My Boy friends Father is controlling and mean


1

My boy friend and I have been living together for about 6 months, and we are doing great. His Father lives in another state and he calls my boy friend almost everyday. Sometimes he asks to talk to me ,He will tell me stuff like " Make sure your cooking right, you don't want my son fat do you?" ( when his Father is over weigh).

When we went to my Boy friends sisters wedding I was not drinking alcohol because I was feeling sick, and his Father told me " you should know, I don't trust people who don't drink"!! ( his Father is an alcoholic) and sometimes I admit to not drinking because my parents where also alcoholics.
( I don't tell anyone , I just say I feel sick)

Anyway, his Father has decided to come down and stay with us around Christmas time, and when he called he told my Boy Friend " Tell Shannon, she needs to learn how to bake cookies, because I expect there to be a lot of Christmas cookies for me !" ( luckily I always make cookies)

I know that I have to respect some of these things because This is his Father, but I feel like he is trying to control me, and he is rude.

Is there anyway I can say something to my Boy friend about it? or should I just deal with it and let it go?

I think you need to find a sense of humor! I don't believe that any of the things his father has said, were meant to be orders, he was just kidding around! Making small talk! Trying to be a nice guy and include you, in his son's life!

dad's a dick with no social graces. smile, laugh politely, and ignore his rudeness. vent to a girlfriend later. and be glad they live far away.

I couldn't disagree more with the person who said " you need to get a sense of humor and it was a joke" Thats just silly....I think his Father was being rude. You don't have to do everything he says, if you don't want to bake cookies don't bake cookies. He might be looking out for his sons health though seeing on how he is over weigh himself.

Good luck with everything.

Your mind is straying. It may be true that your boyfriend's father is not fundamentally sound in social matters, and his soon too for the ruckus they are causing, but that is besides the point.

Any issue you are facing is really about you more than it is about anybody else. Why should YOU find yourself wondering about somebody else's fundamental soundness socially? Why not focus on doing what it is you know you should be doing, let the other emotional baggage nip itself in the bud. A fire cannot burn without fuel. If you stay where you should, handle only your true social obligations and act only within your real limits, that is really the only way you can help somebody straying to become proper and mature. Trying to solve them and possibly where they went wrong, creates agitation since it tempts you into controlling tendencies to alter them so that they can quickly be as you please...and what are your chances with that?

The only way to know if this is not a viable situation and if you must act is how it sets up with your business. Is your boyfriend still good for your purposes? - If yes, then learn him and accept his daily calls with his dad. As regards his father, sometimes surface peace and agreeability are overated as opposed to your fundamental soundness at staying true to your social obligations and capacity as the potential wife of his son. Children only owe their parents nurturing in old age, not their entire independence and feelings. Since you are already doing that, and the 2 of you obviously are not in the control of the father economically, how much you defer or make way is now even more clear. He may demand more attention or emotion (from his own fundamental unsoundness), but you are not compelled to give it. Turn your eyes to your true business for your many OTHER social roles (sibling, child, girlfriend, worker etc).

It is no excuse to be overwhelmed in one and so let ALL the others fall apart. That will be your own fundamental unsoundness...Good luck

O.k., so I am second-posting----Do you really think your boyfriends father, never trust anyone who doesn't drink?

Does your boyfriend joke? Does anything that his father has said, sound like something your boyfriend may say, jokingly?

marinemj:

i will also second-post, because i think everyone is right. dad is trying to be funny. he's just not.

A second post from me,

No one can say for sure if he was joking, they would have to personally know the person. To me the comments he says are rude, so I could see why you would take them as being rude. At least he lives far away and you will only have to have him over for a little while. Don't change anything about yourself for his expense, just be yourself and wait it out. He might not be so rude to you , since he will be a guest in your home.

Good Luck
