So, FI and I have been together for 9 years now, and engaged for 7 months. We haven't set the date yet, but want to set it for summer 2013. (If it matters--we're both 25 years old)
My Dad took a really long time taking our relationship seriously. Only after about 4 years did he even make an attempt to meet my FI when he came into town (Dad lives in another state).
Lately my Dad and FI seem to be getting along well. My Dad sat with just my FI at my graduation last month. Dad invited FI on our family cruise last month.
My Dad just sent out a mass email to a group of co-workers, friends, maybe family members, I'm not sure who they all were (he sent it to me too).
He emailed a picture he took at my graduation of me wearing my cap and gown, and my FI.
He captioned the photo "Rachel (my youngest) and friend at her graduation"
FRIEND?
Holy crap. I would almost understand if he were just my boyfriend. When you say boyfriend to people who don't know me, to them it could just mean some guy I'm dating, and I would understand if my Dad didn't want to mention it. But he's my fiance. What's wrong with telling people, even coworkers, "Rachel and fiance"
Sorry... I'm just venting. It really irked me.
