This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff
San Francisco, United States
Gravel?
Today, I met my girlfriend's dad at a tennis game. I could tell he despised me from the start, but it only got worse when I played him. He smashed the ball at me and I went to hit it, but I missed and fell over, tearing my arm up on the gravel. He had a smirk on his face for the rest of the day. FML

When it said that the dad smashed the ball at OP, I was waiting for it to say "and it smashed mine too." Look on the bright side, he didn't hit a tennis ball into your junk.

Have a smirk on your face. You got his daughter around your arms. Even if it's torn a little bit

You have to give it to the FML community for always showing the silver lining. :}

what a jerk but eventually he'll come around,my dad was the same way except he used to threaten them..... lol :/ now im 22 so he cant do chit

he won't come around, he's supposed to hate you, its in his DNA. He might however start to be nice depending on the age of his daughter and you, and how you treat her. if you guys are underage, he's just going to figure you want to get in his little girls pants. Sorry OP, you will be the same with your daughter if you know what's good for her.

33 no, if he knows what's good for her, he'll treat his daughter like a human, not like a piece of property that's too stupid to handle life. That's what my dad did, and I respect him greatly for not acting like I was a child incapable of making my own decisions when it comes to my partners.

The fact is, this generation is too oblivious, ignorant, and childish for most parents to treat their kids accordingly

Aw I'm sorry OP, that sucks. Hope you're doing ok.

Hopefully in the future you and your girlfriend won't have to be around that asshat as often. FYL man, my gf's parents really aren't big on me either so I feel ya.

Hopefully in the future, the dad will act his age and respect and trust his daughters' judgment and choice of partner in OP. Dad's can be overly protective of their daughters, (understatement) but when they take off their dad hats and do the man-to-man thing, they usually see their mistake.

That sucks, OP! Hopefully as time goes on, he will start to like you.

I hope you didn't look ridiculous in front of your 'love'.

Exactly. OP should spend the rest of the time pouting and wincing and having her bandage and take care of it in front of her dad. Well, not pouting, but biting his lip in anguish and punching furniture all manly like. Bonus points if she kisses it to make it better.

Didn't read the whole thing but...YEAH exactly

And that's the type of delinquent reaction that the dad is waiting for. So don't prove him right by acting like a pubescent boy, act like a respectful man, a gentleman, and show the dad that you're not scared of his macho bullshit mindgames.

Ah a classic: Dad hates daughter's boyfriend, finds ways to get rid of him, and finally boyfriend is left confused and terrifed.
