Can't believe I didn't think to not try to have a conversation on a car ride.
Explained how I did not appreciate comparisons, how I respected her father and his relationship with his family.
But said that our relationship is not her parents, no matter how perfect it is (her words). How we had different up bringings and would likely have different opinions and that I believe it is crucial to work these out in an appropriate manner.


good

I was promptly shut down, and told her parents relationship is how she wants hers. That's her goal. Then questioned why I was trying to put her parents down when "I don't even know them".. 2 year relationship..
Now riding in silence. 3 more hours

Pointing your finger and saying "I want that" is not effectively communicating. Which is what she is essentially doing by saying their relationship is what she wants. I cannot mimick her father, or her parents relationship. Anybody saying "be like her father" isn't grasping this whole situation.
Small town. Small Catholic HS. No relatives in the area (1000+ miles).
They are an extremely close family with little to no friends. He has no hobbies outside of maintains his kids cars and monitoring her personal checking account, not their joint savings. Seriously, she has gotten a phone call within 2 hours of making 2 purchases at the same location, thinking it was a computer malfunction.
I'm just not him. I'm extremely giving and love to provide, which could be her reason for choosing me. But I am not the turn signal fluid checking father he is. I am not going to bite my tongue, like I've seen him do when her parents discovered I smoked cigerattes. If something is bothering me, I'm addressing it. She apparently just can't handle healthy confrontation is what I'm concluding. Or I'm not handling it as healthy as I could.

Edit: anybody saying I'm not driving because I'm posting must have forgot the amount of piss breaks a girl takes.

I'm glad my parents and my wife's parents had shitty marriages. They set expectations pretty low

My wife's dad is deceased - she holds with high regard. It is a delicate balance as long as she is not putting you down in comparsion, and you can discuss different view point you are good.

For example my wife wanted to lease cars bc that is what her dad did and he was financial smart. I explained to her we were poors and would drive car longer than financing terms. Not saying she was happy but understood

Great example of it's not WHAT you say but HOW you say it.

Different scenarios for newlyweds vs older couples.

But that's just it. He knows what she is looking for and can pair up what he wants as well to make a educated decision on what to do with this relationship. It's not like she is being shady as frick about it.

This is nowhere as complicated as it seems. He just can't meet her standards which is okay. Punt the ball.

It's not sick...its sarcastic and eye opening to the fact that you shouldn't care WTF your parents are doing compared to your relationship.

How old are you and your gf?

Edit: Yall come from two very different social economic brackets. It will never work.

Get out. If this girl's father has enough respect for you to approve of you dating his daughter and wanting to hang out, it should be enough for his daughter to accept that you are your own man.
