Today, I broke up with my girlfriend, because her military father, who doesn't like me, continuously threatened my safety for dating her. Now he's threatening to kill me for dumping her. I can't win. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my mom broke it off with her online boyfriend. That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact he's in the military, knows our address, and apparently is threatening to kill himself if she doesn't take him back. She tells me not to worry cause we have guns in the house, but I still don't feel safe. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because of my dad constantly hitting on her. Not because she was disgusted, but because she wants to date him. FML
Today, my girlfriend of two years broke up with me because her father, who abandoned her before she was born and just reentered her life, doesn't approve. FML
Today, I was dumped. My boyfriend was too afraid to break up with me, so he sent the girl he cheated on me with. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. The constant harassment, threats and stalking by my ex-wife have finally driven her away. This is the third time this has happened. My ex physically beat the other two up, and now she’s scared away the one I wanted to marry. The courts have done nothing. FML
Today, my girlfriend of almost a year, and to whom I intended to propose on Thanksgiving, dumped me because her husband will be returning from Iraq soon. And he wants to have a "talk" with me. I didn't know she was married. FML
Today, I've been getting terrifying threats all day. Why? I broke up with my girlfriend and turned her in to the police after she and her friends shared their plan to firebomb a church during Sunday school. I didn't know I was dating a terrorist. I might need a new identity. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me after 3 years. Why, do you ask? Turns out her dad used to bully my dad in highschool and my dad kicked his ass after all this time and sent him to the hospital. FML
Today, my girlfriend of three years broke up with me because I'm in the military and I'm gone too much. The reason I enlisted in the first place is because we agreed that the money and benefits I would earn would help us be able to start a family in the future. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. Apparently, he spoke with my mom and the fact that she wants me dead is a huge red flag. FML

I feel bad for your ex girlfriend, it must suck to have a father who threatens the people who date their children.

You need to let your (ex)girlfriend know about his threats. Tell her you want to be with her but you can't deal with the stress he's putting on you, and she needs to tell him to back off. That way she will blame him if you say you can't be together anymore because he hasn't stopped threatening you.

Don't let this probably marine corps asshole bully you. Report his threats, get evidence!

Would you be shot at the altar if you married her?

F the girl's life. That father has daughter issues? Seriously? Threatening for dating, threatening for backing up, just threatening for whatever because that is the main thing, not the dating/not dating or the happiness of the daughter. You did sensible or he would have been your father-in-law, family forever. Now you can avoid him or even get restraining order.

This is so normal in military families. I don't get why everyone's freaking out.

This shit pisses me off! Why do we as a society accept the idea that a father threatening a boyfriend is just protectiveness? If a girl was being threatened by her boyfriends father I have no doubt charges would be pressed and the police would become involved. A grown adult man, threatening to beat and take the life of a teenage boy. Sounds fairly psychotic to me!

You need to contact the police and get a restraining order.

Sorry to be that guy but it's time to narc on the father, that'll **** up his military career. He should've thought about that before being a tard.

The amount of people talking about how military families are usually like the GF's father as if it makes it right is alarming. Okay, so most of those people don't follow through. Let's say maybe 5% of them do. That's still an awful lot of people beating the shit out of teenagers for dating their kids. Also, there ARE families who follow through with it. I knew three guys in highschool who got the shit beat out of them by father's who were in either military or police service. One of the guys wasn't even dating the daughter- he was as uninterested in girls as someone can be. The girls dad still ended up breaking his arm and collar bone because SHE flirted with him and her dad went nuts over it. (Not that she knew that her dad was going to do that, if how horrified and upset she was in the weeks after was any indication.) So people telling OP to 'man up' are ignoring the fact that while there are people in the service who are fantastic people that only use violence as a last resort, there ARE bad seeds in the service, just like any other demographic. If OP doesn't want to risk their (ex)GF's father being one of the ones that don't understand where the line is (though debatably he crossed it a long time ago), it does not make them any less of a man or woman for making that choice. Sometimes, when you're outnumbered and out flanked by the enemy, it's better to retreat and save what you can, instead of digging in and losing everything on the off chance you might get lucky.
