Today, I called my dad to tell him my boyfriend had proposed to me, and that we're planning on being married this summer. He was surprised at the short engagement, so I said, "Well, we're almost 30." Dad replied, "Wow, I left your mom when I was 35!" So not the conversation for that information, Dad. FML

Based on his inability to determine appropriate versus inappropriate comments, I advise you not to let your Dad have the microphone to say a toast at your wedding reception.

The point is that instead of being happy for his daughter, he had to be a buzzkill and talk about when he divorced because of his age at the time of the divorce being so close to the age she is now/when she is getting married.

actually it gets pretty complicated at times if they are divorced, or seperated or whatever

Really. You didn't already know this? FYL for being 30 and just finding out your parents are divorced. Congratulations though!

I don't think it's the "so" as the conjunction between two clauses but the adverb "so" to show emphasis, especially in an informal context like this one. i.e.) That was SO not cool.

I think it is more likely the OP didn't know how old her parents were at the time of their divorce, if she knows their ages at all.

Kill him by the time he turns 35, that way he won't be able to divorce you~!

Probably because you don't seem to be able to comprehend spelling and grammar.

Short engagement -> quick divorce. You might even beat your dad's record.
