Today, my father was offered 85 sheep for my hand in marriage. We live in the USA, and he is literally contemplating the offer. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my fiancé paid a visit to my parents so he could ask my dad's permission to marry me. My dad responded with, "Why buy the cow when you can milk it for free?" FML
Today, my dad got so drunk that he proposed to me. FML
Today, my dad had a chat with my fiancé, telling him he can do better than me, and to think carefully before going through with our wedding. FML
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 asked my girlfriend's dad for permission to take her hand in marriage. He said no, because he doesn't want her marrying a "sexist idiot who treats her like property", which he thinks asking permission amounts to, then told me to grow up. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad offered me $100 to break up with his daughter. I eagerly replied "No", but my girlfriend grabbed the money and said, "Deal." FML
Today, my dad is refusing to let me marry my fiancé because he said no when my dad asked for a loan of £10,000 to help clear some gambling debts. Apparently that shows my fiancé has poor family values and will be a bad father and an alcoholic husband. Impressive logical thinking there. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad offered me $100 to break up with his daughter. I eagerly replied "no", but my girlfriend grabbed the money and said, "deal." FML
Today, I got married. When my father gave me away, in front of hundreds of people, to my groom, he said, "She's your problem now." FML
Today, my boyfriend of 5 years decided to buy a $2500 taxidermied wolf on eBay. This is the same guy who refuses to get engaged because it would "cost too much right now." FML

If he throws a few goats and pigs in, I'd say it's a good deal! But seriously, what state do you live in? And who is the intended bridegroom?

I don't know what to do with this, but honestly, it sounds like a "dad joke" it's probably one of his friends making the offer for him, trying to see your reaction.

Hi guys, I really want to thank you all for your concerns. I've seen alot of questions so let me answer a few: What State are your from? I am not going to say what state, but I live in the North East. Was he Joking? No my father was completely serious about it. Did he accept the offer? Fortunately, my uncle and I were able to talk to my father, and persuade him to decline. How old are you? I am 17 years of age Where are you from? I was born here in the United States, but my Mother and Father originally moved here from Sudan. and to those of you saying it was a great offer, I know it was, that's why father was so conflicted. This whole experience had me scared out of my mind, but I am Okay. Thanks for all the support!

Heyy I just saw your comment down here sad you didn’t get more recognition/likes being it your FML still I understand you have bigger problems I hope you understand and realize that once your turn 18 in America you can leave and make your own life. I don’t know you and I probably never will but I can tell you that you will never be happy with a choice you couldn’t make. But if you take a gamble and actually work to better yourself I’m sure you can make it all on your terms . Wish you the best !
