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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I came home in tears over finding out my boyfriend has been cheating on me. I told my seemingly sympathetic dad everything. His advice was to lure them both to our house with the promise of a three-way, after which he'd "kill the shit" out of them. Real mature, dad. FML
Today, I came home in tears after my boyfriend admitted to cheating on me. My dad told me to sit down and tell him everything. He's pretty eccentric, so I wasn't fazed when he put on a pair of sunglasses. When I stopped talking, I noticed his mouth was slightly agape and he was snoring. FML
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
Nice victim blaming, dude
Today, I had to tell my boyfriend his dad was sending me inappropriate texts that made me feel uncomfortable. I tried to make him stop, but he kept going until I felt like I needed to tell my boyfriend. Who's now broken up with me because of it. FML
Content brain
Today, I was confiding in my dad over the phone, after I caught my girlfriend cheating on me. After I hung up and went online, I noticed he'd been live-blogging the whole call on Facebook and commenting that he was considering suicide to escape the boredom. 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
Supportive
Today, I found out my boyfriend has been cheating on me. In tears, I called my best friend and told him everything. He responded with one or two-word answers throughout, but I felt better all the same. That is, until I heard him begin to take a loud piss half-way through my sentence. FML
Time to move on
Today, I found out my boyfriend is cheating on me. His excuse was that I never had time for his needs anymore. He’s unemployed but I guess me working and studying to get my degree so we could move out of his parents’ house was too much. Now I have no place to go. FML
Today, I heard my boyfriend talking with my father in the backyard. I thought he was asking for my hand in marriage. He was actually telling him about his plans to break up with me. FML

Even in this situation, the best solution anyone can come up with is to sue. It's a sad sad world.

Who would you even sue anyways?

Hmmm just a random guess but the boyfriend perhaps ? Oh and I totally agree with 1 it is pretty sad that the first conclusion everyone comes up with is to sue

I'm pretty sure OPs dad wasn't serious, he just had no idea what to say. I mean, it's your dad. Relationship advice might not be his forte--just appreciate the fact that you have a dad who would even hear you out.

21, I assumed he wasn't serious. OP would be laughed out of court. It was still the first thing that popped into his head.

OP's dad sounds a lot like far too many FML commenters...

Concrete shoes Cyanide, TNT! Neckties, contracts, High voltage! Those are all good ideas and AC/DC gave the world this genius about 30 years ago. You don't need to reinvent the wheel.

He probably works for Apple.

You would be amazed of the lawsuits that sometimes prevail in court. Op will not be awarded a reasonable amount of money, but Torts is as simple as "you cause me damage/loss/pain/suffering you have to pay for it". Thank God there are still judges with some common sense.

What's crazy is that suing over a relationship failure has happened before. One of my friend's was sued for sexual harassment after hooking up with someone multiple times but ultimately refusing to go out with her. That would be such a shitty situation.

It is sad. I'm going to hope it was just because he didn't know what to say. It ultimately reflects our issues in todays world. People do often jump to that, which is why we have owners of medical malpractice insurance companies making more than brain surgeons since people can win 50K on a few lost eyelashes because the doctors glove got stuck when applying surgical glue, and no the suit did not involve glue in the eye, just the eyelashes.

33, Sounds like an odd revenge plot. "I'll show you, I'll announce myself as a **** to the world so you have to pay me a small amount of money, THEN we will see who comes off second best!". Is this person by any chance one of the members of the Bundy family?

The other woman as reducious as it might sound lol for 'alienation of affection' that's a real thing :)

Your dad was just so lost for words at the assholery of your (hopefully) ex so he just said the first thing that was on his mind .
X_Codes 11
OP's dad managed to wipe OP's ass and feed her while she was a kid, and he cares enough to listen to a (assuming) teenage girl go on about getting cheated on by her boyfriend. Seriously, do you expect your dad to go Chuck Norris on him or something?

In this country, people sue other people for breathing in their air.

Well a woman in NC did do that to her husband's alleged mistress and won quite a bit! I'm sure the majority of the jury was made up of women (not to say women don't cheat on men) and I think the majority of us are tired of the constant affairs going on. I actually think it was a fantastic idea and maybe the lady will think before she spreads her legs the next time! It's the only way to get "justice" bc you can't go out and beat them up or kill them. However, when you have iconic figures like Dr. Seuss having steamy affairs what can you really expect? Needless to say, if I were you, I would break up with him. It's one thing to have a life with someone and a child with someone but you are free and clear to start over with someone who will love you the way you are meant to be loved!

Wait, why should she sue the other woman? For all we know the other girls didn't know either and was also cheated on. Should she sue OP?
gracehi 33
I think I've heard of that case you're talking about. The husband had an affair with a woman who worked at some store where he would buy the wife lavish gifts. The mistress always handled his purchases, so she knew the husband was married. If it's the same case your referring to I think she actually sued the store, although she may have sued the mistress as well.

...And thereby guaranteeing no guy will ever want to marry her again. See, every story has a happy ending if you look for it hard enough :D

My uncle worked for the railroad and while married to my aunt he began dating a woman in another state. He dated her for two years and they had a kid together. One day, she just stopped hearing from him and after a couple weeks she decided to try to find him because she was worried and he wouldn't answer his phone. She looked up his home phone number and my aunt answered. Needless to say, both women were shocked. If my aunt had sued she would have been suing a single mother who had no idea that her child's father was married. My point is, it is the cheaters fault in any relationship. If the other person knows then they are scum but the person who is cheating made a commitment to someone and they are the one breaking the commitment. You cannot blame the other person when they had no idea and are probably just as hurt and confused as you are.
