if you love her, nothing should get in the way. if you make her happy, he should respect that. :)

Lol yah, can I not, possibly, truly, for real, never, today, please have your blessing? Uh........ No? Woohoo!

he sounds like an immature douche who probably ruined his relationship on his own with his daughter. sorry dad, your daighter doesn't want to bone you anymore, she found a real man.

Ha you don't need his permission to do a damn thing. You're a grown ass man. Don't be all scared cause he doesn't like you. Marry his daughter and text him every night "I just ****** your daughter" "I just ****** your daughter" and so on for at least say 3 years.

lmao 18 ^

awwwh! that actually made me feel so sad for the father. ): my daddy and i are close, and i would feel terrible if he thought our relationship was ruined because of the guy i'm seeing.

haha 18 wins :D

I don't think he us asking permission because he's scared it's just a nice thing to do especially if the girl is close to her parents and old fashioned the FML here isn't that he can't marry the girl, it's just that this girls dad who Linda hates him will be part of his life for a lonnngggg time and he seems like a douche :(

25- I doubt op's gf's dad is a pervert... although it is possible! D: maybe he's just too overprotective and started a fight with his daughter. and she got pissed at him? hmmm....that sounds like a movie scene....swear I've seen it many times...

Op is a homewrecker

.... hold on, what kind of man sends a bitchy whiny text message like that?

Ya dun goofd op

Op, I'm sure you didn't ruin their relationship. If anything the dad was ruining it on his own. So don't worry about what her dad thinks and just marry her, if her dad gets mad he'll get over it eventually. Plus if his daughter's happy he should be happy for her.

@6 who gives a ****? Do it OP. Who cares about the dad

f him. he just doesn't want daddy's little girl to grow up and have her own life and man.

Girlfriend's father=jerk Oh yea, 18 you win!!! lol

#1 is amazing i agree with her. oh wait....thats me. nvm.

ur sooo cool #1

after reading the female comments on this thread I'm afraid of having a daughter. such rebels

#72 i know rightttttt.

Wow. Why would he send that in the first place. Marry her anyways

18 ur wrong...its not about permission get that through your head...its about respect.

18 is right

YDI for going to ask him to bless you, I hope he gives you a golden shower, ****.

18 is a ******, don't listen to him or end up in the ghetto stealing shit for a living and when he needs help he has no one to fall back on

hahahahaahhahahaahahahah lol this kids hillarious

ur gfs father texts u?

dude that blows

@#7 exactly lol love has no boundaries!! >< only obstacles :p

Lol

ha! I'm thinking I know what his answer will be. that sucks

gonna have to agree with 4 that sucks and you don't have to ask his permission although it is a nice gesture but just cause he doesn't want you to marry her doesn't mean you can't

the op doesnt have to ask but it is a respect thing.. it's really sweet that he wants to ask for the father's blessing

Respect thing? hey, we're not on the 50's anymore... no need to ask permission.

Yeah, because all old traditions should be tossed out. We should stop treating women in a chivalrous manner, too, since that was a few hundred years ago.

not all women. just te ones that take advantage of chivalry. And we all know they're out there. oh and. Justin beiber in that pic made me lol dude.

Marriage (Although a misguided idea) is about two people who love each other, not a clan selling off a daughter to another. If the dad disapproves, too ******* bad. He doesn't own the daughter, nor is he marrying the guy.

beautiful picture :)

You will think different when your little girl starts dating!

My fiance asked my father. It is a sign of respect that too many "men" in our society lack today. It is not just a stupid tradition that holds no water, especially for the fact that a lot of couples expect/want the brides family to assist in paying for the wedding.

Every situation is different... Not all dads deserve that "respect" (I'd call it a courtesy) and many couples pay for their own wedding. My dad can't keep secrets.

Men ask for a fathers's blessing, not his permission, as if he owned his daughter. if a man ever asks my permission to marry my daughter, I will tell him that he doesn't need it, but that he also doesn't get my blessing. If he asks my blessing, and is deserving, that he will receive. In none of those situations will I have any control over whether my daughter actually marries the man.

I wish my family was like that. My family is very traditional and I had no say so in my life, so my dad would have demanded for my boyfriend to ask permission to marry me.
