trying get advice about it help: my dad doesnt like my boyfriend at all n im trying to stay out - Help.com

well if you really like your boyfriend and is absolutely sure that you want to stay with him and vice versa .. you should have a nice long talk with your father telling him how much he means to you and how you two trust eachother .. he might understand g’luck !

Don’t forget to listen to your father. He is your protector and hopefully takes that job seriously. Are you listening to what he is saying and his reasoning? Do you trust your father? He does have experience on his side… (sorry…I’m 37 and I’ve had experience in this myself as the one in “love”)

look at your boyfriend close- your dad might be seeing something you didn’t

I keep having people around me who say “everyone hates my boyfriend” and then a few months (or a few years) they go “oh, crap- that’s why everyone hated him”

Especially if more people than your dad is saying things- I’d look REALLY closly.

If you look, if you listen- and you still don’t see anything. Then you have a choice. Your dad or your boyfriend. (Ok- you could easily get both… but either way you’ll cause conflict with the one you turn away from… disconnection and such)

Good morning! I hope all is well with you. Maybe these little character traits will help you in your decision about whether this young man is good for you or not…

- does he treat you as if you are important?
- does he encourage you to be a strong individual?
- does he act in ways you can be proud of?
- does he work hard?
- is he mature (knows what his responsibilities are and takes them seriously)?
- can you see by his actions (not by his talk) that he is a good man?
- does he love to be proud of your accomplishments?

I hope so (don’t forget to be the same for him). And smile darling. You look sad in your picture… You are a lovely young lady.
