Today, my dad told me I needed to "hurry up and find someone to marry" so my kids wouldn't end up "screwed up" from being raised by a single mom. Their dad died six months ago from Covid. Yes, he knows this. FML

Today, I found out my dad is dating my dead mom's best friend. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he likes to do things the old-fashioned way, and that he wouldn't propose to me without my father's blessing. My dad died 3 years ago, and he knows it. FML
Today, my mother casually told me she’s been seeing someone for the past 3 months. My dad passed away 2 years ago. They were together for 40 years. Suddenly she had to get off the phone with me because her “guy she’s been talking to” was calling. Hence I’m on the wine. FML
Today, my father publicly announced his engagement to his new girlfriend. My mom passed away not even eight months ago. FML
Today, I found out that my dad and mom, who just passed away, were never married and that my siblings and I weren't actually his. Now there's the very real possibility that we could be taken away. I'll die if that happens. FML
Today, I found out that my father, who very recently lost his wife, decided that drunkenly hitting on my long-time boyfriend's mom was a good idea. FML
Today, my dad had a chat with my fiancé, telling him he can do better than me, and to think carefully before going through with our wedding. FML

Today, my dad used to be suspicious of boys like all dads are, but just now he kicked me, actually kicked me up the ass, to get me out of the house for a date. His parting words were, "You’re 32 years-old and still living with me. Marry him, marry anybody, please, before I’m dead." FML
Today, my parents told me they're getting a divorce because of all the strain caused by me nearly dying in an accident. FML

Was your dad raised by a single mom himself? Because he sounds mightily screwed up.

What is wrong with this comments section? Give the poster some room to grieve... and really whether they want to date again at all is their decision and nobody else's.

I'm sorry for your loss. That said, it is important to get right back up on the horse, so to speak. It's very easy for a woman with children to find a man to marry, but you don't want to delay and have to settle for someone as sensitive as your dad.

Well, to be honest, I'm too good-looking and I tip too generously. Other than that, I'm pretty close to perfect. I want to express to you my gratitude for this chance at self-reflection.

Dads not wrong, dating is only going to get harder the longer you wait.
