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

Feelings

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.

Ah damn phone closed app- I mean "another bastard" to him, and it's better to get it out, so you can move on and find someone who respects you.

Good fatherly advice, but moms are usually better to talk to(:

My mom would've said something like; " ... you wonder why you'll never be married" Or my all time favorite "you are your fathers daughter..." So I personally disagree (:

It's ok(: I guess it's the opposite to me but everyone has a certain parent they usually confide in. If that makes sense?

A perfect demonstration of the fact that having a daughter doesn't magically insulate you from misogyny.

WTF are you talking about?

It's the dislike of women or girls. But #31 doesn't make any sense. Why would the dad, a man, have to be insulated from people who dislike women? No logic there. Or maybe what #31 meant to say is that it doesn't make the dad immune to being misogynistic himself, but I didn't see anything explicitly misogynistic about what he said.
