My dad and me

Alright so when I was younger me and my dad were really close and we still are but the thing is that I use to be able to tell him everything and now I cant because he doesnt live with me because my parents got divorced! My dad has found a lady he loves very much and he asked her to marry him and she said yes! But shouldnt I have a saying in if I like her and if he could marry her? Because I really dont like her! And everyday I just think of how one day we will not talk at all because it seems that we call each other less as time goes on and now I only talk to him like every other month and see him every 2 or 3 months when I use to see him every other weekend. I dont know if I should tell him how I feel or should I just like keep it from him someone please help me that will be great!

Answer #1

My advice for you is this:

You should tell your father that you want to talk to him still and that you two should talk more often if how much you talk now isn’t enough for you. This sort of thing you should always let him know. Keeping it to yourself does not help solve the problem. If you want a truely open talkative relationship with your father, you should never keep anything from him. It will only build up in the back of your head and eventually cause problems between the two of you at some point. Things will be a lot easier when you are not worrying about the problem as well.

As far as his lady friend, I think you should voice your opinion on her. I do not however feel it is needed that you approve of her. If you care about your father and he loves this lady, then you should find a way to get to know her and atleast be respectful around her presence if nothing else. If you care for your father, you would want him to be happy.

Best of luck.

Answer #2

tell him how you feel he might not like it but just keep throwing it up in his face because thats what he is doing to you right

Answer #3

If he truly loves her why wouldn’t you want him to marry her.. Don’t you want your dad happy… Plus sorry to tell you but you have no say in if he gets married. You can always tell him how you feel though

Answer #4

I’m sorry about your parents, that must suck. But you should tell him how you feel if you two we’re close before. I’m sure he’d want to know how you feel about all of it. Sure he may not change his mind about marrying that woman but I think your opinion would matter to him and if you do want to see him more too, tell him. Maybe you should call him say you need to see him so you can talk about things. Usually telling people your feelings in person it harder but it has more of an impact on them (or at least I think that). I know my dad wants me to tell him how I feel all the time, sometimes he doesn’t like it but he still appreciates it when I do. Well, good luck. Hope I helped a little bit.
