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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I happily told my parents that my boyfriend proposed to me last night. My dad's response? "Marry that goofy bastard and you're out of the will." FML
Today, I got engaged. I called my mom and told her. "You didn't say yes, did you?" she said. Afterwards, I told my dad. "Uh, Congratulations. But, I have questions." Thanks guys. FML
Today, I learned my 40 year old father is marrying a girl barely a year and a half older than me. She told me not to be afraid to call her mom. I was torn between punching her in the face and vomiting. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. I was about to call my parents and tell them we're getting married, but they called me first to announce they're getting a divorce. FML
Today, I found out that my father asked my best friend to marry him. He's 38 and we're 18. She said yes. FML
Today, I called my mother to tell her that I got engaged. In the 15 minute conversation that followed, 13 were spent listening to how this is going to affect her. FML
Today, my dad got so drunk that he proposed to me. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my dad. I thought it was a good idea at the time, at least until he took her aside for a private chat. During the chat, he told her all about my two previous marriages and advised her to "get out while you can". 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
Today, my boyfriend asked me to marry him. When I happily told my dad, he kept asking if I'd consider taking back my ex. 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.

This is an FML because the father said something horribly inappropriate. It's a matter of tact. You NEVER talk about divorce when someone tells you about their upcoming marriage. The way that when a friend excitedly tells you about their pregnancy, you don't start talking about the abortion you had and how glad you were to have it. It's just really inappropriate. And tells people you are socially retarded. It reminds me of a story I read where a random stranger gave the bride-to-be (at her bachelorette party dinner) divorce advice since "your marriage will probably fail." Yeah. Just rude. And really, really not cool.

I'm surprised you didn't know when your parents got divorced. I know when my parents got divorced, how old they were, how old I, and my three siblings were, and how long they had been married. And I was eight when it happened. You certainly don't sound like you're 30, you sound like Kim Possible.

Why does being almost 30 necessitate a short engagement?

Yeah, definitely not the right time to bring that up, but it isn't really an FML.
