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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Maybe he just wanted to make sure he wouldn't back out of the wedding, no matter what. The daddy love right there, although it's a bit awkward

Am I the only one who wonders if maybe Dad was honest and knew his daughter better than any of us?

maybe he is just trying to chase him away and keep anyone from marrying OP...

Which is still just as bad. If he wanted his daughter to not marry the man,he should have spoke about it with her and not force his thoughts onto her.

Could be that your father is just testing him and seeing how he would respond

"**** off?" More like "**** you!"

He loves you that's all that should matter...

If he loved her, why would he say that about her? Sure, maybe he was saying it to try and get her fiancé to go away, but if so, he's still a jerk for saying he could do better than her. He hurt his daughter by not thinking about how she'd feel if she overheard, which she did. Either way, he's a jackass.

This happened to my mom when she was in her 20's. Turns out that the guy that she was going to marry was a cheating asshole. The dad was very aware of his sons behavior and was trying to protect her from it since she was a nice girl. So idk about you OP, any skeletons in your closet?
