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

Today, I got engaged to the most wonderful man in the world. I excitedly called my mom to tell her the great news, thinking she'd be excited too. Her only response? "Oh." FML

My Parents were divorced by the time they were 26. Congratulations!

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.

Unless you did not know your parents were divorced which is highly unlikely, this is quite a boring story. Wait. It's a boring story anyway -.-

This is not even close to an FML. It's not a surprise that your parents are divorced and this doesn't change you or your life one iota.

Well 50% of marriages end in divorce these days the other 50% end in death

Duh he was being totally disrespectful about marriage, which the OP is about to enter into - plus its not like OP wanted to be reminded of her parents divorce when contemplating her own marriage. If you don't get it, don't answer the phone when your daughter calls down the road....

The dad is being realistic. The OP is all dreamy and shit and doesn't want her buzz killed, but guess what, isn't not in the dad job description to only say what his daughter wants to hear.

It is in the job description to not be a dick and rain on your daughter's parade.
