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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

Listen to him. You don't sound too bright

While I definitely agree that feeling suicidal over a breakup is unhealthy and ridiculous, I don't think the length of the relationship should dictate how you're allowed to feel after a breakup. How long and how well you knew them before getting together makes a difference, and so does how well you get along. Some people just click right away and others don't. For example- my mum met this guy, started dating him, they were together for 8 years but were never really compatible as a couple, so she was far from upset when they broke up. On the other hand, I met a guy and instantly felt a connection with him. We were close friends for over a year before we got together and I fell more in love with him every day. When we broke up after being together for 2 months because he had to move away I was heartbroken. Again, I certainly never said that life wasn't worth living without him, but my point is, don't judge without the details. Maybe they were best friends for years and she was in love with him all that time before they actually got together. That would make a huge difference than if it was a guy she just met.

Guys, calm down. Yeah, it was only three months. But you don't know what happened before then. People can fall in love before they start dating. But I guess people have forgotten that that is possible. And it makes it worse if things ended on bad terms. I'm so sorry, OP. Your father should not have been so harsh. And if you really are feeling like life isn't worth living, I would seek professional help from someone right away. Good luck, my dear.

3 months? Are you serious? I feel like you're those over attached girlfriends.
