So, theoretically someone already posted one about this, but I have slightly different concerns.
My SO and I were once engaged this past year, and that went horribly, so we called it off. One of the things that went really terribly was the fact that my SO hadn't asked my dad if he could marry me, and my dad threw an enormous fit, and ruined the day for me.
We're planning on trying it again in October, seeing as the relationship is in a better place and such, and we're much happier with one another. HOWEVER, my dad is not a fan of my SO at all. So, I'm worried that if he calls and asks permission in October that my dad is going to say no. I've thought of stuffing the idea of calling him, but my dad is a traditionalist and expects a call. It might damage my relationship with him if we don't call him. We'll still get engaged irrespective of this phone call, but I don't want to burn bridges already.
What do you think? My SO and I have been talking it over the past couple of days and can't make up our minds.
