Today, I asked my dad for advice. I recently got drunk and had a one-night stand. I feel terrible, because I'm engaged to a wonderful lady. My dad just said, "You did the right thing, son, keep it up. She's gonna steal half ya shit in the divorce anyway". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad got so drunk that he proposed to me. FML
Today, I found out that my father, who very recently lost his wife, decided that drunkenly hitting on my long-time boyfriend's mom was a good idea. FML
Today, my dad showed up at my house and offered to take me to my favorite restaurant. He drove me to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. He believes I only had my daughter, who I love with all my heart, because I drunkenly hooked up with a girl. FML
Today, my dad told me he liked men. While he was making a drunken speech. At my wedding. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my dad. I thought it was a good idea at the time, at least until he took her aside for a private chat. During the chat, he told her all about my two previous marriages and advised her to "get out while you can". FML
Today, my "future" wife got drunk in front of my parents, who she was meeting for the first time. She called my dad a piece of shit and told my mom she wants to tear her own eyes out. 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, my new girlfriend's father made good on his "What you do to her I do to you" threat when he took me out for drinks and then drunkenly hit on me. FML
Today, my mom came home drunk and crying, so I tried to comfort her and asked what was wrong. She wasted no time admitting that she'd hooked up with her ex-husband, AKA my dad, but that it'd sucked for her because he has a tiny penis. Thanks, I really needed to know that. FML
Today, I decided to visit my dad. I haven't seen him in a while so I wanted to give him another chance to be an actual dad to me. Apparently, getting drunk and getting it on with his girlfriend while I was there was more important than spending time with his daughter, who he hasn't seen in almost a year. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That was a really dick move. On both of your parts.

Yeah, you should feel terrible. F your fiancé's life. She deserves better. Also, being drunk isn't an excuse.

Thanks dad.

OP, go straight edge and that won't happen again. YDI

#1 F! the drunk excuse, you did it because you wanted to do. it. #2 Think about how you would feel if your fiance, told you she got drunk and screwed some dude. #3 If you are truly sorry forget it happened and put it in the past. #4. If you truly love the woman who will be your wife, think about your actions and the impact they can potentially have on her but before acting. If you are going going to be a horrible husband, do you both a favor and don't get hitched.

#60 The last thing he should do is keep it from his fiance. OP ****** up, and if he keeps it from her and they get married, they both are going to be in an even bigger hurt when she does find out (let's face it, if OP is dumb enough to get drunk and cheat, he's probably dumb enough to get drunk and spill the beans). It'd be better to tell her now OP before you drag her down with you.

83, if it really was a one time mistake and OP does really regret it and loves his future wife very much he should be the one living with the hurt and pain, not her. If my hubby made a one time mistake that really was a one time thing I wouldn't want to know. I wouldn't want to live with having to wonder if he would do it again every time he leaves home or comes home from work late. If it ever happened again, I would want to know. Because that would be the day I leave.

135, good for you for being intelligent. Absolutely, 100 percent agree. If it was a one time thing, it's their cross to bear, nobody else's. If it happens more than once, well, that's leavin' time.
HanBroman 20
34 yeah if theres even a 1% chance that you will cheat while drunk then if you love her you wont drink. its his fault for taking that chance when hes weak and has little self control
amayasoma 19
I would want to know. I am about to marry you. Give you my mind, body, and soul and you not only want to go and have a one night stand but also not confess about doing it. I would feel more betrayed by the fact he didn't say anything to me asap.

I love the double standard of society. A man gets drunk and has sex: "He shouldn't have drank! He must have wanted it! He's 100% responsible!" A woman gets drunk and has sex: "she was drunk! She didn't have control! Its 100% the guys fault!" Not saying cheating is good but these comments you guys are posting make me sick.

162 if a woman got drunk and cheated, the response would be the same... you may be thinking of people disputing whether drunk sex is rape, which is not what OP is talking about..
HanBroman 20
yeah 162 if a woman gets drunk and cheats everyone calls her a ***** all the same, if not worse

That was a really dick move. On both of your parts.
SarahSehhati 40
Yes it was. Now to not make such a dick move is to confront his fiancee and tell her the truth.
MrsDruidess 23
agreed, you're a dick. But moving on from that: you have to tell her, its only fair that she knows exactly what shes getting into BEFORE she decides to legally, spiritually and emotionally bind herself to you for life.
karmaliss 18
13, Hopefully him feeling terrible about it is a sign he isn't too big of a dick to never confess and try to earn his fiancé's trust back.
SarahSehhati 40
Thats if she is willing to let him gain her trust back.....

i think the dads right too. lol itll just blow up yah in face always does. and MENINIST NEEDS TO BE A THING.
stargirl_95 24
The term that you guys are looking for is MRA (men's rights activist) and I've heard masculinist as well. Plus, meninist sounds terrible

How about "machoism"? Rolls off the tongue a little easier.
ifoundwaldo123 12
I would say that sucks, but you did have a one night stand while engaged. Ydi OP
OhWhoCares 42
I agree. OP deserves all the hell that he gets for this. This is one of the rare FMLs that I don't want a follow up to... This is just sad. YDI OP, and **** your fiancée's life.
HylianTwilight 21
I want a follow up explaining how she chooses to handle his inability to keep it in his pants. Whether she drops his ass to the curb or not. Yeah...that'd be wonderful to see.
zahra_786 19
Yeah, you should feel terrible. F your fiancé's life. She deserves better. Also, being drunk isn't an excuse.

Since you only mentioned being drunk as an invalid excuse, I assume being horny still flies?

@23 no they are not, especially when it involves hurting someone else
ChristianH39 30
Jeez people I'm pretty sure 23 was being sarcastic...

But if a woman says yes to sex while drunk it's rape? I agree op is wrong but it's not exactly the same as if he was sober
T1A2Z3 35
If you get drunk and make mistakes like that you stop drinking. Join AA or something.
cp399 14
Your poor fiance. Don't ask for advice on such personal matters. It's up to you to figure it out.
im_a_black_guy 10
No sometimes it's best to ask for advice obviously he feels bad and he wants to take the right steps towards fixing it
blondeamazonian 18
A+ parenting. Hope the drunk one night stand was worth the shit storm that should be headed your way. YDI.
kerstileann 26
and the std he hopefully got. to op: your a douchebag. being drunk is no excuse. you were just an asshole.
devildog562 33
Your wishing an sti on a person? That's pretty dumb considering he'll just spread it to more people ...
woainishamu 21
Sounds like dad and mom got some issues?!

I hate when people being drunk becomes an excuse for pulling your manhood out. You should feel guilty OP, YDI.

I don't think it's an excuse. More an explanation. His dad's a dock maybe he should go to his mom. There nothing harder than telling you other you cheated
slyde32 12
nope, it's an excuse, it's like "oh I was drunk, I didn't know wgat I was doing" of you can't handle your actions when you're drunk, pace yourself, drink water, eat food between drinks
kerstileann 26
if you cant handle your actions when drunk your either a lightweight or an alcoholic
Divia1 9
How about hearing your other cheated?
ElizaWy 25
As for advice... confess immediately and beg your fiance's forgiveness. Being dishonest about it will make it so much worse.
PerditaDessa 38
Especially, since you're asking others for advice. If she hears it from someone other than you later on you'll never live it down. If she decides to look past your mistake she probably won't want every other person you two know to know about it.
