cg27 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I need some advice. My girlfriend and I broke up! We discussed about what happened, and agreed what a lot of the problems were, she told me she is putting the ball in my court on getting back together. One thing she wants me to do is call and talk to her dad. She is 29, and still lives at home. I am 30, and have been on my own for 10 years. I have a hard time wanting to talk to her dad about our relationship, with us both being adults.
sunrae Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 CG, I'm confused. i read your orginal post as to why you broke up, over poor communication right? Why does she want you to talk to her father?
Chi NZ Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I have been in this situation before, it's a good thing to do mate. One her father probably needs to hear this from you and two, it shows you have the humbleness to actually face him rather than run from the situation. In my opinion a really good thing to do.
Zeegagge Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Hear what he has to say. They've no doubt been talking and Im sure you could get some valuable insight on what might make her happy. He probably knows his daughter pretty well.
Author cg27 Posted January 26, 2010 Author Posted January 26, 2010 She did not give me a reason. I do know that she wants her dads approval, and I have always been friendly with him, and liked each other. I am not against doing it. I think that two 30 year old adults that have dated for almost 2 years should be able to work issues out without her parents. He did call me 2 days after we broke up, and was not friendly at all. and told me not to talk to him again. I do think it should be her decision on if we get back together, not her dads decision if we should move forward.
sunrae Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I think that two 30 year old adults that have dated for almost 2 years should be able to work issues out without her parents. I agree.. I think you two should try to work it out between the two of you. If you can work it out and the relationship rekindles it's self, then I would think about talking to her father. But until you figure out if you both want to work this thing out, I see no reason to talk to her father. Especially if he has already mentioned not to talk to him anymore.
