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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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

Move out of your twilight zone house trapped in some bizarre 1860 parallel universe and get a boyfriend who values your opinion more than your dad's.

I'm with everyone who says you should move out. Even if your boyfriend won't marry you, you have no obligation to live at home until he will. Either suggest you move in together to try living together for a while before you marry (that'd be very sound advice in any case), or find a place of your own. You're obviously able to sustain yourself economically without any trouble, so why not give it a go? It might be good for you, no matter the outcome.

Move out of your freeloading dad's house....better uet, kick him out! considering you are probably paying the hoise payment and.utility bills since daddy refuses to get a job.

Don't blame your boyfriend or your father; blame yourself. Grow up, move out, and stop worrying about other people who need to take care of themselves!

Tell your dad to get a job and stop relying on you, and don't accept excuses. Just say you can't live with him forever.

Awesome boyfriend! Wish I could find a man like that! & sorry for your lazy father... Move out & he'll have to find a job anyway! (:

You want a man who thinks your father's wishes are more important than yours? If that's your cup of tea...

I admire chivalry. Of any kind. My dad is very important to me & his decision is also. I would want my boyfriend to respect my father just like I do. My dad would never say "no" if he knew I really loved him.

Sorry the household relies on the kids to pay the bills, you deserve to live your life the way you want. Personally if I knew I wanted to marry a girl and we were both ready, I wouldn't let anyone else make that decision for me. It's your life
