I know this is seen as kind of old-fashioned, but many guys still ask for dad''s blessing for the proposal and marriage. My SO has told me that he will do the same.
I know that the ring is in the works, or might be ready already (the other day he said he had good news but wouldn''t tell me what it was and this was about 1.5 weeks after he made the downpayment) so at least that''s taken care of. But he has not talked to my parents yet (or else EVERYONE is really good with keeping their mouths shut haha). I know he is kind of nervous about it but he has nothing to worry about. Yes my dad can be difficult and might give him a hard time for kicks but my dad loves him and they have a good relationship so my SO''s scaredycat syndrome is getting on my nerves.
I talked to my mom about it and in her opinion all my dad will say is that we''re adults and it''s up to us and that he''d be fine with it.
Is anyone else in this position? How have you dealt with it?
