Today, my parents told me about how they met. I'd already known they were eight years apart, but I never knew my dad started dating my mom when he was 21 and she was 13. 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

Today, my dad told me he was planning to have his steady girlfriend over for dinner. He's only had a few relationships since he and my mom split up when I was very young, so I was excited to meet the woman. He then told me that I knew her already. My dad is dating my aunt on my mothers side. FML

Today, when my dad said he was dating a woman he met at his retirees social club, I assumed it was a woman also in her 60s. Nope. Barmaid. A whole 42 years younger than him, 9 years younger than me. FML

Today, my dad casually mentioned my half-sister in conversation. He had her out of wedlock when he was only 13. NEWS TO ME, HE'S NEVER MENTIONED I HAVE A HALF-SISTER BEFORE AND I'M FREAKING 22 YEARS-OLD. Apparently he and mom thought I knew, and just forgot to tell me. FML

Today, I asked my mom to tell me how she met my dad, because after 15 years me and my dad are finally working on our relationship. My mom thought it was a good time to tell me he’s not my father, and that my biological father wants to meet me this week. 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

That's... wow. The fact that they actually stayed together up until now is a miracle in itself.

My dad was 30 when he hooked up with his second wife who was 15 at the time. They still together after 36 years. Just saying. (it was in Europe in the 70's tho.)

That just proves that our prejudices are not 100% correct. Sure, in most cases it is wrong for a 21 years old to date a 13 years old, in most cases the 13 y.o. will end up heartbroken, if not worse, but sometimes it does work out well. It's stupid to call him a pedophile. Pedophiles are attracted to prepubescent children. At 13 y.o., that girl had already gone through puberty and probably looked like a 16 year old at least. Of course she didn't have a mature brain, but 21 y.o. guys have the brains of a 15 y.o. when it comes to relationships.

I met my now boyfriend when I was 14 (it was a part of a big group of people who liked the same interest). We developed a friendship because we are similar, and when I was 15 and him was 24 he asked to go out. I didn't feel atracted so I said no, and we continued being friends. When I was 17 we got close again, and he asked another time, but I said no because I was in another relationship in the time. When I was 20 (and him 29), when I came back from a foreing country, both of us fell really hard for each other. We have be dating more than a year and a half, and I've never been feel pressured for sex, to the point that I thought (now I know I was wrong) that he didn't find me atractive! XDDD. So even if I would have said yes when I was 15, he wouldn't have pressured me.

well in that case your stupid (I haven't read any other comments so don't kill me for saying this) because that's 7 years. I would know because, I had the same age difference and believe me 7 years sounds a lot better than 8(: that's all(:
