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

That's creepy, dude
Today, I'm 20 years-old and I was propositioned by a 42 year-old man, who turned out to be my dad's friend who helped care for me when I was 2 to 7 years-old. FML

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, it was my wedding day. With my best friend as the priest, she asked, "Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" After saying I do, she then turned to him and asked, "Do you want to bang my friend?" Everyone laughed, except my already disapproving father. FML

Today, I asked out the man of my dreams. He told me he'd have to ask his dad if it was OK. I thought he was just kidding, until he pulled out his phone and called his dad. After a few minutes of "Come on, Dad" and "But why?" he hung up and said his dad wouldn't let him. He's 22. FML

Today, my dad is getting married for the 4th time. First it was my mom, then as they got older, he married a woman 10 years his junior, then his third wife was my age and 28 years his junior. Now at the grand old age of 64, he is marrying a 22 year old, 42 years his junior, almost 2 decades younger than me. FML
Congrats?
This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff

Congrats!
Today, I discovered that my father is getting married. Overjoyed and confused because I didn't know he was dating, I called him up to congratulate him, and ask who she was. Apparently, his soon to be fiancée is my mother-in-law. My wife is not happy. FML

I have no moral problem with age differences (considering I prefer older men myself), however I would have a huge problem if one of my parents married my best friend or married someone my age. Age differences aren't necessarily "wrong" but they do have social complications whether or not people admit it. Age isn't always "just a number" when it comes to these situations. I prefer older men but I'd never marry one with kids, especially kids my own age.

Well, if it isn't this FML again. Honestly, this has to be one of the most commonly repeated FML scenarios.

38 is fairly young to have an 18 year old kid. Not impossibly young, but still young. Anyway, I agree with #85, the issue with partners with large age differences is social acceptance, but there's nothing actually morally wrong with it. 20 year isn't an INCONCEIVABLE age difference, after all. However, because she's peers with you, and in fact best friends with you, it definately creates issues with the family dynamic.

Oh, also, if they weren't previously dating/courting each other (which I imagine they weren't else you probably would have mentioned it) that IS creepy. Like he just proposed out of the blue and she just accepted out of the blue, and you had no clue that it was coming?

That's disgusting. If I was a friend of yours, I would totally help you break up their relationship. It seems like your father is in it for her age, while she is in it for his money. Gross!

I don"t see anything wrong with the age difference, because I like older men myself (I'm 18), but I would be completely wierded out if one of my friends and my dad became a couple. I guess the best thing you can do is talk to her about it, but if she and your dad love each other, then thats their buisness.

okay #92 So you like middle aged man huh

I think you should talk to her about it, or talk to your dad about it. That is creepy.... and weird. I don't care about the age difference... That's no big. It's just the respect your best friend gives back to you that shocks me... What i mean by this is that she should take in mind how YOU feel.. she's acting like the entire world revolves around herself and your father. Talk to them, see what they say, and like #92 says, if they are in love, don't push it, because that is their business
