Today, I found out my boyfriend has been cheating on me. My dad noticed my depression and got me to tell him what was wrong. I told him everything, and trusting him to have an intelligent suggestion, I asked him what I should do. He shrugged and said, "Fuck, sue him, I dunno." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I came home in tears over finding out my boyfriend has been cheating on me. I told my seemingly sympathetic dad everything. His advice was to lure them both to our house with the promise of a three-way, after which he'd "kill the shit" out of them. Real mature, dad. FML
Today, I came home in tears after my boyfriend admitted to cheating on me. My dad told me to sit down and tell him everything. He's pretty eccentric, so I wasn't fazed when he put on a pair of sunglasses. When I stopped talking, I noticed his mouth was slightly agape and he was snoring. FML
Today, after being dumped by my boyfriend of two years, I poured my heart out to my dad. He nodded and looked sympathetic throughout. Afterwards, I asked him what I should do. He replied, "How the hell should I know?" and awkwardly left my room. FML
Today, I came home crying after my boyfriend dumped me for another girl. My dad told me to come tell him what was wrong. I sat down and let it all out, after which he looked up from his book, into my eyes, and gave me his loving advice: "Just cry about it and move on to another bastard." FML
Today, I had to tell my boyfriend his dad was sending me inappropriate texts that made me feel uncomfortable. I tried to make him stop, but he kept going until I felt like I needed to tell my boyfriend. Who's now broken up with me because of it. FML
Today, I was confiding in my dad over the phone, after I caught my girlfriend cheating on me. After I hung up and went online, I noticed he'd been live-blogging the whole call on Facebook and commenting that he was considering suicide to escape the boredom. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up after three years. I came home and when my dad asked what was wrong, I told him. His first reaction was, "Well damn it. Who'll go fishing with me now?" FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend has been cheating on me. In tears, I called my best friend and told him everything. He responded with one or two-word answers throughout, but I felt better all the same. That is, until I heard him begin to take a loud piss half-way through my sentence. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend is cheating on me. His excuse was that I never had time for his needs anymore. He’s unemployed but I guess me working and studying to get my degree so we could move out of his parents’ house was too much. Now I have no place to go. FML
Today, I heard my boyfriend talking with my father in the backyard. I thought he was asking for my hand in marriage. He was actually telling him about his plans to break up with me. FML

Even in this situation, the best solution anyone can come up with is to sue. It's a sad sad world.

Maybe dad was expecting an easier dilemma, like how a friend forgot your birthday or someone bought the shoes on sale before you. This may have been a little outside his wheelhouse.

Come on, it's a good idea!(;

I don't think your dad really cared about WHY you were depressed, he just wanted to know that you weren't going to eat all his ice cream or steal all his booze. A lawsuit seems to be a good idea. Just the look on his face when he gets served with the papers that he's being sued for "douchebaggery" and "scumitude" will be worth it.

I've been cheated on by three of my boyfriends and my mother always says, "I wonder why." As if to suggest it's my own fault. I feel ya.

All due respect, but on your profile you kinda imply that all guys just want to **** you. Nice guys aren't attracted to sexism like that. Just sayin'.
pregnantpianist 2
I'm not implying anything. I'm just telling perverted men to **** off. It's pretty simple. Not really anything to read into. I'm sure there are plenty of nice people on here, men included. But I never said anything about all men wanting to **** me. I'm not a conceited bitch, thank you.

Perverts do seem to congregate on the internet.
pregnantpianist 2
Exactly. I'm just trying to ward them off before they appear. Ya know?
dominic1221 6
Yeah... and they come in all genders and sexual orientations. But okay, your other comment on here wasn't also stereotyping men at all, so whatever. /sarcasm
pregnantpianist 2
Ya know, if you're gonna be rude you can kindly **** off too. Fancy that. I wasn't being a bitch til you got rude.

I believe we're done here. You've proven to be ignorant. Congratulations.

He should get CateApp (Shark Tank reference!) And silly you, everyone knows men don't feel. Best of luck to you though, miss. I cannot stand people who use others like that. Be strong, and keep your head held high, cause you now you know, he wasn't the guy!

Talk to your mom or one of your girl friends?. Dads' usually don't seem to be emotionally available... :/ sorry op.

True facts. Men hide emotions like it's a skill. I hate it sometimes.
BossPathfinderGM 14
tl/dr version: It's not that men hide emotions, it's that our coping mechanisms are far different. Full version: Typically, when one shares a problem with a woman, said woman's instinctual first "help" reaction is to empathize and comfort: "Oh, sweetie! I'm so sorry! He's such a jerk to do that to you, you don't deserve that!" However, when one shares a problem with a man, his instinctual first "help" reaction is to seek a solution (or at least a resolution) to said problem. "Wow, what a douche! Need me to help you move/kick his ass/come change the lock on the door?"

At least he cared enough to notice, and to ask. Dads are not always known for being good with words, but they love you, and they try.

Why would you ask him what you should do? You know exactly what you should do. I remember not telling anyone all the shit my ex husband used to put me through because I knew exactly what they would tell me and I didn't want to hear it. Well I finally did what I knew I should have done much earlier, and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. And now that he's lost me he hasn't changed. He's still doing the same bull shit to his girlfriends that he used to do to me. Your boyfriend won't change either, because why change for someone you don't care about? And if he's BEEN cheating on you (which indicates to me at least one affair, or several one night stands, rather than one drunken "what the **** did I do last night?" incident) then he does NOT care about you. You should find yourself someone who does.

Your cheating (hopefully ex-) boyfriend is not worth your time. He obviously made a choice to cheat on you. Therefore, you should make the choice to dump him. Theres plenty others out there!
