Today, my boyfriend drove me back home. My dad was sitting on the porch in his underwear, with his shotgun in his lap. He stroked the gun, looked my boyfriend dead in the eyes, and slowly shook his head. Now my boyfriend refuses to see me for his own safety. FML

Today, my boyfriend picked me up to take me on a date. Just as we were about to drive away, my dad ran out of the house in his underwear and started yelling that he'd kill my boyfriend if I wasn't back home within the hour. 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, my dad walked into my school and joked around saying that he's going to shoot my boyfriend. We all laughed. Except my boyfriend. He was sobbing in a corner. FML

Today, my dad joked he’d have to fight my boyfriend to find out if he’s worthy. My boyfriend grew up abused by his dad and older brothers, and has a powerful instinct to fight back. My dad is now out cold on the floor and my boyfriend is in the corner rocking back and forth and crying. FML

Today, I came home early, and my boyfriend's car was in my driveway. Inside, he was talking to my parents. He walked right past me and left. My mother then says, "He wanted me to tell you it's over." FML

Today, my boyfriend's car broke down on the way to the gym, so he called his dad to give us a ride. On the way, his dad talked about how much he hates me and our relationship, as if I wasn’t sitting in the back seat directly behind them. FML

Today, my parents met my boyfriend, and to say it went badly is an understatement. My mom went outside to relax by chain smoking and the shouting, and the screaming only ended when my dad took my boyfriend by the scruff of the neck and threw him out the front door into the street. FML

Today, my boyfriend has never gotten along with my dad, but this afternoon during what I thought was a completely normal conversation, he just stood up, yelled he couldn’t take my dad anymore, punched him in the nose, dumped me, and drove away. 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 asked my boyfriend, who’s a massage therapist, if he could help my mom with her chronic migraines by massaging her head and neck. My dad came home, saw them in the dimly lit room and knocked my boyfriend out cold for "touching his woman." My boyfriend dumped me and wants my dad arrested. FML

And once again, it's in Texas. I really hate to be this judgemental, but at least 30% of these stories I hear come from Texas, it's ******* horrifying.

What part of creepy dude in underwear with a just gun is acceptable as a joke or being protective? I understand wanting to be protective but if this is how he treats every guy she brings home she's gonna hate him. Protective is one thing coming across as psycho and potentially dangerous is something else entirely.

I wonder how many fathers who are so protective would be fathers had their other half's father been so ins...cra...stu... completely rational. Personally it would only scare me off if I thought there was a chance they would use it. Unless that happened I's just ignore it as a scare tactic

I think there's more to this story. Why does her dad apparently disapprove of the boyfriend? Perhaps he did something to justify the dad's reaction?

Personally, I wouldn't want to date a wimp who refused to stand up to my father. I highly doubt OP's dad was gonna shoot her boyfriend, he was either joking or trying to intimidate him.

As much as that sucks OP, I would have paid a lot of money for someone to videotape that. I do hope your boyfriend can get on his good side but it just sounds very amusing, fyl.
