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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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, 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

Today, my boyfriend went to ask my dad for my hand in marriage. All I could make out from the door was mumbling, until profanities started flying. My boyfriend shouted "well she's a SINGLE bitch now!" and stormed out of the house. My dad still refuses to tell me what happened in there. FML
Today, I happily told my parents that my boyfriend proposed to me last night. My dad's response? "Marry that goofy bastard and you're out of the will." 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

Good on you. Hopefully you don't have to deal with him too much in the future

That was classy to ask for his blessing. It sucks that you may have a classless asshole for a father in law.

In fairness, asking for someone's hand in marriage has nothing to do with chivalry. The rules of chivalry are about how to conduct yourself before a medieval joust....

To be fair, you were asking the wrong person for "permission" by going to her (what's a better word for "snowdrift redneck?") dad when the only one who could give permission is, in fact, her.

Asking for his permission is different from asking for his blessing

What if it was the other daughter? If it didn't matter, why would he ask :s

he probably does care about his daughter but doesnt care about who she dates. Would u want him to be over bearing and constantly digging into your business?

chivalry is 12th century battle code.

Don't invite him to the wedding. If he doesn't care about you asking her to marry you then he shouldn't care about missing it.

He's a dead beat dad. I'm glad you're taking her away from that bullshit.
