she gets one, because your dad is a complete selfish-asshole-moron. Oh and, throw the sledge-hammer through a window (and make sure you don't hit anyone).

I just imagined that... yes it's hilarious.

Maybe if your mom was a good woman to your dad he wouldn't be leaving her for a woman that actually is. *sniff* WAH daddy is making you be an adult. That totally sucks. To all the people that say he should be nurturing because he's the daddy - what the hell is wrong with you? Once the ADULT is 18 they are no longer nor should they be a parents responsibility. He did the right thing by waiting until the kid was an adult before springing this. "Divorce is hard on kids" He can't exactly kick out a child under 18, so if this person is mature and well developed then it shouldn't be more than a "Wow that sucks" Why is everyone assuming the dad is the bastard? Most men (note MOST not ALL) only cheat because their woman sucks at being a wife. Grow up.

I'm unclear what w/r/t is supposed to mean. Are you referring to my pre-emptive disclaimer?

what if she was a good woman? Guy still cheat even if the woman was a good wife. Don't be such an asshole

Right. Because every single 18 year old is completely capable of securing employment gainful enough to guarantee them a sustainable living from month to month. Forget the fact that most are still in High School 7+ hours a day, have no degree, work minimum wage part-time jobs at best, and have no reliable means of transportation - much less enough in the bank account to cover first, last and security deposit for an "ASAP" move to a new apartment. We become "legally" an adult at 18 in America, but by no means does that mean parents are supposed to stop being parents on their offspring's 18th birthday.

All I hear are excuses. When I moved out I had been working for a while and SAVING money because I was RESPONSIBLE. Gods forbid we expect other people to be responsible as well. Too bad, he has a right to kick her out and she should have damn well thought about it before she turned 18.

You are absolutely right about America's tendencies to encourage people to be irresponsible, and about my delivery. I find the lack of willingness to be an adult infuriating so when people bitch and complain about how much their life sucks I see no reason to be nice about it. Personally I find a verbal slap upside the head quite fruitful, rather than babying the whiner with "Aw, I'm sorry! You're life totally sucks! Sadface!"

Actually, most guys cheat because there's something their wife won't do sexually (like give ********). Women are more likely to cheat due to emotional reasons. Just thought I'd point that out.

Actually, men have been known to cheat because their woman stops acting like a wife after huge things like marriage or kids are born. They get so "busy" they stop treating their husband like the king he was before they got married/made a baby. So a guy comes across a woman WILLING to do that and he finds himself cheating.

How is it that people blame the woman even when it is the man that did something that is morally wrong. She isnt able to give as much time because she has many other responsibilities, its the same phenomena where men stop treating their wives to expensive things and the kind of "wooing" they were used to before marraige, in the dating phase. Its a natural phase of life, DEAL WITH IT!

Yeah, but in this instance it wasn't the woman leaving the man.

yeah, he left her, but how do you know he left her because she was not being a good wife? people need to take responsibility for their own actions instead of saying i cheated because of him or her. I would have said the same thing if she was leaving him. There is no excuse for cheating, ever.

There's no excuse for being a shitty wife either. Frankly I'm sure it was the two of them, she made him miserable and he made a bad choice by cheating. I'm just saying to all the people that think "oh poor mom" should probably consider the more likely option of "mom sucked".

no, if she sucked tht does not excuse his behaviour still. thats like saying if someone comes n robs u, u go n rob them back instead of notifying the police n letting them deal with it. Even if she made a miserable wife he had the option of getting a divorce n then looking for another relationship, instead of finding a better woman n then ditching the one he had. I dont know why u seem to be so big on excusing cheating, i dont know if u have done it urself or what it is. but as far as i know two wrongs dont make a right, n she cud have been a great wife n he cud still cheat, U dont know if she was being a horrible wife or a good wife, wat we do know is that he cheated, which is wrong, atleast according to me, if cheating is right according to you there is not much i can say to change ur thoughts or values.

First of all... your comparison sucks. Compare apples to apples genius. Also, at what point did I say cheating was ok? The only point I was making is that everyone assume the dad is an ass when usually he is driven to do such a horrible thing because he isn't getting anything like love or affection at home. Third, the personal attack is cheap and has no place in this argument, but no I have never cheated and I would never condone cheating if it was done to me because I have no intention of driving my man to that point. The point is - the kid is a bitch for whining about being forced to be a responsible adult and that people need to consider other options like the dad isn't entirely to blame. For the record, I'm done responding to this argument. Once people start using chatspeak because they are too lazy to type two extra letters to spell a word properly, it's dead.

i see, so you are saying that if you do everything right your man would never cheat, so in essence everytime a guy cheats it is his wife/gf's fault because she is not doing something right. man, what a genius thought, n here all the stupid women throughout history have been suffering through cheating when all they had to do is change themselves, gee i wonder why cheating hasnt been fully eliminated if its that simple. if only all the women listened to you and did exactly as their husband/bf wanted them to do.... as for the personal comment, i believe it was needed because look how u reacted when the topic came onto u, it is very easy to say the wife sucked when its someone else, "I would never condone cheating if it was done to me because I have no intention of driving my man to that point" this is exactly what every woman thinks, that it wouldnt happen to them if they do things right, no one goes into a relationship with the intention of driving their partner out. As for the original post it just says the dad has a mistress, n nothing abt the mom making him miserable, so why would anyone say the mom sucked? it is logical for ppl to blame the dad when hez the one acting a jerk in the post. I believe you reciprocated my personal comment with a comment abt grammer and spelling, so am sorry, Ms. holier than thou, but you dont get any awards for sainthood today ;)

Ok, wow. Once again, you have completely missed the point. I said I would never CONDONE cheating because I wouldn't behave in a way that would drive a man to it. Of course there are men who cheat regardless just because they're dogs. Which is why I wouldn't condone it! I also never said women go into the relationship with intentions of driving their spouse to cheat - that doesn't mean they don't DO it! The personal comment was NOT necessary despite your assertion that it was. My reaction has nothing to do with me personally other than my beliefs (supported by statistics and fact and not fancy like you seem to prefer). AGAIN, and I need you to reeeaaaaallllly pay attention here, I was making the point that people need to consider other situations rather than instantly demonizing the dad. The personal comment I made was in no way influencing the discussion therefore your comment was still inappropriate as a tool because withinin an argument it has no place. Also, I don't get any rewards? Why, child, my reward is that you actually spelled better most of the time instead of using chatspeak the whole time. See? You can learn. Please actually read and understand what I have to say this time? It might make you look less... counter intuitive.

I dont know which stats you read, but common sense tells me that the woman is not always at fault. as for using chatspeak, buddy, this is internet, no one is using formal language here but this is not their workplace, or a formal setting. despite my obvious spelling and grammar mistakes u seem to be understanding my words so i dont see any problem in it. and you do admit that some men do cheat just because they are dogs, so how do u know that this is not one of those cases? ppl only see what they are shown and what is seen in this post is that the guy cheated, so obviously people will blame the dad, its a simple idea really, i dont know why u r insisting people blame the mom. I dont know if the situation will suddenly seem better to you if the mom is blamed, since it will prove all your theories right. but since you cant seem to let it go n r so desperate to blame a woman w/o any evidence of her misbehaviour, fine, i blame the mom, she sucked. hope that made your day. i know you said you wudnt reply but ofcourse you did, but i wont be replying to this post again, because this conversation is growing tedious, and i seem to have realized the stupidity of wasting my time arguing with you, when i have other important things to do. So, good day to u. p.s.: The mom sucked ok? dont be sad, your theories were correct, the woman was the one at fault

lol your point is so invalid it makes me want to cry think about what you sayed and i qoute ,somtimes men cheat becuse the wife sucked dont demonize the dad end qoute. do you realize that your speaking far out of your jurasiton no comment was made on the wifes behavior . btw i hate to dissregard your flaud statements but 18 year olds can provide for themselfs so aborbtly had she ben give 3 to 4 mounths notice to get a job then mabye remmber even a high number of college grads are unemployed untill the economy holds its own no teen or early adult will parents should still be parents.
