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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

**** 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. ;-)

He's obviously trying to make excuses for himself. If their relationship is ruined, one of them did it, not you.

NEVER give your girlfriends father your cell phone number.

Its perfectly normal for a father to be jealous of his daughters boyfriend . I say still ask him for the blessing. Hopefully everything works out =)

He's a total dick. Don't ask him a damn thing, just go ahead and propose to her. And if he asks why you didn't ask him first, just tell him 'Because you're a dick.'

I wouldn't consider marrying a man that didn't have my father's blessing. Those are bridges you don't burn.

I hate comments like this, and people who think like this. It doesn't matter how much you like him, how much he has done or sacrificed for you; if your snob of a father doesn't like him, then he's out. I hope you marry someone just like you so that all the pairs of you "exclusive club" morons can be weeded out.

Who cares about his blessing.

I don't get why anyone needs their parents' permission to get married, IDC what my dad thinks of anyone if I want to marry them so... whatever

I just think the whole concept of "giving your daughter away" is very outdated and frankly dumb. Girls aren't property so a blessing shouldn't matter.
