Today, my dad had a chat with my fiancé, telling him he can do better than me, and to think carefully before going through with our wedding. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I heard my boyfriend talking with my father in the backyard. I thought he was asking for my hand in marriage. He was actually telling him about his plans to break up with me. FML
Today, my father shot my fiancé. He's fine, but the wedding is off. 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 introduced my girlfriend to my dad. I thought it was a good idea at the time, at least until he took her aside for a private chat. During the chat, he told her all about my two previous marriages and advised her to "get out while you can". FML
Today, I overheard my dickhead dad telling my girlfriend that she's too good for me, then asking if she really wants to settle for someone like me. 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 was talking to my dad about how I don’t think I love my fiancé anymore. He sat me down and gave me a severe talking to that amounted to, “We’re a respectable religious family, he’ll be a good husband, you’ll make babies and grow old together. You don’t need to love him to do that.“ FML
Today, my fiancé told me it was a mistake to propose to me. FML
Today, I happily announced that I'm getting married. My dad immediately shot back, "And I'm getting E.D., who gives a damn?" Just when I thought he was joking, he muttered that "the bitch" will take everything in our divorce. Moment ruined. FML
Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. My dad took one look at him, sighed and said, "You deserve someone better. Someone who is responsible, and has their priorities straight in life." Beyond upset, I told my dad that I love him. My dad disgruntledly responded, "I was talking to him." FML

What an asshole dad move!

What's your dad's deal? Usually it's the other way around and they insist that no man is good enough for their princess. But congrats on the engagement either way.

Wow, he is so encouraging

Maybe he was testing him, trying to see if he'd run out just because of what he said

OP--How well did your Dad usually get along with your fiance? Did your Dad really respect him? If not, it's possible that your Dad's behavior was just a ploy to break the two of you up because he didn't think your fiance was good enough for his daughter...

I'm wondering if the dad had his reasons. Love is sometimes blind, people fall in love with someone that is bad for them. I had an ex as nice as she was wanted to get married, but really didn't have anything planned for the future for herself. Possible, as terrible as it was the OP's father sees something in the boyfriend that bothers him or the OP's dad could just be an asshole, but usually there are reasons that go beyond the parent is an ass.

You know what, don't invite your dad to the wedding. If he's that much of an asshole, he doesn't deserve to be a part of it.

slight to far

Not only is he not supportive of their relationship, he is also putting his daughter down by saying there are other women better than her that her fiancé can go after. That is very disrespectful on her part. He shouldn't be invited to the wedding he is trying to cancel.

I think every dad says that. just to make sure the fiance doesnt have 2nd thoughts and leave you waiting at the alter.
