Love: Great, just great

Great, just great

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my dad. I thought it was a good idea at the time, at least until he took her aside for a private chat. During the chat, he told her all about my two previous marriages and advised her to "get out while you can". FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to meet my parents. My dad thought it'd be hilarious to act surprised and ask me if I'd already dumped the girlfriend I introduced him to yesterday. She slapped me and stormed out of the house before my dad could tell her it was a joke. FML

Today, I finally invited my girlfriend over to meet my oddball parents. The first words out of my dad's mouth were, "So, you're the silly girl who agreed to date my dickhead son." It went downhill from there. 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 dad had a chat with my fiancé, telling him he can do better than me, and to think carefully before going through with our wedding. FML

Today, I overheard my dickhead dad telling my girlfriend she's too good for me, then asking if she wants to settle for someone like me. FML

Today, my boyfriend met my dad for the first time. The first thing he said to him was, "You're an idiot for dating my daughter." FML

Awkward much?

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents over lunch. Unfortunately, I showed my dad her Facebook profile beforehand and he wouldn't stop making cracks about her duckfacing. It started with, "Don't let her eat the bread, it'll puff up in her stomach and kill her", and ended in tears. FML

Today, I was hooking up with my girlfriend when her dad knocked on the clear door that leads to the room. About 5 minutes later both of her parents came in to give us the "talk" which included the first time her parents did it. In detail. FML

Today, I planned on introducing my fiancé to my parents. After the introductions, and telling him how I hoped our relationship would have the same amount of love and commitment that has lasted my mother and father for 25 years, my parents awkwardly announced their imminent divorce. 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

Maybe he has a good reason for saying that? After all you have been divorced twice...

Well, I don't mean to be cruel, but they both had the OP in common...

Your dad seems very supportive of your love life.

If your own father is saying things like that about you, then maybe that's a sign she SHOULD get out. Besides, those two previous marriages had a common denominator: you.

I had the same advise for a friend who was dating a guy who married a woman after going out for a while then they separated for two years so they could divorce according to Australian law. He is a US citizen. They did end up separating, but over another matter entirely different, but if THEIR parent tells you to run, it's either because they don't like you, or because they really don't trust their kid to treat you right. You be the judge.

You should tell him "I've left my two former wives, and I wont hesitate to leave you in a ditch if you keep screwing this up!"

Hopefully, she left before she looked in the freezer in the basement.

On second thought, he might be trying to save you from a crazy axe murdering psycho bitch and was trying to make sure that she felt she was taking the higher road by dumping you since your father told her so. Just think of it in terms of he wanted someone better for you than what you brought home since he's already seen your last two choices in brides. Just be ready to have him do it again if he doesn't like them or thinks it'll be a repeat of marriage one and two.

Maybe he did it because he wanted her for himself

Well now you know in the future to be honest with your girlfriend. If you're at the stage where you want her to meet your parents, you are certainly serious enough to tell her about your past.
