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.

Sometimes parents are horrible! He does not deserve to be called a father! I'm sorry, OP, I wish that people weren't so stupid!

Perhaps your fiancé CAN do better than you. I'm a girl and and I know some chicks are mental. My sister is utterly mental, but I have no real way of telling her BF. I only hope he'll realise before they have kids (because she's mental with her daughter's father). I think, before you freak out at your dad, that you should consider WHY he said what he said... And also: the crap about being supportive? Support is good where it's earned. Don't ever just support blindly because someone's your friend or family. That's being a douche...

I agree, most adults don't do anything without a reason, so OP should ask herself why her dad, of all people, said that. If she can honestly say thet she's a perfectly sane and nice person, then the dad's a douche. If not, well, she's just gonna have to make an effort. You can't become someone you aren't, but that doesn't mean you can just be a **** for the sake of it.

Your dad needs to mind his own business and stop putting unnecessary ideas into your mans head. Your dad is a douche

Wow, that's just mean, OP. I hope you can talk this through with your dad. He should support you.

So who are you planning to ask to walk you down the aisle? My dad would be lucky to even get an invite to watch the wedding if he pulled a dick move like that.

There seems to be quite a few FMLs with parents like these. What the heck is their problem?

He's probably trying to be manipulative, but he's going about it in the wrong way In actuality he probably doesn't want y'all to marry so he approached him thinking it'll be easier to talk him out of it.

Don't think of the worst!! He may be testing your fiancé to see if he is not a jerk. My father in law did the same to me and I stuck with my wife. Now he treats me like one of his own.

My mother-in-law virtually did similar before I married my wife, telling me all these negative things about my wife in the air of "just trying to warn me."
