Today, my girlfriend's father sent me a text message that simply stated "You ruined my relationship with my daughter." I wanted to ask him for his blessing to marry his daughter. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I asked my girlfriend's father if I could marry his daughter. He smiled, shook my hand, and said "No. Now get out of my house." FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend's dad for permission to take her hand in marriage. He said no, because he doesn't want her marrying a "sexist idiot who treats her like property", which he thinks asking permission amounts to, then told me to grow up. FML
Today, I asked for permission to marry the girl I love. Her father not only said no, he said "HELL no!" FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend's father for permission to take his daughter's hand in marriage. He asked me "Which one?" I said "Uh, the one I'm dating... Lisa." He belched and said, "Yeah sure, throw 'er off a cliff for all I care. Piss off, boy." So much for chivalry. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad offered me $100 to break up with his daughter. I eagerly replied "No", but my girlfriend grabbed the money and said, "Deal." FML
Today, my girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me because I hadn't popped the question to her yet. For the last six months, I have been respectfully trying to convince her over protective father to give me his blessing. FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's father for the first time; he asked me to explain my interest in dating her. In a mix of me trying to say "I want to be with your daughter" and "I want to be in your daughter's life" I got confused and said, "I want to be in your daughter." FML
Today, my girlfriend of two years broke up with me because her father, who abandoned her before she was born and just reentered her life, doesn't approve. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

**** the old coot. Your marrying his daughter, not her father. And look at it this way, the worst thing you could do to him is marry his daughter, make her happy and completely ignore him. If he hates you that much then it will kill him to see you doing all that well. ;-)

Why the hell were you gonna ask for his permission? Your girlfriend is not his possession, nor will she become your possession once you marry her. The only person's permission you need is HERS. This is a tradition that needs to die out. So what, now that you know he doesn't approve, you won't marry her? Actually, she's better off without you! My ex-boyfriend asked my dad permission to propose to me, which I didn't find out until after he had proposed. That made me so mad. What if he had said no? In any case, that relationship didn't work out, because I viewed him as an equal, and he expected me to let him take care of me. Good riddance! Now I'm married to a man who DIDN'T ask my dad for permission, and we are in a marriage of equals.

It's not permission, it's blessing. It's a sign of respect, not that your dad owns you.

I never really understood the point of asking for the father's permission/blessing. The only fathers who wouldn't give their blessing don't deserve the respect that their daughter's boyfriend is showing them by asking. I don't think my dad would give his blessing to anyone who wanted to marry me or my sisters, and it's because he doesn't understand that we're not seven years old anymore. He actually had the nerve to tell me to stop having sex, and got quite a shock when I told him no. >.< OP, if you love your girlfriend, and she loves you, you don't need her father's blessing. Modern women don't really seem to care much for this tradition anymore.

uhhh.. so? if you really did ruin their relationship, they hate each other. because of that, it doesn't matter what her dad says.

That shouldn't stop you from asking her. If she is adamant about you getting his permission, talk to him and TELL him (not ask) that you are going to propose and would like to clear things before you ask her.
