A age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend made a comment to his father over the phone and I'm not sure if I have the right to be upset about it or not.

He doesn't see his dad much and was chatting to him on the phone earlier today. During the conversation my boyfriend happened to mention how long me and him had been together (1 year this march) to which his father replied "you're not going to do something stupid and get engaged to her are you?".

My boyfriend swiftly responded "fat chance". He then told me about it a few hours after it happened.

We're in a serious relationship, have spoken about spending the rest of lives together and have even chosen the names for our future children. Is it right for me to be really upset about this comment?

Dawnie agony auntI wouldn't worry about the comment, maybe your b/f doesn't want to tell his dad how he really feels. Like you say your relationship is serious and you have discussed your future together.

Laura1318 agony auntTake it as a joke. Your b/f told you , it means it does not bother him about his dad's stand.

Maybe , it is good in a way because it made him ponder about this issue.

Sometimes , they may say something without thinking and don't mean it.

Don't have to get upset. It could just be a slip of the tongue.

Yes sweetie. You have EVERY right to be upset over what he said. If you're in a serious relationship and have spoken about the future, then he shouldn't be saying things like that.

gottascrewlose86 agony auntHey girl,

Don't worry yeat. Your boyfriend was probably just trying to avoid being burned by his father, he did not want to start a fight. If he still treats you well and cares about you there is no need to worry unless he starts treating you bad. He may think it is too early to tell his dad the truth.

Good Luck and feel better.
