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.

what a dick.

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

That's ****** up
