Today, I called my very overprotective father, and he took the time to tell me how proud he was of me for finally finding a good and respectable boyfriend. And that he was sorry he misjudged. I was calling for bail money to get my "good, respectable" boyfriend out of jail. FML

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

Today, my dad called for the first time in six months. He needs someone to bail him out of jail. FML

Today, I got to drop off my boyfriend at his newest place of residence: jail. 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
Today, I was getting ready for my first date with a boy I really like when my dad insisted on meeting him. My dad is super protective and a cop. He cleaned his gun in front of my date and made it clear he had to be careful with me. My date started to cry when we got to the car. FML
Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. FML
Today, I got a call from my boyfriend. He was at the police station for breaking into a model home to hook up with the girl he's been cheating on me with for the past four months. I was his one phone call. He was expecting me to bail him out. FML
Today, my estranged dad drunk-dialed me at 4 a.m. to apologize, and to make amends. After crying and forgiving, we hung up. Minutes later, he called back to retract everything he said after remembering how I was rude to him at a party 3 years ago. FML
Today, I had to bail my ex-husband out of jail. He didn't want his new wife to get mad at him. FML

I'm just wondering what he did to end up in jail in the first place.

Is this the second half of the story about the pair who were caught skinny-dipping by the daughters cop father?

Well, really. Not to be rude or anything but I can see why he's so overprotective. It doesn't seem like you're capable enough of choosing the right kind of guy. YDI.

Don't tell him your bailing your boyfriend out. As for a loan and say your behind on something's.make sure you pay him back and if you have a family with your bf maybe then you can come clean to your dad in time. I'd rather not rock the boat. Over-protective parents are really hard to deal with.

Jail- not prison. They are two different jurisdictions. He could have been put in jail for something stupid, it doesn't automatically mean he's a terrible person or that OP is a terrible person for dating him. Her father isn't automatically going to be like ' I'LL NEVER TRUST YOU AGAIN.' because of that. I had to lie a lot when I lived with my parents because my parents were paranoid and over protective over everything. Sometimes it's better to let sleeping dogs lie then to wake the beast.

Nicely put! Kids think they know it all and their parents 'just don't get it'. But I always go back and find myself wishing I had taken my mom's advice. Especilly when it came to the guys I dated. No one here knows WHY her bf was arrested but if it was for anything like B&E, theft, DUI, things like that, OP should really consider rethinking this guy. Maybe dad's gut was right.
