I don’t care about anyone’s opinions about “family,” a real man, a grown man, does what he wants to do, when he wants to do it, and if his dad behaved that way in front of you, HE would ask his dad to leave. I wouldn’t tolerate that from anyone unless I just didn’t care about the girl. Family either has to accept your life and your choices or they won’t be in your life anymore. This guy doesn’t have the spine to stand up to his own dad, which is an essential element of growth. I love my dad, he’s very supportive on the whole, but there are times he has to be put in his place - a gentle reminder that while advice is appreciated, judgment is not.

Find a guy who stands up for you to anyone. If anyone messes with my fiancé, friends, family, or strangers, I put them in their place so fast they don’t know what hit them. You deserve that treatment! Don’t settle for less.

That may be how it works in your culture, but we're not talking about yours, are we?

Can someone explain to me why so many women date men like this?

The sex can't be that good, can it?

Ladies, please choose better men than this.

If a man says he doesn't want to marry you believe him. Don't try to change his mind cause you're not the woman he wants to be with. Simple.

In this case, she does seem to be the woman he wants to be with, but his dad doesn't like her. He wants her to change his dad's mind, and win him over. Did you read the OP?

But I agree; as do others here; if he's not good with money, it probably wouldn't work out in the end, anyway. Conflicts over money is one of the top two reasons for divorce. I think I posted that earlier.

I read it and I think she can do better than him. She's got her life together, this guy? Not so much.

Kick him to the curb. Easier said than done when you love the person of course.
