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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I heard my boyfriend talking with my father in the backyard. I thought he was asking for my hand in marriage. He was actually telling him about his plans to break up with me. 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, my parents met my boyfriend, and to say it went badly is an understatement. My mom went outside to relax by chain smoking and the shouting, and the screaming only ended when my dad took my boyfriend by the scruff of the neck and threw him out the front door into the street. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked my father for permission to marry me. My father refused, on the basis that I'm the only person in the house with a job, and if I leave he will have to start looking for work. My boyfriend won't marry me without his permission, and my lazy father won't change his mind. FML
Today, my boyfriend met my parents. Within minutes, my dad managed to verbally sever his balls and reduce him to tears, "just for fun" apparently. 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 asked me to marry him. When I happily told my dad, he kept asking if I'd consider taking back my ex. 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, my boyfriend has never gotten along with my dad, but this afternoon during what I thought was a completely normal conversation, he just stood up, yelled he couldn’t take my dad anymore, punched him in the nose, dumped me, and drove away. FML

They probably were playing Mario Cart. I always get pissed off when I play that.

lots of holes in this story...

OP you've capitalised the wrong word. After all, he has called you a bitch so that shows how much respect he really had for you...

Seems like her dad called her a bitch and lied about her so OP's boyfriend wouldn't marry her, so the boyfriend replied with that with the emphasis on "single".

It has nothing to do with respect but rather with anger. It doesn't matter how much you respect someone, if you get really angry with them words will fly if you're the vocal type.

Make your mom force your dad to talk, and call your boyfriend...Try to find out

Sounds to me like he's made up some bullshit story about you cheating or something equally bad to stop him marrying you. If that IS the case, I'm appalled that your boyfriend didn't come to you for an explanation rather than taking it for granted and jumping to conclusions. Maybe you've had a lucky escape there. Try to find out what happened.

My dad's a douche bag too.

Dictate her life? The bf chose to ask for her hand. He could have just proposed and the dad have no say in it/give his opinion. So op, fyl for having an old fashion bf and a father who doesn't support your relationship.

So fyl because she has a boyfriend that respects her and her family enough to get her fathers blessing before taking their relationship to the next level? Wow. Although the boyfriend's statement was completely unnecessary, none of us have all the facts about what happened... It could all be a big joke so the proposal will be a huge surprise or it could have just turned out really bad in there and tempers flared.

That's why I'm afraid to talk to my girls dad to ask her if she can even see me!

So....you're single now..? And the reason is...? If that's how he is, you don't need him.

If he reacted like that maybe he's not the right guy for you.

everyone is plaxing blame on the boyfriend who knows what the dad could have said, maybe the boyfriend was trying to make the dad feel like shit for something he said or the way he was acting
