Two possibilities, he honestly didn't remember about your dad at the time, or he's one slick bastard that has no intentions of giving you that ring. Not looking good either way

This could be far fetched but maybe he's religious and he's talking about praying? Waiting for a sign that could be taken as a blessing towards marriage?

Wow!!! He's commendable. Best dump-line ever.

Or new boyfriend?

He is not going to ask her new boyfriend for blessings. That's just silly.

well or the mother or even the grandparents.

Yeah, that's not even cool if that's your only father.

#28, are you ok?

Best comment ever! ^^ OP please do what se said.

THIS! is exactly what you need to do OP!

sex*

54- well if he won't marry her then he's probably not worth it to begin with. And if he leaves because they don't have sex then OP will be better off and can find a guy who does want to be with her.

If he's that old fashioned maybe they aren't having sex.

This really does seem like the only reasonable explanation.

Maybe OP's BF is just concerned about marriage because of how badly men can be fucked if it goes south.. nope, let's just blame and attack the BF!

No, if he knew that OP's dad was dead, then he obviously is just being a cunt about it and she doesn't need him. So, no, OP, tell him that your dad came into your dream and said "Fuck you".

or just bring out the ouija board...

#72, that's what my gf would do! She hella believes in that stuff
