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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I just found out my dad got remarried a year ago. The woman is officially living with us, I got to have lunch with her alone today. I found out she is only 22, with a 14 year-old little brother. My dad's 47. I'm 17, now with a 14 year-old uncle, and a mom that can pass for my girlfriend. FML
Today, my dad married his fiancée, who insists I call her "Mom." I'm three years older than her, and went to the same high school. She's taking me shopping next week to buy me "something nice." FML
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
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 daughter got engaged. Her fiancé is not only 25 years older than her, but was her teacher in middle school. FML
Today, my aunt came into the world. My 67 year-old grandfather married a 24 year-old woman who just gave birth to my new aunt, who is 18 years younger than me. FML
Today, I found out that my father asked my best friend to marry him. He's 38 and we're 18. She said yes. FML
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, my mother got remarried. I am now officially older than my step-father. FML

How can you blame him when we live in a society that constantly sends us messages that a woman is most desirable in her early 20's? I'm not sure why your dad being a player is an FML for you. You're genetically connected to someone who has maintained attractiveness late in life -- that should be a cause of optimism for you.

That's interesting how he attracts women way younger than him. Maybe you can learn his ways of attracting young women (or women in general). Unless there's something illegal or something I'm overlooking, not too much wrong here.

And boy, do we live in that society. I literally just told myself, “Whelp, you’re mid-twenties with no SO in sight, time to fully embrace spinster-hood.”

sounds more like OP is jealous that dear old dad has skills, and he doesn't

Women can have skills, too.

exactly, plus, dad can do what he wants. I wonder if OP is worried she won't be in the will

Why do you care? Once it's not your mom, it's hard to see why it's your business.

Your dad is a major creep

Your math does not add up. If the 3rd wife was 28 years younger than him and you were the same age as that wife, that means he was 28 when you were born. Present time he's 64, which makes you 36, and his current wife is 22, yet is nearly 2 decades younger than you? 14 years is not nearly 2 decades.

Sorry your dad's a disgusting pervert, OP. Hope he leaves you something good in the will.
