Today, I was forced to sit silently through my 20-year-old daughter's wedding to a man who is 8 years older than I am. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 husband is threatening divorce because I loudly objected at his daughter's wedding and made a scene. His daughter is 19 and got married to a 40-year-old man. 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 husband allowed his 16-year-old daughter to get married. Every single objection and concern I had, they ignored. FML
Today, my boyfriend, who's a bit older than me, introduced me to his daughter. I was expecting a toddler. Nope, she's a year older than me. FML
Today, I found out that my step-daughter, who is 29, still living at home, who I've completely supported since marrying her mother 16 years ago, wants her cousin to walk her down the aisle at her wedding two years from now and not me. FML
Today, I overheard my wife telling our daughter that getting married young is like a “long, slow, painful dream-killing death, played out over decades.” We got married when I was 18 and she was 17. FML
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
Today, I missed my daughter’s engagement because her cousin has a crush on her and was planning to ruin it. So while my daughter was agreeing to get married, my sister and I were in the car park with the jealous little shit in a headlock, whilst screaming that he loved her and that it’s not fair. He’s 27. FML
Today, my 21 year-old daughter sent me the longest, violent, most hateful text I've ever seen in my life. Apparently she opposes me marrying her best friend of 12 years. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should've piped up at the part where they ask if anyone has any protests.

I swear I wrote that BEFORE the title showed up. Honest!

What IS the title? It currently is showing as anonymous on the iOS version of the app, or at least it is for me.

The title is "Now I ain't saying she a gold digger..." As I mentioned before, I'm pretty certain I wrote my comment before the title showed up and not the other way around...

I feel your pain OP. I had to sit through my daughter's wedding to a guy who's very existence I hate. I detest every breath he takes and was praying that the tree they got married under was going to fall and kill him, No such luck
Allie614032 34
Do you have an actual reason for hating him? Because wishing death upon anyone is awful.

How do really feel

A reason is guaranteed to exist, wheter you agree with it or not is what you're actually wondering.
GhostFox 34
I wouldn't say that wishing death on ANYONE is awful. There's a shitload of people the world would be better off without, and wishing someone would die isn't going to actually MAKE them die.

Do you really want to know? or were you just posting a reply
Allie614032 34
Yes, I really want to know. That's why I asked.

but if his objections were baseless, it wouldn't have mattered

If he makes her truly happy, why should you care about his age? Of course, it’ll be awkward when he starts calling you “Dad.”

Unless he's like 70, I don't really see a big problem. Sure, it's unusual but if they're happy, there's nothing wrong.

20 year olds are so young though. I feel like there's a pretty good chance that this guy's either incredibly emotionally or socially stunted, or a flat-out predator. What could a man who's probably at least 50ish possibly be getting out of a relationship with someone so young, other than a person who's dependent on him that he can manipulate and control? It's creepy. I'm 30 and I'd never date a 20 year old. Why on earth would I want to? They're in a completely different place in terms of social and personal development and maturity, even if they are "technically" adults.

That's a lot of assumptions! I'm an older guy and I still have an optimistic outlook on life. I find many (not all) women close to my age are cynical and pessimistic. Women who have optimism that matches mine tend to be younger. I'm looking for a mutually respectful relationship where she influences my life as much as I influence hers. I'm not going to disqualify any consenting adult because of her age.
