i had the ring. talking to her father was the last thing i had to do before proposing.

haven't bought it yet, but have picked it out. I don't see her parents very often and want to use the opportunity. I'm still a couple of months out on the ring.
i know that her parents wouldn't be able to keep the secret long so i was already prepared to ask her before i talked to her dad.

I'm having a daughter any day now and I will care a lot or not at all, depending on what kind of guy he is.

That's bc you're a weirdo.

I let him know I was going to, but I didn't ask him.
My wife probably would have said "no" if I had asked him.

Yep. Went with her dad to a LSU baseball game. I asked him while we were at the game. He was happy I finally asked

that's really disrespectful to your girlfriend and if her father is a decent person he should honestly be offended by your assumption that he would be impressed by your thoughts of his having any control over his daughter's life. unless of course your girlfriend is a child.
You're reading way too much into it.

Yep...even though she had been married before. I felt it right to ask her dad, and get their blessing to be a part of the family. It is a respect thing.

YES

I'm not judging. That's my opinion on the TRADITION not the people partaking of it to maintain status quo. There's a big difference.

And that's perfectly fine. I'm not judging the people who do this or expect it. I'm poking a little fun sure. But it's not my cup of tea. And it's kind of funny how that makes me less classy or alienates me from proper fatherhood.
It doesn't alienate you from proper fatherhood, it alienates you from HER father. When you marry a girl, you marry her family too, and she marries yours (my SO is pretty concerned about that part
). If you want her father to ever be a positive influence in your life, her life, or the lives of your future children, you will ask him. If you don't and she hates her father, she's probably immature and you should dump her before she steals half of your shite.

Nah man that makes us TRASHY and warrants "stay classy" for this line of thinking.

I asked her mom and dad in the kitchen at the time and his response was "you sure this is what you want to do?"... Yes sir... "ok, cause the oldest one thought so and she's on husband number 3".... mom steps in and says "honey, it's 4 not 3" lol
