Today, it became apparent that my father knows more about my boyfriend than I do because he spends so much time interrogating him. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, my dad met my boyfriend for the first time. He soon "casually" took a huge knife from the kitchen drawer and told my boyfriend that he's always wondered what it'd be like to stab someone. FML
Today, my dad met my boyfriend. It took less than 10 seconds for him to accuse my boyfriend of being a "queer" because his handshake was "too limp". FML
Mixed signals
Today, I introduced my dad to my boyfriend. I gave my dad the middle finger and he thumped me on the head, as we've been playfully doing for years. My boyfriend got all mad and tried to fight my dad. FML
Freaked
Today, my dad joked he’d have to fight my boyfriend to find out if he’s worthy. My boyfriend grew up abused by his dad and older brothers, and has a powerful instinct to fight back. My dad is now out cold on the floor and my boyfriend is in the corner rocking back and forth and crying. FML
Today, I finally decided to introduce my boyfriend to my parents. Surprisingly, he and my father already knew each other, so I asked him how they met. Now I know where my boyfriend gets all his weed. FML
Today, my boyfriend met my dad for the first time. The first thing he said to him was, "You're an idiot for dating my daughter." FML
Today, my parents spent more time, money, and effort on my boyfriend's birthday present than they ever have on any of mine. FML
Punching
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
Welcome to hell
Today, after meeting my boyfriend's family for the first time, I found out that he, his sister, and their father enjoy talking loudly over the person who is currently talking, because what anyone else says is not worth listening to. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. Turns out his dad is the asshole customer that I complain about all the time. He recognized me too and spent the entire dinner making passive-aggressive remarks about how bad of an employee I am. FML

Classic over protective father behavior, does he at least like your boyfriend?

Crikey! Look! A wild thread jacker in its natural habitat, executing a fantastic thread jack!

I feel like this dad might've gone a little too far though. I understand getting know your daughter's bf, but once you call it interrogating, it goes too far

or she could be overreacting.

Sometimes guys need to be interrogated. When they know a girl has a no nonsense father, they learn to treat her with the respect she deserves.

Well, you can't blame him for caring about who his daughter dates. No telling who you can trust these days.
lnheritance 19
Reminds me of the movie Meet the Parents.

Personally I would want a guy to treat me right because he respects me, not because he's scared of my dad. I understand that dad's want to protect their daughters but they have to let them grow up and make their own decisions too. If my father was one of the properly overprotective types and couldn't treat my boyfriend in a civil, non-judgemental way then he just wouldn't get to meet them, period.
spluver0005 17
I guess I don't want my dad doing that for me. By the time you're old enough to date, you need to be responsible for yourself and not have you dad fight your battles. I'd rather have my boyfriend respect me because he cares and not because he's afraid of my dad

He seems to have good intentions but interrogating someone constantly is more like harassing them. If your child has a partner, it definitely is nice to get to know them, but interrogating them is a bit rude and disrespectful.

#30, it seems you've just about accurately predicted the future of your comment. Since you're on a roll, what are my lucky numbers?
lexiieeex3 32
Exactly. OP is lucky her father actually cares.

He tried to trick us by copying the buried message. Little did he know, It's actually italicized

But what if he prefers the name "Margaret"?
cakefete2 31
Well, we can ask him. Then, regardless of his answer, we can follow up with, "how do you like it when someone else is asking all of the questions?"

58 & 65: it was a pun I did on purpose. It's actually something Homer once said on The Simpsons

Judy ?

I get why he did it, but I still feel sorry for your boyfriend.

He is looking out for ya... Loool.
DedicatedNova 13
He's a dedicated father.
elmatador615 12
Does he bring out a shotgun while he's at it?
cakefete2 31
He cleans his pistol at the table when they talk, somehow managing to resemble the gun perfectly without ever once breaking eye contact.
mistertbawk420 10
Yeah I would start to get worried if he invites the boyfriend out on a hunting trip
mistertbawk420 10
How does one go about resembling a pistol?
cakefete2 31
That question, my friend, is what makes the dad extra scary.
hmanonfire 6
You put it back together? What's the question here?
slyde32 12
resembling a pistol would mean her father looks like one, which could be even scarier, reassembling a pistol on the other hand, would be putting one back together
sayyestothedress 24
It's a father that cares about his daughter, you should be glad you have such a caring father, some people don't have fathers. Be thankful!

There's a difference between being loving and making your child's life or someone else's miserable.
Wingless_Heart 9
Yeah it could be miserable... But it could lead up to a "I told you so" moment for either one of them.

Is your boyfriend's name Gaylord ******?

Did your bf have to submit to a full background check? I feel if you and this guy rouns the bases dad may find out more than he hoped.
cakefete2 31
Background check, fingerprinting, blood work, credit report... You know, the usual.
