Thread: He hates my Dad...

Blueyed,

You know, you are right with what you posted.
Dads never feel like any guy is the perfect one for their "little girl"; and you know what? A lot of times, your dad is going to look at you as his "little girl"!!

He also knows that if you're living with your b/f, be it married or not, he knows you 2 are having sex. Dads are a trip b/c it tears them apart to think that someone is having sex with their "little girl"!! LOL! I also think they think about what THEY did to other girls when they were the "boyfriend" in the days of their youth, and THEIR girlfriend's fathers didn't like THEM back then LOL!!

But that's just the way it is. I don't know if your dad will like your b/f any better if you 2 were to get married. There's nothing you can do, there's nothing your b/f can do to make your dad like him. Just nothing at all.

I know you want the 2 of them to come around each other and get along, b/c that will make you happy and that is an important thing in a young ladys life: to know that her father and her husband or S.O. get along with each other.
Sometimes it just doesn't happen that way.

I can understand your b/f doesn't want to get involved or go out when you parents are there... he just doesn't want to expend the energy needed to try to deal with your dad when he knows you dad doesn't like him anyway, and there's nothing he can do to change it. So, he'd rather just stay away.

At this point, there's nothing you can do about it. Maybe the best thing is for them to be away from each other---even if it hurts you to see the 2 most important men in your life NOT get along. Sometimes, in these instances, space is best. Give it time... they may wind up getting along a little better.

Ok, right, Little... I misread that. Thanks for pointing that out.

Not too much she can do if her b/f doesn't like her dad. You got a point: how does the b/f get along with his parents?

But is it only that he doesn't like her dad b/c to the b/f, the dad acts like a "know-it-all"?

That's pretty powerful--- to hate someone based on that alone. Wow.

Thanks guys! Yeah, my dad really doesn't have a problem with my b/f, besides him thinking that he's not good enough. But he's always nice to him. They used to get along fine, they would go fishing together and all but I don't know what happened?!? I guess I just know how my dad is after 21 years, he picks arguements with me sometimes and i get mad for the moment and move on. Maybe my b/f should just brush it off and not let it bother him instead of dwelling on it and letting it get to him. My dad could be testing him even, because that's how my dad is, maybe my b/f should act like it doesn't bother him...
