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

While that is respectful and decent of your boyfriend. I think he needs to ignore your dads opinion as it sounds like he is planning on leeching off you for the long haul.

sorry, OP, that really sucks, but at the same time, you should both get a backbone. You could move out (obviously you can afford it if you're supporting the whole house), and it's not wrong for your boyfriend to marry you if your dad is unreasonable. Still, sucky position to be in, FYL

Have your boyfriend pretend to move in. Get the blessing, get married, then move out afterwards.

Sounds like you need to stand up for yourself, tell your boyfriend to stop acting like it's the 1800s and throw his notions out if he loves you an really wants to be with you.

Easy leave the ******* house and dump your dumb ass boyfriend. Your not an object and it is NOT up to your dad to decide what to do with your life that is a disgusting tradition

Stop paying bills...simple as that. If everyone ends up on the street, guess who has the money to get off of it? You. So give your dad a little "motivation"

I think the asking permission to marry the daughter originated a few hundred uears ago, when.girls were married off at the ripe old age of 13.....and back then permission was needed cause.women and girls were viewed as property. Times have changed and women get married when they are adults and can make their own choices.
