nyguidette Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Ya know that saying:"If you love something let it go, if it comes back it was really yours"??? Well I let him go and he came back. I LOVE this man SO much...my problem??? Well, I come from an EXTREMELY strict Catholic background..he is covered in tattoos and they would (well my dad would) NEVER give him a chance. He's a REALLY good guy and he has a good job and his sh*t straight..but how do I get my parents to give him a chance if I KNOW my dad will hate him the second he sees him??? I WANT a future with him..I really know I love him..but what do I do? Link to post Share on other sites
lc45 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Time will heal everything. Your father may be completely opposed to your relationship with him, but if he is the man you want to spend the rest of your life with, your family will grow to accept him when they see both of you happy. Your father may not ever totally get over the whole stereotypical vibe your bf may be giving to him, but what's important is that you and ur bf know you're in love and that's all that matters. So therefore in time, your father will show some understanding too, despite his religious values. If he has such strong values, he'll one day look beyond the tattoos and see the good person you see in him. Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Erased Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Just a hint. Your father will NEVER be satisfied with anyone you choose, tattoos or not, because no father wants their little girls to have sex so when confronted with their new boyfriends, thats all they think of. If this man makes you happy then you do what you have to do. It is your life not your parents. I would perhaps talk to your parents before he arrives though because if you think they will get too much of a suprise then you should perhaps prepare them. Just explain what a nice guy he is, how you care about him and if they have a problem with his appearance then that is a fault of theirs and not your problem. Good Luck!

Art_Critic Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Well I let him go and he came back ........ I think you need to tell your parents about him and go from there Link to post Share on other sites
