Today, I got engaged. When I called my father, who is out of state for a few days, to tell him, his response was, "What'd you do that for?" FML
jessiebear159 tells us more.
Thank you for congratulating me. I agree that my father's response was probably just from shock. He called me not long after we hung up the first time and apologized for reacting that way. I am the youngest of his children and his only daughter, he may just not be ready to let me go yet. He has only been married once, to my mother, and they have been married happily for 22 years. I appreciate the advice that was given and I plan to talk to him more about his concerns when he gets back this coming week.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I guess it depends on how old are you..anyways I'm sure you're old enough to make your own decisions. He could've been more supportive but I wish you the best

He says "What'd you do that for?" As in "Why did you do that?" Or "Why would you do that?" At least that's how I interpreted it.

What kinda response is that? Does he not like him or do you know what triggered that response?

Your father knows what's up.. Just kidding, sometimes parents can be like that, but congrats! He will warm up to the idea I'm sure.

Well if you don't have a good answer by now then he's probably right.

Better to tell him than to just show up home one day married with a couple kids

Doesn't matter what he thinks, does it? If this is what you want then do it and don't listen to what other people say. **** them
