Yes. My dad, husband and brother-in-lae do a lot of things together. It could be because my dad had two girls and now he has the boys by marriage. Plus, they all have a lot in common. I guess you could say that my sister and I married someone with our father's traits.

My Dad was the most important person in my life. He was my best friend. The older I got, the more I realize he knew what he was talking about when I was dating. So you dating girls, listen up when your dad tells you something. Chances are real good that he is right. Especially about guys, after all who knows better about guys than another guy. I can think of a few times I wish I would have listened to him. Could have saved myself a whole lot of grief. I got my big heart and my love of animals from my Dad, and for that I will always be grateful. I lost him eleven years ago this last January, and not a day goes by that I don't think about him and miss him terribly. There were times when we couldn't be close because of some ***** that he married, and she was very jealous. Any of you girls who don't have a relationship with your dad, maybe it's time to give it another try. I know there are lot of bad dads out there, but if ya'll are just not seeing each other because of some silly little fight that happened years ago, reach out to him. You both will be glad. I would give anything to have just one more day with my Dad.

It doesn't matter what we all say, because as some of the previous posters have pointed out, many of us don't have our dad in our lives now... if you are close with your dad now, he should still be a very important part of your life, but you are now an adult so as far as influential - he is there for advice and support, but not to tell you what you can and can't do (but possibly what you should and shouldn't). You and your husband make decisions about your lives now.

I'm not married but I'm guessing I will be in the next 3 years or so. And yes my Dad is of huge importance to my life, yes I'm Daddy's little girl, and he's shown been such a good role model and shown me what I should expect a man to act like, but he's also my business partner, I work with him every day, so I could not exist without my Dad.

Actually I'm engaged...and he isn't important in my life. When I was 16, my father left my 2 sisters, my mom, and I for a life of alcohol and other things...I turned 20 in May and he tried to come back in my life and I gave him a proposition; If he stops drinking then I'll give him a chance. But now he stopped talking to me because I'm marring outside my race; but I could careless...
If he wasn't the was he is...he probably would be important and influential; since he isn't I look to my father in law.

Up until recently I would have said NO WAY NOT EVER!!! but things have changed since my step mom served him with divorce papers. He has changed alot and has asked for my forgiveness for all the things he did when I was a kid. He has apologized I don't know how many times and is truley very sorry; so in answer to your question Yes he is now and I try to talk to him at least 2-3 times a week (we live 6 hours from each other).

Yes, we are closer now than when I was growing up. He worked 80hrs a week and the only time we talked was when I was in trouble. Now I can call him and say hey dad what up. I think now that Im an adult it understand him more and he is no longer try to support a family he as less stress as well. I can still count on him when I break something in my house, my husband is so not machanically inclined.

YES!!! In fact, our relationship has actually gotten stronger since I've gotten married and had a baby - very weird, but I never really heard my dad say that he loved me until the day I got married. I always knew that he did, but now he says it to me whenever we talk. He has always been one of my biggest influences in what I do, but we have gotten so much closer since I've been married.

I'm still just as close (if not closer) to my dad than ever. But you seem to have some kind of a daddy complex based on all of your questions. I suggest you get therapy to help you with this.

I talk to my Dad at least twice a week on the phone and see him at least once a week. He's much cooler now I don't have to listen to him :) We get along better than ever. And my hubby likes him too so it works out fine.
