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

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
