Re: My husband had to ask my fathers permission to marry me (Split thread)
I suppose I must have come from an enlightened environment - my dad never led us to believe he would have preferred a boy instead of the two girls he had. At various times we both were tomboys anyway and my sister went to football matches with him. He was a very supportive father to us and a real friend and advisor once we were grown up. The family name died out with him (he was the only boy with four sisters) but I don't think it was of any relevance to him. He also said that we could do whatever we wanted to do for a career and always encouraged us (even though he did a bit of steering). I loved him dearly and couldn't have wanted for a better dad. He was just like his own father, both gentle, serious, brave and very intelligent men, who had no need to assert their masculinity. Girls were just the same value as boys to them and we knew it.Re: My husband had to ask my fathers permission to marry me (Split thread)
Dad sold the family home in 1984, it was a bit of a shock as none of of realised he intended to do so, not even our mother. She was visiting us in the UK, came home and found they had moved into a bungalow and mother-in-law, whom she couldn't stand, was in the annex! She wasn't a happy bunny that is for sure, but she had no say over the property. It had been in the family for centuries. We are supposed to be direct descendents of Richard the Lionheart's minstrel Blondel. Our house was built on the foundations of his former house apparently.Re: My husband had to ask my fathers permission to marry me (Split thread)
Thats not good Dancing Sky - I would have had something to say about my husband selling my home up without my consent. There would have been a right old row.Thread Tools | |
