Today, my parents told me about how they met. I'd already known they were eight years apart, but I never knew my dad started dating my mom when he was 21 and she was 13. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that when my mum had introduced me to her boyfriend, it was right before his birthday, so she'd rounded his age up. For two years I thought he was seven and a half years older than me, when really he's actually six and a half years older. 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, my dad told me he was planning to have his steady girlfriend over for dinner. He's only had a few relationships since he and my mom split up when I was very young, so I was excited to meet the woman. He then told me that I knew her already. My dad is dating my aunt on my mothers side. FML
Today, I was introduced to my dad's girlfriend of six months. I've already heard them sleeping together several times, and seen her car pull away early in the morning. After meeting face to face, I also learned that she's only two years older than me. FML
Today, when my dad said he was dating a woman he met at his retirees social club, I assumed it was a woman also in her 60s. Nope. Barmaid. A whole 42 years younger than him, 9 years younger than me. FML
Today, my dad casually mentioned my half-sister in conversation. He had her out of wedlock when he was only 13. NEWS TO ME, HE'S NEVER MENTIONED I HAVE A HALF-SISTER BEFORE AND I'M FREAKING 22 YEARS-OLD. Apparently he and mom thought I knew, and just forgot to tell me. FML
Today, I found out that my father asked my best friend to marry him. He's 38 and we're 18. She said yes. FML
Today, I asked my mom to tell me how she met my dad, because after 15 years me and my dad are finally working on our relationship. My mom thought it was a good time to tell me he’s not my father, and that my biological father wants to meet me this week. FML
Today, I'm 20 years-old and I was propositioned by a 42 year-old man, who turned out to be my dad's friend who helped care for me when I was 2 to 7 years-old. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's... wow. The fact that they actually stayed together up until now is a miracle in itself.

I think you can look at this in a positive way, they can't get mad at the age of the person your dating, and prob could get away with dating who ever you want because of this.... not saying to become a creepy dude who goes after kids thou

it's really not as big a deal as people would like u to believe, ( sometimes I just think it old fat and ugly women who are against it) though it's because people think that it's oppressive of women, a lot of people in history have had young brides, mugwort, edger Allen Poe, and more.

This wouldn't be an FML for you because you were born, so you can't say FML when you're..I'm confused.

Actually, I think it mattered quite a bit! The sort of 21 year old who dates 13 year olds probably doesn't care much for the over-18 set.

Edger Allen poe was a bad example. He was a total nutjob and if he was a nutjob, he had a pretty good chance of being a pedophile, too!
Snapp1e 0
No, they don't have to have sex. If 1, or both partners are younger then 18, and the age difference is 4 years, then it's illegal. Whether their having sex, or just dating. Thats pedophilia on the dads part.

My mom went to senior prom in 6th grade with her 12th grade guy and currently her husband is 20 years older then her. If you really like someone age shouldn't matter.

IT DOESNT MATTER ID THEY HAD SEX. IT'S STILL ILLEGAL.
dont_be_that_guy_fml 0
It depends on which state you live in! In oregon it isn't illegal to have that kind of age difference, but if someone over the age of 18 as much as kisses someone under the age of 18, it's statutory.
morganhchs 5
actually it's perfectly legal if they weren't. check your facts.

Brings a whole new meaning to the term "play date", doesn't it?

is that legal?
redbluegreen 41
It's illegal, but just because something is illegal doesn't mean no one does it. For example, my aunt and her husband moved in together when he was in his late 20s and she was barely 15. They've been together for over 30 years now.
Zebidee 9
It depends on what OP means by "dating". If they were just hanging out, then it's not illegal. If they were having sex (presumably in the US where OP is posting from), then yes, it would be.
zp5 4
what im getting at is, what 13 year old would go out with a 21 year old??
TaylorTotsYumm 10
It's statutory rape of they were having sex.
zp5 4
*if yes i know that but what i meant was like kissing or something like that not "hanging out" like 14 said. but if it was sex...well, your dads in trouble op. well, thats what i meant for my last comment which isn't there anymore...
Zebidee 9
There's a distinct difference between conduct that would be considered creepy or inappropriate and that which would be actually illegal. As your question in #11 was specifically "is that legal?", that's what I answered, although that seems to be not what people want to hear. The laws on Child Sexual Abuse are very specific, and if the OP's Dad didn't do any of those things, then no, it wasn't actually 'illegal'. "Is that weird?", or "do you think that's OK?" are completely different issues.
