Today, my girlfriend's father sent me a text message that simply stated "You ruined my relationship with my daughter." I wanted to ask him for his blessing to marry his daughter. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 for permission to marry the girl I love. Her father not only said no, he said "HELL no!" FML
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
Today, my girlfriend's dad offered me $100 to break up with his daughter. I eagerly replied "No", but my girlfriend grabbed the money and said, "Deal." FML
Today, my girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me because I hadn't popped the question to her yet. For the last six months, I have been respectfully trying to convince her over protective father to give me his blessing. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad offered me $100 to break up with his daughter. I eagerly replied "no", but my girlfriend grabbed the money and said, "deal." FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's father for the first time; he asked me to explain my interest in dating her. In a mix of me trying to say "I want to be with your daughter" and "I want to be in your daughter's life" I got confused and said, "I want to be in your daughter." FML
Today, my girlfriend of two years broke up with me because her father, who abandoned her before she was born and just reentered her life, doesn't approve. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

**** the old coot. Your marrying his daughter, not her father. And look at it this way, the worst thing you could do to him is marry his daughter, make her happy and completely ignore him. If he hates you that much then it will kill him to see you doing all that well. ;-)

if you love her, nothing should get in the way. if you make her happy, he should respect that. :)

he sounds like an immature douche who probably ruined his relationship on his own with his daughter. sorry dad, your daighter doesn't want to bone you anymore, she found a real man.

Ha you don't need his permission to do a damn thing. You're a grown ass man. Don't be all scared cause he doesn't like you. Marry his daughter and text him every night "I just ****** your daughter" "I just ****** your daughter" and so on for at least say 3 years.

I don't think he us asking permission because he's scared it's just a nice thing to do especially if the girl is close to her parents and old fashioned the FML here isn't that he can't marry the girl, it's just that this girls dad who Linda hates him will be part of his life for a lonnngggg time and he seems like a douche :(

Op, I'm sure you didn't ruin their relationship. If anything the dad was ruining it on his own. So don't worry about what her dad thinks and just marry her, if her dad gets mad he'll get over it eventually. Plus if his daughter's happy he should be happy for her.

tnfan5594 0
gonna have to agree with 4 that sucks and you don't have to ask his permission although it is a nice gesture but just cause he doesn't want you to marry her doesn't mean you can't
victor864 0
So is that a yes for his blessing?
Gavik 0
YDI for thinking you have to ask permission.
lilmissy1290 0
the op doesnt have to ask but it is a respect thing.. it's really sweet that he wants to ask for the father's blessing
allenrotstein 0
Respect thing? hey, we're not on the 50's anymore... no need to ask permission.

Yeah, because all old traditions should be tossed out. We should stop treating women in a chivalrous manner, too, since that was a few hundred years ago.
XZero_fml 0
not all women. just te ones that take advantage of chivalry. And we all know they're out there. oh and. Justin beiber in that pic made me lol dude.

Marriage (Although a misguided idea) is about two people who love each other, not a clan selling off a daughter to another. If the dad disapproves, too ******* bad. He doesn't own the daughter, nor is he marrying the guy.

so what?? Just talk it out with him. Dont be a coward.

A man doesn't need to ask. The question isn't who is going let me... it's who is going to stop me?

You will think different when your little girl starts dating!

My fiance asked my father. It is a sign of respect that too many "men" in our society lack today. It is not just a stupid tradition that holds no water, especially for the fact that a lot of couples expect/want the brides family to assist in paying for the wedding.
ktbird 0
Every situation is different... Not all dads deserve that "respect" (I'd call it a courtesy) and many couples pay for their own wedding. My dad can't keep secrets.
iamchuck 0
Men ask for a fathers's blessing, not his permission, as if he owned his daughter. if a man ever asks my permission to marry my daughter, I will tell him that he doesn't need it, but that he also doesn't get my blessing. If he asks my blessing, and is deserving, that he will receive. In none of those situations will I have any control over whether my daughter actually marries the man.

I wish my family was like that. My family is very traditional and I had no say so in my life, so my dad would have demanded for my boyfriend to ask permission to marry me.

Simply stated. You're so silly for saying simple stated. Anyway, FYL.

He probably ruined his relationship and is blaming you because you're an easy target and it makes him feel better about his failures as a dad and a person. Let him blame, then marry his daughter.
