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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Age gap
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
Is this guy Hugh Hefner?
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
Pleased to see you
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
He gets around
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
Casual
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
Family goals
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
That's creepy, dude
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

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

I don't get this FML. What's so bad about that?

it's creepy. pedophile.

she was 13 and he was 21. she could barely spell the word "jailbait" he's a freaking cradle robber. if a 21 year old was caught with a 13 year old now he'd be in jail so long his gravestone would already be marked.
VenusianMizu 0
Neither. I just don't consider the fact that it's illegal a legitimate reason to freak out over it, let alone feel like your life is ****** because you're the product of it. That's just depressing.

She was 13, I'm pretty sure she could spell the word "jailbait" unless she was mentally retarted. If she was mentally retarted then there would be an issue here. But this is no FML. There's not really a huge deal here. now if she had been like 11 or some prebuescent child then there would def be an issue.

I'm 19 and my girlfriend is 27. This age difference doesn't seem bad because we're both legal. the parents are legal now and that's what matters. They just happened to meet at a younger age.

your boyfriend's a pedophile
DocBastard 40
Your boyfriend has a problem. I hope you two aren't having sex, because that's statutory rape in all 50 states. Even if you aren't, there is a huge maturity difference between 14 and 20. You don't see it since you are 14. Wait until you're 20 and think if you would date a 14 year old.
Fortuitous 0
Why are your comments all so good, Doc? She will soon realize that this FML is the exception and not the rule.

My comments aren't all good - I screwed up big time in the gas station attendant FML earlier. :)

lol now that you said that i need to know how. TELL ME. atleast tell me through a private message.
FFML_314 12
14 and 20? IMO, there is something wrong with someone who is 20 years old and dates a child. You are not mature enough to date someone your own age at 14, let alone an adult. Do you know how vastly different the world is when you're 14 as opposed to 20? Break it off, because you will most likely regret it.
destany 0
that's disgusting. I hope law enforcement takes action and locks his ass up. do your parents know he's 20? if so, they need to be locked up too for letting you date him,

Why call her a *****?

you can tell just by the comment she's trash with no common sense... she probably thinks she loves the guy and they'll get married one day because she's immature, while he's really cheating on her and he just wants one thing from her.

Well, she's got a mustache like a 20 year old. Maybe that counts for something?

that's disgusting. what kind of male in his right mind at his age would go for someone THAT much younger? unless he can't pull girls his age, and "dating" a child is his only option. even still, he must be stupid to take such a risk. do your parents know the age of your beau? someone call the cops
KiddNYC1O 22
120- Because you're a hypocrite. I'm not a Grammar Nazi but you lack grammar skills.*
DocBastard 40
ifailplzinsultme- I'm going to assume, based on your username, that you're a troll. If you aren't, you chose the wrong name. Anyway, the more I think about this, the angrier I get. My daughter is 4, and if she ever even thinks about dating an adult while she is still a child I will lock her up in her room until she is 21. As for the guy, his dentist will be the only one able to identify his remains.
alliewillie 22
which is disturbing as well. I'm 21 and I can tell you - 20 yr old college age guys don't normally want practically prepubescent girls.

gaby,its okay for me to date an 18yr old since im 16,but 14&20 is insane,take our advice and use it.wait til ur older to be with him?because he could be some rapist and he may rape u when ur sleeping.we all dont want that to happen

#145: Have you ever heard of the space bar? You know, the BIGGEST FREAKING key on the whole keyboard?!

On the whole keyboard? Are you serious? WTF! My "H" key is bigger than my space bar. Something must be wrong...

there is so much wrong with your boyfriend that I dint even know where to begin. that's utterly disgusting!

FFML - your "H" key?? You have an "H" key? That was an upgrade for me! I'm still searching for my "any" key. "Press any key to continue"

132 and 125. I was joking. No I'm not a troll and I can usually pull out some "win" comments. This is not one of them. I was pointing out that she was talking in text launguage. This isn't texting. You blew it out of proportion.
MmmBabycakes 0
there's only 2 reasons a 20 year old would date a 14 year old. 1. he's a "loser" that no girl his age would touch with a 10 foot pole. or 2. The younger girls are easier to manipulate into doing sexual things. I'm not saying there's no exceptions but there are very few :/ I hope you find someone closer to your age in the future.
raynelee 0
at 14 u are just beginning to understand the world around u. u shouldn't be dating a 20 year old. I do agree with not putting an age on love but when it is a 6 year difference and the youngest is only 14 u need to end it. maybe get back together when ur a little older but right now it's not something u need or can handle

I'm a 14 year old girl and I find that quite creepy... and disturbing, seriously nothing good can come from that.

I agree 110% (also 14) :]

It's good to see there are still a couple of sane kids around here. Stay in school, don't do drugs, and don't date adults until you ARE one. Sheesh.

what about a mature 12 yr old and a 16 yr old? only 4 years.. I don't think it's thattt bad... and how do 20 year olds meet 14 year olds O.o do they just wait in a car and if they see somebody pretty they go out for the kill? :o

A "mature 12 year old" with a 16 year old? Brains at not even fully developed until adulthood.
chillinAK 9
Hey poster-take it from me here. The father of my oldest is 6 years older then me. I fell for a glib tongue and got played way wrong because I. did not have the maturity level to see what was going on. At the age of 14 I became a mother and watched him take after my best friend once he found out. Some one that age wants an easy conquest simple as that. For everyone fixing to lambast me with negative comments, my child is a happy, well adjusted 13 year old and I have a sound career and working on masters. I was not on welfare, nor am I now, and while I was an idiot, my children are not mistakes. As to statutory rape-they could only press it if the parents so choose. My husband and I met when I was 16 and e was 19. My father I law tried pressing stat on his OWN child an the police laughed him out of station. I thin my book is done. PM me if you have any questions. Seriously poster - pm me.

I started dating my bf when I was 18 and he was 37.. We've been together for four years now and he's the best thing that ever happened to me and vice versa. Age isn't an issue as long as both parties are mature and it's not illegal. Just sayin'.

im not agreeing with this, but 41, thats legal in minnesota. in mn the law states you cant be more then 6 years apart when it comes to minor/adult relations

good point and your pretty wise to be kinda young lol no offense :)
Lorysa 11
But how is that wrong #28? If she no longer felt the same way, she could simply end the relationship. And OP, it's not an FML if your parents are happy enough to have lasted this long. : )

28 Your reply was completely unrelated to 23's comment, it might be the comment bug though.
ImaginaryFoe 1
You don't see anything wrong with it because you are 14 and don't know any better. Despite what you think or feel, you are not "grown" or "mature". You are a child. Ask anyone who is older than your bf how much they knew at age 14. And incidentally, it's not wrong just because it's illegal; it's illegal because it's wrong. Adults made the law because they know healthy adults do not want to date children.

please listen to 236 :) haa ! like on the real though.. is this where teens start thinking they know everything ??
auto_da_fe 2
You really should take the majority of these posters' advice. At age 14 I thought the adults around me were wrong about relationships and the boy I was involved with. I ended up losing my virginity at that age, which I see now was far too young. Needless to say that boy had nothing to do with me after. You need to focus on yourself and school. Relationships at such a young age are almost always immature mistakes. But hey, it's your life. You're allowed to mess up however badly you want.

All I gotta say is been there done that not going back there
fadingaway 17
How is this an FML? Some people find true love at an early age. I know a 30-something year old couple who have been together since they were 12. She could have been really mature for her age. They're still together, so this is in no way a bad thing. He clearly loves her and wouldn't pressure her into anything, so chances are they weren't having sex back then.
starberries 0
It's illegal, and it's perverted. And you have no reason to think that "he clearly loves her and wouldn't pressure her into anything" just because they've stayed together. It could be an abusive relationship. You don't know. The couple you know has been together since they were BOTH 12. That's entirely different from a middle-schooler dating an adult.

No people who are the same age dating is fine but he was dating her when he was of age and she wasn't
TheZarola 10
How is this an FML for you? On another note, age doesn't matter much unless it's an adult dating a minor (like in this case). Personally, I wouldn't date anyone more than 5 years my junior or senior, but that's just me.
