Today, I got engaged. When I called my father, who is out of state for a few days, to tell him, his response was, "What'd you do that for?" FML

Thank you for congratulating me. I agree that my father's response was probably just from shock. He called me not long after we hung up the first time and apologized for reacting that way. I am the youngest of his children and his only daughter, he may just not be ready to let me go yet. He has only been married once, to my mother, and they have been married happily for 22 years. I appreciate the advice that was given and I plan to talk to him more about his concerns when he gets back this coming week.

I guess it depends on how old are you..anyways I'm sure you're old enough to make your own decisions. He could've been more supportive but I wish you the best

That would be my response! But it would be out of humor.

There has to be more to this story. Does the dad not like the bf? How long have you two been dating? Did the guy not ask your dad for your hand in marriage?

I can relate. I recently got engaged, called my dad, and he paused for a few seconds before saying, "well, you can always change your mind."
