Today, it became apparent that my father knows more about my boyfriend than I do because he spends so much time interrogating him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad met my boyfriend for the first time. He soon "casually" took a huge knife from the kitchen drawer and told my boyfriend that he's always wondered what it'd be like to stab someone. FML
Today, my dad met my boyfriend. It took less than 10 seconds for him to accuse my boyfriend of being a "queer" because his handshake was "too limp". FML
Today, I introduced my dad to my boyfriend. I gave my dad the middle finger and he thumped me on the head, as we've been playfully doing for years. My boyfriend got all mad and tried to fight my dad. FML
Today, my dad joked he’d have to fight my boyfriend to find out if he’s worthy. My boyfriend grew up abused by his dad and older brothers, and has a powerful instinct to fight back. My dad is now out cold on the floor and my boyfriend is in the corner rocking back and forth and crying. FML
Today, I finally decided to introduce my boyfriend to my parents. Surprisingly, he and my father already knew each other, so I asked him how they met. Now I know where my boyfriend gets all his weed. 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
Today, my parents spent more time, money, and effort on my boyfriend's birthday present than they ever have on any of mine. FML
Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. My dad took one look at him, sighed and said, "You deserve someone better. Someone who is responsible, and has their priorities straight in life." Beyond upset, I told my dad that I love him. My dad disgruntledly responded, "I was talking to him." FML
Today, after meeting my boyfriend's family for the first time, I found out that he, his sister, and their father enjoy talking loudly over the person who is currently talking, because what anyone else says is not worth listening to. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. Turns out his dad is the asshole customer that I complain about all the time. He recognized me too and spent the entire dinner making passive-aggressive remarks about how bad of an employee I am. FML

It's not overprotecting until he breaks out the polygraph.

Tell him to fudge off. But replace fudge.

I mean he's just concerned. If she was a boy he probably wouldn't care. What's a girl gonna to a guy? Throw a lamp at him? Like a guy can be so much more dangerous, so it doesn't hurt to look into it.

What do you replace fudge with? Anybody? I must know.

I guess I majorally over reacted but there have been a few protective patents posts that seem to over step small boundaries. I'm also experiencing this in my life and I'm 27!

I thought that's what a dad is supposed to do.

Dads ARE supposed to be protective over their children, but before he is a dad, he is a human, and as a human his duties are to be respectful to other humans. If he continuously interrogates his kid's partner, its kind of disrespectful. I'm sure he has good intentions for his daughter though.

Having seen the interrogation seen from the movie Taken, I hope for your boyfriend's sake that your father isn't Liam Neesen.

I don't even have a dad. You're lucky he's there for you, even if it seems embarrassing!!
