Today, I confided to my dad that since the recent breakup with my boyfriend of 3 months, I feel down all the time and life doesn't feel worth living anymore. His loving advice was for me to "grow the fuck up and get your sentimental head out of la-la land." FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after being dumped by my boyfriend of two years, I poured my heart out to my dad. He nodded and looked sympathetic throughout. Afterwards, I asked him what I should do. He replied, "How the hell should I know?" and awkwardly left my room. FML
Today, I came home crying after my boyfriend dumped me for another girl. My dad told me to come tell him what was wrong. I sat down and let it all out, after which he looked up from his book, into my eyes, and gave me his loving advice: "Just cry about it and move on to another bastard." FML
Today, I was feeling down following a recent breakup. My dad tried to comfort me by patting me on the back and saying everyone goes through ups and downs, "Like when I found out your mum and I were having a boy." I'm their only son. FML
Today, I went to my father for advice. I've been seeing a wonderful girl for the past month, and I feel terrible about it, because I already have a girlfriend. He said "Kill yourself" and that if I "can't even do that right" then to get out of his house, because he disowns me. FML
Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad walked in to talk. He said I'm not the son he'd hoped for, and that he'd been let down as a father. He said I should change the way I am so that he could love me more. It was the longest conversation I've had with my dad in years. FML
Today, I was having an emotional breakdown. I'm unhappy a lot and don't know why. It's very confusing. My dad yelled at me, telling me, "You have no right to be sad!" I'm even more confused now. Help. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he says I need to learn how to be happy without relying on him. I'm not a clinger, I'm just unhappy because my dad recently passed away, my best friend turned on me, and I lost out on the exchange program of my dreams. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend has been cheating on me. My dad noticed my depression and got me to tell him what was wrong. I told him everything, and trusting him to have an intelligent suggestion, I asked him what I should do. He shrugged and said, "Fuck, sue him, I dunno." FML
Today, my dad told me that I'm a weak and negative person because I suffer from depression and anxiety, then he told me to just snap out of it. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up after three years. I came home and when my dad asked what was wrong, I told him. His first reaction was, "Well damn it. Who'll go fishing with me now?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

it was three months, shes gets too attached, she was probably clingy.
seanders 10
Well we now know that 1 and 28 are clingy bitches, and thus not dateable.:)

Whether the dad was giving good advice or not, he could've been a lot nicer to the daughter. I think that's what number 1 meant by being a dick. He was a little insensitive.

Seriously OP, quit your moaning. 3 months? I grew over a girl who led me on for three years, in about 2 weeks.

Seriously? Contemplating your life over some one night stand boyfriend? Stop whining like a bitch, grow up, and get over it. If can't handle the "drama", wait 4 more years before having another date. No wonder he broke up with you. YDI.
Anai08 17
Was OP's Dad being a bit insensitive? Yeah. Do I blame him? No. It's worrying to me that OP feels "life isn't really worth living" because she's not in a relationship anymore. Especially after 3 months-you kind of need to toughen up there. All it says about you is that your not secure enough in your own skin, and not mature enough to be in a relationship OP.

3 months? You're going to have breakups in your life and if you feel that 'life isn't worth living' after such a short relationship, I dread to think how you'd feel of the relationship had been a few years..

Yeah, three months, Op, you don't have to be all distraught over a three month relationship that came to an end. But still, your father could have worded that a little... Uh, more nicely... like a supportive father...

It bothers me that her 'life is over' because her boyfriend broke up with her and she is being whiny, but isn't your dad supposed to atleast show you support and hey he could've lied a little for her. She also could've of been really close to this guy 3 months is a longer time then it seems. But then again she could be a drama queen so.

omg three months thats ages you poor thing you should put on sum sexy shoes and just go out nd find a new guy!!!!! dont worry bout him (: (: MEN ARE ALL ASSHOLES THEY DESERVE TOO ROT (except my bf chad hehehehehehe)
TheMystery_fml 6
it's true, life isn't perfect. you have to realize that bad things will occur, so suck it up because most likely things like that will happen again. getting sentimental isn't going to help

OPs dad isnt a dick, thats the truth and she should take his advice. dont be depressed over bullshit
bubble25_fml 5
well if it was her first boyfriend then I guess 3 months is a big deal. in that particular scenario, the dad is a huge dick. otherwise he is just telling it how it is.

397- Probably because you're giving OP a hard time about 3months when you make it perfectly clear that you've been with your "bf Chad" for 5 months and talking about "together forever" or whatever. Learn to apply you life to others' situations.

397 because your comment is stupid. I'll list a few things. "all men are stupid". What about ghandi, or MLK jr.? That's like me saying all women are *****, (in your case thats true). 2nd you ate stupid. The way you write, your profile picture, etc. I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and shit a better paragraph then you. You are so ******* stupid, please shut up.

If what you mean by that is "Lols. The dad is not coddling her because he wants her to wake up to the reality that no one cares about how clingy she is" then yes, you are correct.
Katy326 10
haha these are the girls that get pregnant at 13 because they put too much value in a 3 month long relationship. then after about 6 months they have sex because they're "in love" and they get preggo. why would life not be "worth living" after 3 months??

all I want to know about this is why you capitalized the u in ur... its "your" btw...

I know my iPhone makes 'ur' get spelt with a capital U as part of it's autocorrect feature. that is one the rare occasion I actually use shortened text talk rather than proper spelling.

That's bogus, but come OP, it was only 3 months, you shouldn't get attached so easily.

....unless of course, you are as ugly as a mud fence, have no hope, no prospects, are desperate, and dateless....
AwesomessMaximus 4
Yeah, I guess you're right, even then, it is unwise.
HahaYDI 0
OP and her boyfriend could have been really good friends before they started dating, so it could have been a lot more devastating. It's hard to take a stand like that when you don't know the whole story.

flighted 1
^yeah, HahaYDI has a point. I was best friends with a guy for 4 years, despite my knowing of him having a history of cheating on his girlfriends I took the risk thinking it'd be different and unofficially dated him for about a month. by the time he got the courage up to ask me to go out with him and I said yes, was the day he cheated. I could say I was extremely devastated for the longest while so this person has a point
mmedeiros14 0
sorry to hear that flighted
TheIrishJaneDoe 9
68/104: You're right-- we don't know the details. However, this is a perfect example of why it's important to retain your self-identity when you're in a relationship. I can totally understand being devastated after a breakup, but thinking you've lost your reason to live is a huge red flag. Even after you get married or otherwise make a long-term commitment to someone, letting your self-worth become dependent on that person is a bad idea, and can even destroy a healthy relationship.
