44, Just because some parents don't give a shit doesn't mean we need more psycho idiots around, it just means we need better parents. This guy is a tool, it's just unfortunate his daughter will have to suffer because of her fathers bullshit insecurities.

#87, Just wait till you ave daughters or any close female relatives & wait till the protective instinct kicks in

I wish I had a protective dad and a protective brother. They're best friends with my fiancé. So, when there's trouble, they tell me it is my fault. :(

151, I have a sister, so it already has. What I also seem to have though is the ability to rationalise. Do you not have this? Because if not, your comment would make perfect sense.

232 hes a marine so yea so marines are a little insane when they get out and a few just go more insane so who knows

The father could have been a former Marine. OP is the one who mis-titled him.

You are a good brother.

Ah. And does your sister does that to your girlfriends? I really hate the difference between guys and gals in this issue. If it's a guy, then he's responsible for his own deeds. Nobody is going to a girl with a gun saying: "I'll shoot your **** off if you're going to break the heart of my boy!" If it's a girl, she can't be responsible for her own deeds, no, her family needs to make sure that she makes the right choices. Ugh. I'm happy my parents only said 'Hello, how are you?' to my boyfriend when they first met him.

My uncle does the protective father thing for our whole family, eve the guys. My male cousin just got a girlfriend and posted it on facebook. First comment was my uncle saying how he couldn't wait to meet her (aka, interrogate her). He's equal opportunity.

Actually, thinking on it, I do that for my friends, regardless if they are dating a guy or girl. Mostly I do it for the ones dating girls, as it's less likely the father will be as protective. I kind of feel bad for my lesbian or bi female friends' dads. Normally fathers get to be comfortable and assume the boyfriend is always at fault (not saying it's right), but they get very confused as to their role when their daughter is dating another girl. Hence my stepping in.

58, BULLSHIT. Complete and utter bullshit. I've gone into relationships before thinking "we won't break up". Then you find out what the person is really like from spending time with them, and you realise "oh, maybe we don't go together as well as I thought". It's called life, you don't just go into relationships knowing how it's going to turn out, you HOPE it will turn out well. Even back then I'd have been worried because everyone knows that unexpected things can go wrong. Have you possibly been brainwashed by romantic hollywood movies? Or is it just an inability to grasp the complexities of human relationships that's spurring on this nonsense?

i agree 91 shit happens and people change
