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 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

Quit your job. Then your dad will have no reason to keep you around

My boyfriend asked my parents for their blessing as a sign if respect, not for permission. They said no (I was "too young") but it was ultimately our choice, we got engaged - and married - anyway. And they are all eating their words because I am happier than I've ever been. OP, it's your life. Tell your boyfriend that it's not your dads decision. If he still won't, he's not the kind of guy you want anyway. And stop paying for your lazy ass dad!!!

Why does everyone keep saying marry him anyways? Her boyfriend doesn't want to marry her until her dad says yes. And her dad won't say yes.

This is where you make your mom involved to make him get a job- I'm saying this out of the hope that your mom has a backbone.

This is assuming mom is around, of course. Papa could be a single Papa.

Move out of home and ditch the boyfriend. Win both ways.

Move out and dump the boy who clearly believes you're a piece of property to be exchanged.

Or maybe the boyfriend is simply old school and wants her fathers blessing first? Way too many forever alone derp's on here who think you should leave someone for the smallest things.
