Today, my aunt informed me that my dad thinks my boyfriend is a loser deadbeat because he hasn't proposed to me after two years of dating and co-habitation. He hasn't asked because I already made it very clear I have no interest in marriage. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my boyfriend bought me a ring for my birthday. My dad now refuses to talk to me, because he thinks I'm engaged. My boyfriend thinks it's funny, because he'd never marry me. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he likes to do things the old-fashioned way, and that he wouldn't propose to me without my father's blessing. My dad died 3 years ago, and he knows it. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked my father for permission to marry me. My father refused, on the basis that I'm the only person in the house with a job, and if I leave he will have to start looking for work. My boyfriend won't marry me without his permission, and my lazy father won't change his mind. FML
Today, I happily told my parents that my boyfriend proposed to me last night. My dad's response? "Marry that goofy bastard and you're out of the will." FML
Today, my girlfriend rejected my proposal, claiming she refuses to get married until she finally finds her dad, so he can walk her down the aisle. Babe, he walked out when you were 7 and hasn't been seen or contacted you since. Just say you don't wanna marry me so we can both move on. FML
Today, my dad is refusing to let me marry my fiancé because he said no when my dad asked for a loan of £10,000 to help clear some gambling debts. Apparently that shows my fiancé has poor family values and will be a bad father and an alcoholic husband. Impressive logical thinking 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 boyfriend went to ask my dad for my hand in marriage. All I could make out from the door was mumbling, until profanities started flying. My boyfriend shouted "well she's a SINGLE bitch now!" and stormed out of the house. My dad still refuses to tell me what happened in there. 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, my boyfriend asked me to marry him. When I happily told my dad, he kept asking if I'd consider taking back my ex. FML

Maybe try talking to your dad about it. Explain that you don't actually want to get married

sorry for posting this here, but why do some people not want to get married? I always thought that everyone would want to.
evilscorpi 29
sometimes fear, due to past relationships or seeing what others go through. ..that's it for me

57, because some people don't see the need to have a piece of paper that says your married. You can be committed to each other with out being married.

#57 Marriage seems pointless to me. If I love someone, I don't need a piece of paper to prove that I'll stay with that person forever. I'm also not interested in the expenses a marriage brings.

Marriage seems outdated to a lot of people. Other than tax breaks, what is the difference between being committed and being married?

Some people dislike the institution itself. It's perfectly possible to have a long-term relationship/commitment that functions exactly like marriage in all but name.

Nah, he'll just tell you that you're the deadbeat loser.
walid820014 20
And you tell him it is my life not yours...

Don't let someone else have a bad rep when you can set the record straight yourself.

So make that clear to your father. You never want your parents to not have a good relationship with your partner, especially over something like this.

Tell your dad about it, if you know the true reason don't be mad at him for it. Oh and there is probably a joke or pun to be discovered but I won't sniff it out...

It doesn't matter what your dad thinks. As long as you're happy that's all that matters.

So why not say something instead of letting your dad think the guy you love is a loser? That's not fair to your boyfriend.
crudeandrudeguy 29
Just tell your dad you don't want to get married because you enjoy actually having sex... If he's married he'll understand

As others have suggested, you should explain things. Explain that your boyfriend is secretly quite wealthy and doesn't want to share ownership of his riches, and that you've been slowly whittling away at his detached exterior, convincing him that you're the only one who will ever TRULY love him. You expect concession and a subsequent proposal any day now. Your boyfriend won't seem like a loser, and your father will be proud of his cunning daughter!

Lying to her father would only make things worse! This is some of the worst advice I've ever seen. She's way better off telling the truth rather then making this 1000x more complicated then it already is.

It was a joke—a bad one, but a joke nonetheless.
TokioCore 17
OMG its a joke. -__-
philosophicallll 25
I love it when people who don't understand try to argue. :')

Good luck with a joke around here. (I thought it was funny for whatever that's worth.)

Trip, how can there be anyone in the comment sections that takes you seriously? Also, why are you going missing? You're the reason I go in comment sections.
Tripartita 44
I assume it takes years of practice and dedication, but given enough time, you TOO could take my comments seriously, FSG! I blame college for my absence. But, hey, at least somebody called me Trip. That's pretty cool.
