It seems for a lot of ladies here it was important that your FI/DH asked your parents before hand. So I was curious as to why?
For me, I had always told FI I did not like that BS because I was an adult woman and I was not a possession/object to be asked for. So he didn't ask. When we went to tell my mom she was ticked off that he didnt ask her for permission and I explained to her that I had asked him not to do that since I felt strongly about it.
So am I alone in this?
Re: SO: Did he ask your parents?
"Sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here."
Feels weird to type that out.
I'm the fuck out.
He didn't ask.
We both come from very open families and we had talked openly about our intentions to get married one day so it wasn't really a suprise. He also included both our families in the engagement so I guess he had to tell them.
Either way, I'm sure if you talk to your mom about your feelings she would understand. As long as you're happy, I think she will be happy.
I would have had a fit if my FI had even considered treating me like a child or a possession of my parents.
One of my sisters' boyfriend did ask my Dad. My Dad apparently told him - Under no circumstances would he give his approval to anyone who knew so little about his daughter K and cared so little that he did not accord her the respect and dignity of treating her like a grown woman. Then Dad got up and left the building. Love my Dad!
