Today, I got engaged. When I called my father, who is out of state for a few days, to tell him, his response was, "What'd you do that for?" FML
jessiebear159 tells us more.
Thank you for congratulating me. I agree that my father's response was probably just from shock. He called me not long after we hung up the first time and apologized for reacting that way. I am the youngest of his children and his only daughter, he may just not be ready to let me go yet. He has only been married once, to my mother, and they have been married happily for 22 years. I appreciate the advice that was given and I plan to talk to him more about his concerns when he gets back this coming week.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I guess it depends on how old are you..anyways I'm sure you're old enough to make your own decisions. He could've been more supportive but I wish you the best

You should've just said "...because I love him why else would I?"

Does he have concerns? Are they legitimate? Or is partner good enough for his child? If there were true issues, then he probably should have spoken up sooner than this. Listen to his concerns, Weigh the information without emotion and if it's valid act appropriately. If there's no merit to them the decision lies with you, and I encourage you to decide and act on whatever is best for you

Perhaps he wanted your fiancé to ask him for your hand in marriage before he proposed? Maybe he's traditional?

That was my step-dad's response for when my first ever boyfriend asked me out

I think he's just shocked. Parents don't often realise how much their children have grown.
