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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I think my boyfriend of 5 years is going to propose soon. He told me he was thinking about it last year, and spoke to his parents, who said they wouldn't attend the wedding as "It's not their thing." My dad passed away in November and I don't talk to my mum, so I have no one to be excited with and share the news. 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, 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, my boyfriend proposed to me during a funeral. 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
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 girlfriend broke up with me. She told me that her father didn't approve of me and forced her out of the relationship. Her father died 2 years ago. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years broke up with me. Why? He said his mom didn't want us together anymore. His mom died three years ago. 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 dad met my boyfriend for the first time. He soon "casually" took a huge knife from the kitchen drawer and told my boyfriend that he's always wondered what it'd be like to stab someone. FML

tell him you like the old fashion way too, tell him you want to wait until you're married until you have sex's again.

If you want to get married, then leave him. Especially since he brought your dead father into it by saying he'd only marry you if he was alive to give his blessing. How ******* rude.

Never marrying you is hardly the old-fashioned way.

sorry for your loss, sweetheart

Well, then. I hope the old fashioned way included no sex until marriage. He's not too old fashioned if that wasn't the case

I'm sure he loves you op & perhaps just had a little mental hiccup. It does happen to the best of us. Best of luck in your relationship op. May you find your happiness.

Go to a slightly more dodgy medium with your boyfriend, pay him/her to "get in touch with your father" and have him give his blessing from beyond the grave. Problem solved until your boyfriend finds another excuse.

Hopefully he just blurted that one put without thinking correctly unless he meant your stepfather.

That's a mean move on his part if he realized what he was saying
