Question - (21 February 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 21 February 2010)
A male United Kingdom age 30-35, *avo writes:

Help! im 17 and have girlfriend who i think is the best. and we've been going out for 5 months now. It's all going pretty well but 1 things holding me back with her. Her father!

I had heard horrible things about him before i started going out with her but i thought nothing of it at the time, 1 example of his behaviour is he lived next to a old woman and he tormented her for weeks to point she was too scared to call the police.

Her father doesnt seem have many friends or wants to have friends.

I've only been round her house once as when i did we were forced to sit in a room with him in silence just watching tv. Not being aloud to leave the room.

When me and my girlfriend go somewhere she always tells her mum but never tells her father. Nor does he tell him that i drive her about which her mum finds it ok.(Important to note they are supposedly happily married for 25years nw)

Now today it all went wrong as me and my girlfriend were gunna go out for the evening until her father came home before i went to pick her up and asked where she was going and she told im everything. Unfortunatly he banned her from going. He then went to her mum and she told him that she thought it was ok. He then went angry and said things like "i can't trust anyone round here, if i find out your boyfriend has been driving you about, its not going to end well for you". (note. i have been driving her about as her mum allowed it.)

I have no idea what to do. Do i stick with the relationship and work my way around this problem even though i feel like im tearing this family apart jst being there. Or do i get out of the relationship??????????

Well, he wouldn't act like this for no reason-I feel like there's more to the story than what you're offering us here. He is obviously extremely protective of his daughter which is understandable. Prove to him that you can be trusted (if you really are serious about this girl of course). If your girlfriend is underage, he technically can still command her...remember that.
