I haven't seen my dad for about 6 months, i live a 12 hour drive from him. well, the last time i seen him, i basically told him about a guy that i was seeing. At the time, i didn't think it was too bad. But as time progress, my relationship got serious. Now, my dad is coming for a visit next week; after my boyfriend (of 10 months-been living to together for living together for 7 months) turns 30. And i am going to be 21 in Nov.
it's no big deal...But i haven't tell my dad how old he is. My dad is alittle over-protective of me. i am the oldest daughter, but have 2 older brothers.
i just don't know.
any advice on how to break the ice?

Why make an issue of it? Tell him before he arrives that you live with somebody, he'll get the idea that you two are cozy when he sees you together and if the issue of age comes up, let your boyfriend answer. It's none of your father's concern, at any rate...unless he's paying the rent. You ceased to be subject to your daddy's approval when you moved out of the house and/or at age 21(Age of majority in the US)

Hey, it's a different world. I think people should live together before marriage. (Only if you are adults and have been in a relationship for a while.) Just tell him. You are about to be 21 which is considered a full on adult. Act like one and stand up for yourself. It's your life now, not his.

You need to start with dad I am a grown woman and you need to let me make my own mistakes.Since you know he is going to think u two living together is a mistake.Then just tell him and put in some good qualities about your bf.Good luck

well,just plan a dinner out with your dad and have a chat with him,tell him you want him to meet someone special in your life and that you hope he will respect your decision!!be confident and sure about what you talk and dont let your dad in anyway feel that you are not happy about somthing,if ever with this guy!!good luck!!
