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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I asked my girlfriend's dad for permission to take her hand in marriage. He said no, because he doesn't want her marrying a "sexist idiot who treats her like property", which he thinks asking permission amounts to, then told me to grow up. 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 asked for permission to marry the girl I love. Her father not only said no, he said "HELL no!" 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 asked my girlfriend's father if I could marry his daughter. He smiled, shook my hand, and said "No. Now get out of my house." 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 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
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 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 asked me to marry him. When I happily told my dad, he kept asking if I'd consider taking back my ex. FML

So move out! Your father will be forced to look for a job, and his reason for denying permission to your boyfriend will be gone. It's not rocket science! (Although he may decide to ostracize you... my boyfriend was ostracized for refusing to support HIS father's lazy ass. So you'll have to decide: life of your own, or becoming your dad's retirement plan?)

Why wouldn't you just move out... Then your dad will have to get a job anyway, and he probably wouldn't care if you got married...

Seriously if your father had a good reason I'd understand but being lazy like that no. How about you just move out anyway so it won't matter if you are the only person in the house with a job.

So quit your job, your father will have to actually find one then and he would have no reason to say no.

The more you should move out. He is leeching your money like a freeloader.

Move out anyway, especially if you are already paying all the bills.

First, move out. Second, propose to your boyfriend. That'll be a turn up.
