Today, my father seems to be having an affair. A used condom was carelessly left on his nightstand and my mother found it. She refuses to believe that my boyfriend and I are not responsible. As punishment I am "no longer allowed to see him." We're both 22 and live together in our own apartment. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad found condoms in my room and kicked me out of the house. I know I’m 22 but I have nowhere to go. When I told him this, he threw a rolling suitcase at me and told me, “You have somewhere to go now - your boyfriend’s house!” I don’t even have a boyfriend, just casual random hookups. FML
Today, while at my boyfriend's house waiting for him to shower, his mother slams a pair of underwear on the table and tells me that if she ever finds something like that in her son's room again, she is forbidding him from seeing me. The underwear isn't mine. FML
Today, my dad caught me having sex with my secret boyfriend, so he threw him naked into the street. I’m 28 years-old and it’s my house. This kind of bullshit is exactly the reason I kept my boyfriend a secret and why I got a mortgage I can barely afford, just so I didn’t live with my dad anymore. FML
Today, my father decided that since he's paying for my flat, he will use it twice a week to have it off with his girlfriend while I'm away. My parents are still together. FML
Today, my dad somehow found some pictures of my boyfriend having sex with some girl and went on a rampage about how pissed he was that he was cheating on me. I had to explain to my parents that I was the girl in the pictures. FML
Today, after I grounded my barely 18 year-old daughter for having sex with her boyfriend when I found a pack of condoms in her room while cleaning it, she responded by moving out and eloping with him. FML
Today, my dad gave my younger brother condoms and a pat on the back, even though he doesn't have a girlfriend. This is after called me a whore after he saw me kissing my long-term boyfriend last week. FML
Today, my mum cleaned my room. When I got home she yelled at me for having condoms. I'm 24 years old and in a long term relationship. FML
Today, my boyfriend met my mom and started acting strange. Then my dad came in and was instantly furious. Apparently, my boyfriend is the guy my mom cheated with that caused my parent's divorce. He’s 3 years younger than I am. Gross mom, just gross. Also I’m single again, damn it. FML
Today, my boyfriend's parents decided that I was untrustworthy and that if they ever saw him with me he'd be heavily punished. They're travelling hundreds of miles just to make sure he stays in the house and doesn't talk to me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well being 22 implies that she has no right to tell you what to do.

Wow op, at least she trusts her husband.
Cass_x 22
.. When she clearly shouldn't
sweetbliss3 37
trust? I'm thinking denial.

I don't see why it was down voted. I never said he was in the right, or that she was right for trusting her husband. You people will down vote anything, I swear.

Calling out the FML community like that is just asking for it though..

41: How long have you been on the Internet? You should know that you're gonna get crap for voicing your opinion, no matter what.
Rkikkas9713 25
I've been on the internet since I was 10, so 8 years. I'm aware of what the internet is full of. If anyone goes against what you say it's WW3

I agree, I've been on this site for years and I've noticed there are a LOT of people with no lives who troll around down voting anything and everything.
Miss_Moody23 19
You want a reason for down voting? It's because the mother having trust in her husband is such a menial thing in the vast disappointment of this girls father cheating. I down voted you for making it seem positive.
think_pink02 4
Seriously tho lol
sassy2085 16
I only read the buried comments anyway. Mmm forbidden fruit :)
candisweets 10
what if it wasnt the husband, maybe it was her and as a way to cover her tracks she blamed her daughter. all is possible especially if she's so insistant it was OP.
Rkikkas9713 25
Why not try to look at the positive things in life instead of dwelling on the bad parts?
Rkikkas9713 25
You people are negative. I suggested looking at the good things in life to make situations better, but you down vote it. This'll be down voted too since you're all wonderful people who don't understand positivity. Oh well.
SBurrke 11
True buts it's a lot worse on this site than others. People seem incapable of taking a joke in certain posts. Bring on the down votes!
milehigh52 22
Why do you care if you get down voted?You voiced your opinion that is all that matters. You getting all upset about getting down voted just makes people want to keep doing it.
kingcaper817 14
That sucks. Maybe get a DNA test on it but that might be extreme but u should try and tell your mom. And If she doesn't believe you oh well cuz you're an adult
allie2590 31
I feel like the reason her mom is being so hard on her is that she knows if the condom doesn't belong to her daughter and boyfriend, it's her husband. Denial.
tantanpanda 26
If OP lives with her boyfriend in their own apartment, I'd tell the mother "fine, when you find out, it isn't my fault". One parent is cheating and the other parent turns the blind eye.
ygdrassil 17
Or maybe it's the mother having the affair and she's trying to pass the buck.

You're 22 live your own life
SeriousJoker72 18
She just said that she does...
shutupshane12 12
No dummy, she said she doesn't live with them
SeriousJoker72 18
She said 'we're both 22 and live together in our own apartment'
BeastyMcbeast 19
I believe #3 is inferring that the mother has no control over Op's life and that Op doesn't need to listen to her and can do anything she wants therefore "living her own life". He wasn't referring to the fact she lives in a seperate apartment.
chosha_fml 27
I doubt OP ever considered not seeing him. I think the FML is just how ridiculous her mum is for trying to say she couldn't see him any more and what a dishonest douche her dad is being.
IceCreamm_fml 14
Well.. That's a sticky situation
aliezzo 19
Well being 22 implies that she has no right to tell you what to do.
boating_guy 33
Your parents will never stop being your parents, even when they don't have to (or shouldn't) anymore. You'd be wise to learn that
aliezzo 19
They will but at some point they'll have an advisory role in your life no longer dictating your every move. At the age of 22 its probable that they should no longer intervene directly.
AnthraxPrincess 18
My parents will always be my parents, yeah, but I no longer need to go to my room or go on timeout when I do bad shit around them. Why? I'm an adult.
ZeusBeDubsteppin 24
tell that to my dad.. he says no daughter of his will move in with a guy who isn't her brother unless we're married.

#70 incest is wincest ;)
Arwen_Evenstar 37
#70, and what is he going to do? Get mad, throw a hissy fit? Just because he says it, doesn't mean he has a choice. It sounds like OP is living her own life, her mother just doesn't appear to have accepted that fact.
Mr23 9
Even assuming you're 100% financially independent (which, let's face it, in our time isn't a given) there's still the fact that this is your family and you care what they think. Call it "internalizing the oppression", but you're going to feel "wrong" about crossing your parents well into your 20s. Or it might just be me.
ZorEl_fml 6
It's just you, 112. I will listen to what my parents say, but all in all, it's my decision. as an adult, I make my own choices. half of my family disowned me for being atheist. Didn't change who I was.
DropTheDaggerxx 31
It's not just you, 112. I agree. While I'm an adult and technically can do what I want, I really value my family's approval and I hate tension being created within my family. If you care about maintaining a good relationship with your parents/family, it's going to be hard when they don't approve of something. Not saying that always means you shouldn't do it, but it's definitely something I take into consider even at 20 years old.
sam882 28
Oh you rebel.
sturschaedel 27
Wow, being in your position sucks. Do you take the blame and make her think that you used her bed for sex, or do you rat out your dad and potentially destroy their marriage? Good luck, OP!
TrippingOnAcid 29
Taking the blame shouldn't be an option. His mum has the right to know the truth.
alitairi 18
hmm, end an untrue marriage or keep it a secret and let the woman who raised me and birthed me stay married to a sleezy asshole? I wonder what should be done?
chosha_fml 27
#7 If the marriage fails over this it will be the dad's fault, not OP's for not taking the blame. What ****** up guilt-tripping to suggest otherwise. Wait, are you OP's dad?

That's ****** up... Why aren't you married? Giving it away for free, like that. ...get off my lawn! :)
Eyalsh 32
what?? if i understood correctly, here's my reply: live and let live.
syed121417 22
Why do people think just because one is not married, it's giving themselves away? After all, OP and their boyfriend are 22 and live together, they have most likely been together for a while. Needless to say, it's not he main issue. A husband is cheating on his wife who is in denial and you worry about a young couple not being married yet?
KJBanx 7
Damn people 8 was making a joke
Badabam_fml 14
It says no-where that OP and her boyfriend are sexually active
Colon_Man 17
92 gets it. And, not sexually active? Come on.
jackycat 17
#117 One of my very close friends recently got married and she lived with her then fiancé for almost two years and they didn't have sex until they got married. It was important to then that they knew that they would work well living together before they got married and they both didn't believe in sex before marriage. Living together doesn't automatically mean having sex. Uncommon, but not impossible.
greencurtains74 11
Try sitting down with her and really emphasizing. "Momma, I can't imagine how this feels, but you must know the truth. That is not mine. But, I am here for you and love you!"
juturnaamo 29
Maybe he just doesn't want to fess up to masturbating. Some guys will jerk off with a condom for easy clean up.
rizzkiyoshi 19
that was my first thought too
alitairi 18
if that were the case, I think fessing up that he masturbated would be a helluva lot better than letting her think he cheated...
The_Avatar 22
Who the hell does that??? Thats an expensive ass way to jerk off!
The_Avatar 22
Just save yourself 10 bucks on a 12 pack of condoms and grab a tissue haha
dolphins_penny 5
1 word: socks. Just as easy to clean up and you can wash and reuse. Never known of a guy to use condoms to **********
maharb01 17
just don't flush the socks down the toilet, haha. they actually "featured" the whole condom ********** deal in that movie "I love you man." Jason Segel said he used them to de-sensitize himself. but yea. . .tad pricey
