So...I''m in quite a predicament. I''m quite a traditionalist, but have made the decision to move in with my girlfriend before we are engaged. My plan was to ask her father for permission before we moved in together (over Xmas), but there wasn''t a chance over the two days to pull him aside and have a chat.
Moving forward, we are now living together and have been for 3 weeks, but I need to ask her father for permission. Her dad isn''t too concerned with us moving in together, but her mother is pretty upset and claims I have taken something special from her daughter by moving in together before the commitment.
Any suggestions about how to bring up the topic with the parents under somewhat hostile circumstances?
Thanks,
D
