My dad and my boyfriend don't get along
My dad hates my boyfriend with a passion. You can see it in his eyes every time my boyfriend comes over to pick me up. It's weird because my dad does this thing where he drills him on stuff. Like he'll ask him for his full name, his parents names, his phone number, his address, etc. etc. It's sooo annoying and stupid. How can I make this stop? My bf is irritated by it and hates coming over to pick me up. It's making things weird. I was going to see if I could spend Thanksgiving with my bfs family but my dad would totally freak out how can I get him to just chill and calm down about my boyfriend and know that my boyfriend is a GOOD guy?

I would find things in common between your dad and your boyfriend. Maybe they can do something they have in common and talk and get to know each other and your dad will lighten up. My husband and my father dont get along they talk finally after we have been married for over a year. You dad is protective and doesnt want your boyfriend to push you into stuff. etc. Sit your dad down and talk to him tell him you really like "his name" and you would like ifyou would stop drilling him tell him hello how are you but please stop being so mean

Sit your dad down and talk with him. Communication is key to any good relationship, parents included! Tell your dad that you understand he is protective and wants what is best for you, but that he is going overboard! Tell him that you would love for him to sit down and actually TRY to get to know your boyfriend and maybe he would actually like him. I am assuming the reason why your dad repeatedly asks your boyfriend for this personal information is to catch him in a lie. He wants to see if his story changes from the last time he asked him. Which is ridiculous! But he is still your father and wants to make sure his little girl is safe. So if you sit down and address his possible issues with your boyfriend and then explain how it is bothering you and tell him why you love your boyfriend so much, maybe your dad will lighten up a bit. I think after your dad sits and has a NORMAL conversation with your boyfriend, then just maybe he will see that this guy is not so bad and then you can go on to asking your dad about Thanksgiving. AFTER you talk about the whole boyfriend issues first. One thing at a time :)
