WHEN DADDY SAYS NO đź’Ť
So Ive been dating an amazing man for nearly 3 months now. Since the day we met we both felt extremely connected the other and since then have spoken about marriage frequently. He comes from a family where his grandparents got married within 10 days of knowing each other. We both are 20 years old. He is in the marines and I am going to school and working. I know that he is planning on proposing to me by the end of the year and we have spoken about tying the knot in 2019 during the summer. My father is one of my best friends and closest confidants. When I brought up my marine boyfriend to him over the weekend he was open to our relationship but expressed concern about me dating a military man, (my father was a staff sergeant for many years) knowing that they have the tendency to get married quickly “with only two dollars to their name expecting to be able to care for a wife and kids.” I love my parents so much and while I would never intentionally hurt them, I feel confident in our decision to commit to each other for the rest of our lives. My family loves him already, but I’m scared about how my father will react when he finds out my boyfriends intentions. I’m scared my parents will kick me out, (they’ve allowed me to stay at their house rent free so long as I continue to go to school) or that they’ll disown me. My parents are not together and I live with my mother but the house is in my fathers name. Any advice on how to ease my father into the idea of our marriage? My boyfriend will be asking for my fathers permission. But as I said. Even if he says no... it’s happening. Please only positive vibes. I feel I’ll already be dealing with enough negativity once the word is out anyways.
