Today, I called my very overprotective father, and he took the time to tell me how proud he was of me for finally finding a good and respectable boyfriend. And that he was sorry he misjudged. I was calling for bail money to get my "good, respectable" boyfriend out of jail. FML

Today, my dad was driving me home and was angrily explaining how my boyfriend was a bad influence and that he was hanging out with the wrong crowd. After finally convincing him to give him another chance, we stopped at a traffic light just in time to see my boyfriend being chased by police. FML

Today, I had to bail my drunk dad out of jail after he beat the shit out of a mime artist. All he had to say on the matter was "Fucking bastard was playing mind games." and that he'd beat him up again if he could. FML

Today, I was getting ready for my first date with a boy I really like when my dad insisted on meeting him. My dad is super protective and a cop. He cleaned his gun in front of my date and made it clear he had to be careful with me. My date started to cry when we got to the car. FML

Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. FML

The nerve of some people

Today, I got a call from my boyfriend. He was at the police station for breaking into a model home to hook up with the girl he's been cheating on me with for the past four months. I was his one phone call. He was expecting me to bail him out. FML

Today, my estranged dad drunk-dialed me at 4 a.m. to apologize, and to make amends. After crying and forgiving, we hung up. Minutes later, he called back to retract everything he said after remembering how I was rude to him at a party 3 years ago. FML

Today, my fiancé called me as I was clocking out. I thought he was going to tell me that he was waiting outside. Instead, he told me that he's getting arrested and needs me to call his mom for him. FML

I'm just wondering what he did to end up in jail in the first place.

Is this the second half of the story about the pair who were caught skinny-dipping by the daughters cop father?

Well, really. Not to be rude or anything but I can see why he's so overprotective. It doesn't seem like you're capable enough of choosing the right kind of guy. YDI.

Don't tell him your bailing your boyfriend out. As for a loan and say your behind on something's.make sure you pay him back and if you have a family with your bf maybe then you can come clean to your dad in time. I'd rather not rock the boat. Over-protective parents are really hard to deal with.

Jail- not prison. They are two different jurisdictions. He could have been put in jail for something stupid, it doesn't automatically mean he's a terrible person or that OP is a terrible person for dating him. Her father isn't automatically going to be like ' I'LL NEVER TRUST YOU AGAIN.' because of that. I had to lie a lot when I lived with my parents because my parents were paranoid and over protective over everything. Sometimes it's better to let sleeping dogs lie then to wake the beast.

Nicely put! Kids think they know it all and their parents 'just don't get it'. But I always go back and find myself wishing I had taken my mom's advice. Especilly when it came to the guys I dated. No one here knows WHY her bf was arrested but if it was for anything like B&E, theft, DUI, things like that, OP should really consider rethinking this guy. Maybe dad's gut was right.
