Today, my dad had a chat with my fiancé, telling him he can do better than me, and to think carefully before going through with our wedding. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I heard my boyfriend talking with my father in the backyard. I thought he was asking for my hand in marriage. He was actually telling him about his plans to break up with me. FML
Today, my father shot my fiancé. He's fine, but the wedding is off. FML
Today, my dad is refusing to let me marry my fiancé because he said no when my dad asked for a loan of £10,000 to help clear some gambling debts. Apparently that shows my fiancé has poor family values and will be a bad father and an alcoholic husband. Impressive logical thinking there. 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
Today, I overheard my dickhead dad telling my girlfriend that she's too good for me, then asking if she really wants to settle for someone like me. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me to marry him. When I happily told my dad, he kept asking if I'd consider taking back my ex. FML
Today, I was talking to my dad about how I don’t think I love my fiancé anymore. He sat me down and gave me a severe talking to that amounted to, “We’re a respectable religious family, he’ll be a good husband, you’ll make babies and grow old together. You don’t need to love him to do that.“ FML
Today, my fiancé told me it was a mistake to propose to me. FML
Today, I happily announced that I'm getting married. My dad immediately shot back, "And I'm getting E.D., who gives a damn?" Just when I thought he was joking, he muttered that "the bitch" will take everything in our divorce. Moment ruined. FML
Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. My dad took one look at him, sighed and said, "You deserve someone better. Someone who is responsible, and has their priorities straight in life." Beyond upset, I told my dad that I love him. My dad disgruntledly responded, "I was talking to him." FML

What an asshole dad move!

What's your dad's deal? Usually it's the other way around and they insist that no man is good enough for their princess. But congrats on the engagement either way.

It could have been that the dad didn't like the guy and he just used a twisted way of trying to get him to leave.

That is really not cool coming from the dad and he better not try that BS on her wedding day.

maybe he doesn't like him and he's only saying that because he thinks you can do better, you need to talk to him girl bc that's f* cked up what he said. But don't let that break you two love birds up.

It's always attacks from the FML parents.

Maybe it was a test? And your fiancé aced it.

My guess is that you are right and the only way he thinks he can end up their relationship is by saying this to OP's fiancé.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. I agree with #28

Her dad talking to the fiance shouldn't even matter. Why would they be engaged if they weren't truly in love? Then again sometimes people get married for money but I don't think that applies here

He's a dick. Plain and simple.

Instead of scaring away the guy. Maybe the father is lying trying to get the BF to leave by saying he could do better.

This guy clearly is trying to break up their relationship while bashing on his own daughter. He definitely DOES NOT know best!

He's sneaky.

Not quite.

What if secretly your dad just doesn't want you to get married?
KiaKarma 11
I don't think it's much of a secret.

If he really loves you, he won't leave you. If he leaves because of this, he probably doesn't love you and you should find somebody who does, and not marry him. So, this is basically just preventing a bad marriage for the both you.

I agree 100%. My boyfriend went through this 4 years ago with his mom and thankfully he didn't listen. Sometimes parents think they know best but really don't.

It is possible that the dad is testing the fiance's dedication to his daughter, although in a less than pleasant manner.

That's out of line. I hope you confronted him.

He should be telling you that you're too good for your fiancé. Not the other way around

Plot twist: Your fiancé is cheating on you with your dad and he wants them to run away together. But seriously that's a dick move…

How awkward that would be
