Today, I happily told my parents that my boyfriend proposed to me last night. My dad's response? "Marry that goofy bastard and you're out of the will." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend asked me to marry him. When I happily told my dad, he kept asking if I'd consider taking back my ex. FML
Today, my boyfriend went to ask my dad for my hand in marriage. All I could make out from the door was mumbling, until profanities started flying. My boyfriend shouted "well she's a SINGLE bitch now!" and stormed out of the house. My dad still refuses to tell me what happened in there. FML
Today, my dad got so drunk that he proposed to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. I was about to call my parents and tell them we're getting married, but they called me first to announce they're getting a divorce. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend's father if I could marry his daughter. He smiled, shook my hand, and said "No. Now get out of my house." FML
Today, I came out to my parents. They nodded empathetically throughout my entire speech and told me repeatedly that it was okay. As I smiled and stood up, my dad asked, "But you're still going to marry a guy, right?" FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML
Today, I called my dad to tell him my boyfriend had proposed to me, and that we're planning on being married this summer. He was surprised at the short engagement, so I said, "Well, we're almost 30." Dad replied, "Wow, I left your mom when I was 35!" So not the conversation for that information, Dad. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend at a dinner with our two families. Not only did she flatly reject me, my dad said, "Good call. He's not ready." FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me a ring for my birthday. My dad now refuses to talk to me, because he thinks I'm engaged. My boyfriend thinks it's funny, because he'd never marry me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The boyfriend would probably say "Gawwwwrsh darlin', my family still loves you, gahuck. You're always welcome in the Goof Troop."

#32-It's creative comments like your that keep me coming back to FML. Keep up the good work.

I did forget an "S" in my last comment. But, unlike you, I remembered to type out the rest of my comment. And does that make my comment any less creative?

On the flip side of that, 58, your comment was degrade-worthy.

Is it just me or does that sound really sweet. :)

That's harsh. If you love your significant other though that shouldn't matter and hopefully in time your father will learn to deal with it.

i am going through the exact same thing. except my parents disowned my kids and i as well. if you love him then stick with him.

My father in law punched me in the face when I asked him for permission to marry his daughter. I still like to think he did it out of shock though my broken nose keeps telling me otherwise.

I wish my ex-father-in-law had punched me in the face when I gave him the courtesy of asking for his blessing. Would have saved me four years of my life and enough money to buy a lightly used Ferrari.

I don't think your dad would react that way without good reason. But you could try to get your "goofy bastard" of a fiancé to prove his maturity and you will remain in the will.

I totally disagree. The boyfriend shouldn't need to *prove* anything to the father. Last time I checked, being a 'goofy bastard' was simply a subjective personality trait, not some kind of defect that needs fixing; if the father doesn't like the guy's personality - well he can go to hell, because he's not the one marrying him... It seems to me that the dad is acting like a 'colosal jackass' which is far worse than 'goofy bastard'

If all OP's husband to be vices are being a goofy bastard, i say it's a win have you seen the dating scene today , it's filled with cheaters, drug addicts abusers and all sorts of characters. I say keep the dude forget the will

People aren't as good or smart(Or whatever) as you think. It is highly possible that he did it without any good reason - "just because"

Ouch... Time to sit down and have a long talk with dad. Try to figure out why he doesn't like your boyfriend. Or maybe he was just kidding and has a dry sense of humor. Congrats on proposal btw :3

Obviously not if she marries him. As mentioned in the FML.

"Well Mom married a goofy bastard, so I guess she and I will be even." He was probably just bequeathing you his old rusty golf clubs anyway. No big loss.

If he's serious, let's hope she wasn't getting much. Love your stories by the way, Doc. The latest one was pure gold.
Welshite 40
Stories that are pure gold?!? Doc, I need you to tell me these stories; I'll sell them and make a fortune. Heck, I might even buy a better cane for you.

I always wanted a set of rusty golf clubs :).
