my dad's been with his girlfriend for 3 months and.... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Michael [hXc] · 06-03-2005, 05:44 PM

they just got engaged yesterday, bought their house already, and are picking their outfits for the wedding on July 3. he's only been dating her for 3 months and they're engaged. what do you think? I personally think it's way too rushed and he's just pushing it. plus her kids are living with her and my dad and they don't even like him. he hardly knows her! he's just acting weird and showing off to her but once they're married his true personality (which will piss off his girlfriend a lot) will come out.

plus, i was talking to his girlfriend's niece on my bus today and she was saying how nobody in her family really likes my dad much and they're all sick of him already. how are they going to deal with him once he marries into their family? and on top of it, he says i HAVE TO go to his wedding. he can't make me and i don't think i should have to. he says if i don't, i'll be a disgrace to his family. he was already one to my family, so why would he care?

what should i do? i really don't want to go to the wedding and my dad's asking me what i think of all this.

tell him it's ridiculous that they're already getting married, because it is.

i did tell him that, because he hardly knows what he's getting himself into. he's just trying to marry the first person who will fall for him. he said to me "its really none of your business when i get married because i love Maureen and that's all i care about". he doesn't seem to realize he makes it my business by talking to me about it

but anyway, he can't make me go to his wedding. his sister told him he should date her for at least 2 years before getting married but does he listen to anything we say? no.

that seems like good policy!

disgrace to his family. he was already one to my family, so why would he care?

Tell him how you really feel.

TheGreatPretender · 06-03-2005, 06:12 PM

He shouldn't force you to go to the wedding if you don't want to, just simply state you are not going and you do not support his marriage.

I agree. I have a friend I've known for 3 years and I still don't know enough about him to marry him, so 3 months?! Geez. I guess I just don't think love can truly mature in that short length of time, no matter how old you are.

you could go to the wedding and be a total bitch and that will piss HIM off.

Sounds like he's trying to guilt trip you.

TripperFan · 06-03-2005, 06:16 PM

I feel so bad for you Mike. Luckily I never had to deal with stuff like that. Why are they rushing - do you know? Could she be pregnant? How long has he been single and what age is he (it could have something to do with it).

*MIBabe03* · 06-03-2005, 06:31 PM

That is pretty damn fast. I wouldn't go to the wedding either. I'm sorry that you have to deal with this.

Janet McFarland · 06-03-2005, 06:41 PM

I think even though you don't want to go to this wedding, you should. If my dad was in this situation, I would go, just because it's my dad. And 3 months?! That is rushed. You should try talking to your dad again, but I doubt that would work. I'm sorry you have to go through all this

Mijada · 06-03-2005, 07:48 PM

I agree with Janet. I think you should go. It's only one day and you should be there to support your dad. I do agree that it is rushed but it is his decision to make and if it's a mistake he will soon find out. I take it that the relationship you have with your dad is not a very good one as it is and if you choose to boycott this wedding it will most likely put a perminant rift in your relationship with him. It's not right you being stuck in the middle all the time because you are still a kid and deserve to be happy. Just try and stick it out. Your dad is going to marry this woman regardless so you might as well support him and if he doesn't appreciate it at least you know you made the effort.

It's ridiculous he told you it was none of your business when he asked you about it. The only thing you can do is tell him the truth and if he doesn't like what you said it's on him, but he'll learn on his own. 3 months is not enough time to marry someone.
