As others have stated, him asking you is a courtesy.

You say no and they both resent you.

You may as well say yes because if you say no, she's going to marry him anyway.
correct. I hope the OP doesn't think his answer really matters. If you can't trust your daughter's judgement you did something wrong.

Maybe he'll change his mind by next week because he doesn't want to deal with a-hole in laws.

Easy. Does he treat your daughter like you would want her to be treated by her (possibly future) husband?


I do believe this is a real love and they both would do anything for each other. My only hesitation is that he is not in school and I don't really see any future career path for him. Guess I'm just trying to save my daughter from a financially insecure future.

He works out of town a lot and called me tonight see if we could meet to talk. I asked was it about my daughter and he said yes he was going to propose to her.

Dude, it's a formality. More like a courtesy.

You're suppose to say yes regardless of how you feel so they everyone can have a happy life.

I admire the way he came to you to speak about it.

I'd trust you've raised your daughter in such a way she will make the right decision bc it sounds like you've raised her well since her BF knows enough to come to you.

You don't think he can take over and run his father's business when it's time ?

You fricked up big time. He's going to remember that the rest of his life and will resent you.

What you need to be thinking about is how to make it right and become the kind of FIL he can respect.

Take him to lunch at the best steakhouse in town and order the best whiskey they have for both of you. Tell him that you're doing it as a sign that you want only the best for both of them and will do whatever you can to support them.

Nothing wrong with asking him his plan, how he will provide for his family, etc etc.

I was nervous approaching my girl's parents and we were together a long time and I'm super awesome. You just made things that much more stressful on the guy... Now he gets to sit waiting on you, feeling like shite with a million things racing through his mind.

You're a dick

To be clear, this was a phone conversation and I thought that a discussion like this should be done face to face. I told him that I approve and that I had been expecting this for a while.

I can appreciate your desire to protect your child, I get that. Dating/courting for five years and you want to pump the brakes now. Forget about it as you had ample opportunities. Give your blessing and extend your support to each. Time for you to let go

That would be one of the things I would like to talk about.
Sorry if I'm old fashioned.

Thanks. Exactly what I was thinking when I asked him.
