Today, my boyfriend asked my father for permission to marry me. My father refused, on the basis that I'm the only person in the house with a job, and if I leave he will have to start looking for work. My boyfriend won't marry me without his permission, and my lazy father won't change his mind. FML

You know, you don't have to be married to move out of your parents' house these days. Shocking, right?

What the hell. Just move out and force your deadbeat dad find a way to support himself

Marry your boyfriend, he asked permission, he did his best! Now time do do your best and get married! Tell your boyfriend that the refusal wasn't based on the fact that he's not good enough but that your father is not good enough! Tell your dad to act his age and have him call your boyfriend and give hid blessing! Your dad needs a job to help contribute to your wedding!

Man if my dad did that i ask him what kind of father r uhh

If your boyfriend doesn't respect you enough to consider you an independent human being, as opposed to your dad's private property, it's time to find a new boyfriend.

54 - We don't know for sure that the boyfriend doesn't consider her an independent human being. It could well be that he's determined to get the father's blessing so there's no bad blood, etc.

Quit your job, then he'll HAVE to find his own job.

If you can't just move out and if your boyfriend is ok with you being "jobless" for a bit, If you're close-ish with your boss or if they're a sucker for tales like yours, maybe you guys can come up with a plan to get "laid off" from your job or something. Then you can either move in with your bf or your dad won't have a reason to say no. Then once everythings in order get a "phone call" saying you were re-hired or something :3 Your dad sucks. Even mine says that when my bf comes to ask him for permission unless he thinks there's something seriously wrong he'll just say yes because I get to make the final decision. Chances are you're over 18 so it stopped being his decision that very moment.

move out,marry him plain and simple. me and my gf are kinda going through the same but not exactly.
