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

What is this, the Stone Age? Your father doesn't own you, and neither does your boyfriend. Get out and live your own life. Find a man who respects you and doesn't consider you a piece of property that he can't have unless you're sold to him by your lazy-ass father. I'm almost afraid to ask if there's a dowry involved.

If you're old enough and able to be married.... Why the hell are you still living with your dad/family?? Move out, then he has to find a job regardless.

People who are of Mexico descendants have a tradition of asking the bride's father for permission to marry her. Usually they don't move in together until they are married.

Simple solution tell your dad you quit the job (when u didnt actually quit) after weeks of annoying him at home hell let you marry

.!. O.o ... this is what you should tell your dad...

If you can't see a way out of this situation then nothing anyone says is going to sound right. You have to do what's best for you.
