You did the right thing. Better to leave them in an unhappy relationship then to face reality, right?

You are an idiot.

Good job, you sure showed him.

Dad of the year material I think not!

First of all, the guy is younger than you, and therefore has more energy. You shoulda seen this coming. Secondly, you're a dick for imposing yourself on him.

You'd think a war veteran would want to <I>avoid</i> fighting whenever possible. (But seriously, that wasn't a clever move on your end, now was it?)

Nothing better then watching a grown man getting beaten by a teen. On the plus side at least you know your daughter will be protected

It's not a very smart move on the teenagers part either. Who would want to date someone who beats up your family? He already demonstrated to the daughter that he has a violent tendency which is a red flag for an abusive relationship...

And this accomplished what exactly? She’s gonna have hard times in life, including getting her heart broken. Be there for her when it happens. Help her come back from it. But unless she’s in actual danger or psychological distress, stay out of her business. Definitely a YDI moment

Maybe you shouldn’t be physically threatening teenagers.
