La la land

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I confided to my dad that since the recent breakup with my boyfriend of 3 months, I feel down all the time and life doesn't feel worth living anymore. His loving advice was for me to "grow the fuck up and get your sentimental head out of la-la land." FML

dude i was going out with my bf for three years before he dumped me.i was depressed for like 6months but depressed meaning cant eat cant sleep cant listen to or watch anything w/o thinkn about him..not my life needs to be over depressed..youre krazy lady

Why? That's exactly what my father would have said and he's a wonderful parent because he was never a sycophant to his children, because he said how it was and not just what we wanted to hear, he gave us the gift of perspective. Something many people seem to lack. OP - Yeah, well done, break ups hurt princess. But save the killing yourself for when actual tragedy hits. Not a damn breakup after a three month relationship. You'll thank your Dad for this one day - as I did with mine. He sounds like a brilliant father and you'll be a lot more grounded and rational in the long run for having him in your life.

He is completely right you have only been dating for three months. Get over it and move on, if you let something as little as that get you down you will never make it though life.

She could be a teeny bopper that was crushing on this guy for a few years, & then somehow after actually getting to call him her bf for three months, it all goes down the pooper. If that's the case, then I kinda understand. But her dad & you guys are right... she'll be ok. She just needs to toughen up & know not to get too attached next time until she knows how the guy feels about her.

Wise words from a wise man. Time to suck it up and move on, OP. Three months is not that long of a relationship.

Hehe, this FML reminds me of that Geico commercial, you know, where the man is talking to his therapist. It seems like he almost says the same thing. ;)
