iceisles Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Although it shouldn't, I seem to let my Dad's cynicism towards women and relationships hold me back from getting involved with people. I mean, I have dated and had a girlfriend - two things I never told him about because he frequently gives me speeches about how women can't be trusted, etc. He's been through three divorces, so I understand his bitterness, though I wholeheartedly disagree with his views on relationships. While he is very happy being alone, I want to be in a kind, caring relationship. I'm 25, and I have my own place, and my Dad is by no means controlling. I just feel very uncomfortable talking to him about women, particularly anyone I might be dating. I am just really concerned that this could will be a problem if I ever become serious with anyone. I know I should live my own life, and I'm doing that, but I would appreciate some guidance on how I can handle things with him. Thanks so much.
DewDrop Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Sit down and talk with him about your intentions of finding someone to be with. Explain to him that not all women are alike and that he can't base all women on his past relationships. It sounds as if he has had bad experiences with women from his past but he should support you in the decisions you make when it comes to your personal life. I wish you luck!
