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

You know, you don't have to be married to move out of your parents' house these days. Shocking, right?

Marry your boyfriend, he asked permission, he did his best! Now time do do your best and get married! Tell your boyfriend that the refusal wasn't based on the fact that he's not good enough but that your father is not good enough! Tell your dad to act his age and have him call your boyfriend and give hid blessing! Your dad needs a job to help contribute to your wedding!

If your boyfriend doesn't respect you enough to consider you an independent human being, as opposed to your dad's private property, it's time to find a new boyfriend.

54 - We don't know for sure that the boyfriend doesn't consider her an independent human being. It could well be that he's determined to get the father's blessing so there's no bad blood, etc.

Quit your job, then he'll HAVE to find his own job.

If you can't just move out and if your boyfriend is ok with you being "jobless" for a bit, If you're close-ish with your boss or if they're a sucker for tales like yours, maybe you guys can come up with a plan to get "laid off" from your job or something. Then you can either move in with your bf or your dad won't have a reason to say no. Then once everythings in order get a "phone call" saying you were re-hired or something :3 Your dad sucks. Even mine says that when my bf comes to ask him for permission unless he thinks there's something seriously wrong he'll just say yes because I get to make the final decision. Chances are you're over 18 so it stopped being his decision that very moment.
