Me and my boyfriend have been dating for almost 7 months and it has been very rough. My dad and him used to be very good friends and now they are not and my dad doesnt like him. My boyfriends ex and my dad talk and it just causes a bunch of problems not only with me and my dad but my boyfriend too...any advice? i try to just ignore the stuff being started and said but it puts alot of stress on our relationship. It makes us both afraid because of all of the stuff being said. any advice?
The relationship between you and your father is more valuable that the relationship between you & boyfriend (unless you are at the age to be engaged & this man is your husband). I would first talk with dad one on one, to determine his concerns. (trust your father's instincts, I wish I trusted my father's). Once received, dig into yourself, deeply and start digesting the things your father feels and/or has identified. (think deeply) If these are matters that are of concerned legitimately beyond an opinion (opinions are like a holes, and everyone has one)- then speak with your boyfriend. (as you must mediate maturely). If the concerns of your father makes sense, then perhaps back away a little to find yourself a lil more to see if you want to continue endeavors with your boyfriend.
Now the EX- If your father is pushing your ex on you and you aren't feeling it, then advise your dad that this individual is deceased within you emotionally and you'd appreciate it if he would allow that past relationship to rest peacefully. You have NO CONTROL over his relationship with old due, or the ex- however you do have control of your involvement with it (even indirectly my dear) Good Luck, Peace and Blessings, Unto you...
