Well I would sit down with your dad and try and tell him calmly and fairly that if he told you what he knew it would be alot easier for you to understand why your father does not like your bf. Tell him how you feel about your bf and that it is not just a crush or whatever, this is a real relationship.
But you are in a hard situation right now. Good luck!

All you have to do is tell and show your father that your boyfriend is a nice guy and that your boyfriend will do anything for you.If he doesnt approve,then just wait for your dad to start liking your boyfriend.HOPE I HELPED!

I don't know if you can do anything to make him like this guy. When exactly did your dad start campaigning against your boyfriend? Have you told your dad that unless he is willing to spill the beans, you have no reason to believer him? It is very unfair for someone to tell you what your dad did, and not back it up with any facts. Either he is a liar or your boyfriend is...that is bad. I would make them sit down in front of me and tell them that they are both important to you, but you will not be happy until they work it out. If there is something to confess or suspicions, this is the time to get it out or forever hold your tongue! Tell your dad that if he knows something, he owes it to you to inform you of what exactly makes him hold this low opinion of your guy. Otherwise, it is really just mean and spiteful and not out of love. Put the pressure on him to fess up or shut up.

Your father is being unreasonable. He has no business making such accusations about people if he can't back them up.

It's time for your dad to put up or shut up. You need to talk seriously with him. Tell him that you and your boyfriend are discussing marriage, and that if he has reasons why you should reconsider, he owes it to you as your father to tell you what those reasons are. Otherwise, you will assume that he is simply being an angry father, and follow your own heart. If he knows something about your boyfriend that could eventually hurt you, and doesn't tell you about it, then he is partly responsible.

If he wants to have a good relationship with you as an adult, he needs to start treating you like one. In order to make this happen, it looks like you will need to assert yourself.

As a rule Dads hate the guys thier daughters date. I'm going to guess that your Dad doesn't know any dark secrets about your boyfriend. If you like him, and you don't think he's liar and cheater, then I say don't listen to dear old dad. He's probably just upset that he's losing his baby girl to another man ;)
I'm sure if your guy is as good of a guy as you say he is, your dad will come around in time.

Hi, unfortunately there's nothing you can do to make your dad like this guy! But even if there was why should you have to? The important thing is do you love this guy? do you want to marry him? Do you want to spend your life with him? - and is pretty clear that the answer to all three questions is YES! I can honestly say, without any fear of being wrong that your dad knows nothing to suggest your boyfriend is a liar or anything other than a good person who loves you very much. Your dad would just like to have something on him because then he would have a reason to dislike him. If he did know something, anything at all he would tell you - that's clear to anyone with more than half a brain cell! If your dad wants to behave in this childish, immature manor - let him get on with it! You enjoy your life with your boyfriend and let him wollow in his self pitty!
