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 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

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

For a minute I though he was asking which hand (right or left)..lol, sorry your future father-in-law acted like inbred hillbilly trailer trash...maybe you can get your fiancé away from that & let her see how normal, mannered people behave.

i think this "traditional" concept some people get hung up on has evovled. marriage of course is a decision between the two people however having a man tell the father he wants to take his beautiful daughter and look after her isnt necessarily a bad thing. its a tough transition for some fathers and they usually want to know thier daughters will be loved, provided and cared for, and a respectful man will give that confidence in some way, be it asking for blessing or whatever is appropriate to your situation. so congrats OP on engagement, congrats on being a top bloke and trying to be respectful. sorry it wasnt recieved so gracefully
