Lets start with a little background. My Father is a pastor, my fiance (we are getting married this Saturday) is an atheist. I am a Christian but not to the same extreme that my father is. My fiance hates my dad and the fact that he is constantly talking about religion. It's not even that my dad is constanly badgering him about not being a Christian so much as in my dad's life everything comes back to God so every story he tells, every anecdote he has involves his religion. My parents just flew in for the wedding yesterday and they have only spent a couple hours together since but my Fiance feels he needs to decompress after every meeting by telling me how much he dislikes my father. I agree that my father can be overbearing and that he insert religion into conversations where it is not invited. I have tried several times to stop him when I see this happening. The thing is I am not going to tell my dad he can't mention religion at all because it is who he is. If i were to do that I would likely sever the relationship completely for good. Unfortunately I don't know how to deal with my fiance concerning this. I try to empathize but its irritating that three days before the wedding with all the stress I already already have that every time I am alone with my fiance, or i ask him how he is doing all he wants to do is tell me how terrible my father is, that he is ridiculous etc. I love both of them and want them both to be part of my life, and although my father can be obnoxious it is well intentioned. I'v told my fiance to just sidestep the conversations if he is uncomfortable but he says he doesn't know what to do without blatantly telling my dad he thinks he's nuts. If anyone has any advice on how to enjoy the few days left before my wedding without alienating two of the most important people in my life please help!
