It gave me the ick too when he first said it, but apparently it's a british tradition/cultural thing from what other tattlers said
. My parents would laugh at my bf's face if he asked their permission, I'm not a little child or their property. They would probably say no just to see what he would do 
.I agree asking permission is silly and outdated but personally I took the “traditional” element of it but just asked my partner to give my dad a heads up. It was in no way that my dad was making that decision for me which is what you’re saying. I’d talked at length with my partner about us getting married and equally my parents knew I wanted to marry him.
I'm British and married, and if my husband had asked my parents for permission I would have said no on principle. Quite a lot of my friends are married and I don't know one whose partner asked for permission first. It just seems super archaic to me.It gave me the ick too when he first said it, but apparently it's a british tradition/cultural thing from what other tattlers said
She spoke to Pete that way even the first few months into their relationship. She always did. Not so much with Oliver - she seemed to respect Oliver more or something. Awful behaviour towards anyone, let alone a partner.
I find your position very extreme. No, a man doesn't see a woman as a property if he talks to her father (or her parents before proposing). It is a nice thing to do. Of course this is only done when the parents are close, you wouldn't involve your partner's parents (or father) if they had a tit relationship because it would be none of their business.
Yes, exactly this. It's more of a cultural ritual rather than actual permission - my husband asked for my mum's blessing before he proposed to me but even if she'd said no it wouldn't have stopped us. (Though there may have been a serious talk between my mum and me!)
Already though? She’s not even had it a month! Are they that soft or has she really just not cared for it? I have a friend who has an opal engagement ring that now she just wears for special occasions but until the pandemic and constant need for hand sanitizer she wore daily and it’s still in good condition.
Yeah and she also implied she was too young to have realised her other partners not necessarily wanting/being ready for kids might have provided issues later in their future but Carrie definitely WAS thinking about kids and knowing she wanted them with each person—she was literally writing letters to her and Alex Day’s future son, who is she trying to kid!? I think it just always stung her that Oliver clearly wasn’t as enthused about starting a family as she was, whereas Joel very much is.
I kind of like the traditional element too so asked my now husband to speak to my mum when we discussed getting engaged. As it was he didn’t know he was going to propose to me when he did so phoned her after and was like “Is it okay if I ask Jolly Parsley to marry me?” she was never gonna say no because she loves him so said yes and he was like “Just as well because I’ve already asked her and she’s said yes.” so yeah also got a cute and funny memory from it as well which still makes me laugh!
She was also drunk with Scott when she texted him that, like the loneliness/horniness really jumped out
Imagine being horny for Joel though. My vulva has literally sealed shut at the thought...
Just thinking about his whines and his pouts and sweat dripping down his hairy chest is making my food come up my throat. Sorry for sharing that visual everyone
