Oh well that's lovely

He is right. You will see

Thanks for the congratulations, everyone! To be honest, this did happen awhile ago. I did not get married on a Monday. :P And yes, my dad was completely sober... My parents have been married almost thirty years, first/only/forever type thing, and I know it's not always easy. I love my dad to death, I just could not believe he'd actually said that. That seems like something you think or whisper, not pass on in front of your respective spouses. Lol. Oh well!

Created an account to post this, since I was told the same thing when I got married a few years ago. As "bad" as the advice sounds, it's not really meant that way. What he was trying to say was getting married is a lot more than just a ring and being with the same girl forever. You now have somebody who depends on you. Every decision you make affects you both, which needs to now be taken into consideration a lot more seriously. Not to mention all the responsibility that will be coming such as kids, a house, car payments, etc. Just my take on it though, as a married guy myself.

He didnt say this jokingly? That really seems like a joking thing to say.
