Should Men Ask Their Girlfriend's Parents For Permission Before Proposing? (Page 2)

[HawkPerception]

I think it's a good practice to ask for their blessing, but if they hate you and don't want their daughter to have anything to do with you, then it's not necessary.

[bobalife]

It’s not necessary, but I think it’s very heart warming and considerate for sure. I’d like it tbh.

[HelpfulWoman]

if they want to/its a thing for the partner's history/religion etc.

[MsProsperity]

Yes it’s their daughter, maybe they might tip you on how to propose

[The_Sexpert]

Permission probably isn't the right word
It's great to let them know , but you don't need their "permission" since you're both adults

[TommyMountainFigure]

Yes, but only if they jump into Doctor Who's Tardis, and arrive in 16th Century England!

[Rangers]

That would be the proper thing to do, yes.

However, that's not possible for me, since both of my girlfriend's parents aren't around, anymore. Only her grandma remains, so I'll ask her

[CrabCakes11]

If my partner ever asked my parents for my parents permission I’d break it off

[moneymagnet24]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[dustybiker2]

I think it's classy. Shows a man is both respectful and brave. There are going to be situations that give a free pass to this. Not all parents are gold star.

[butterly248]

It's an old tradition. I don't know my dad so my boyfriend won't have to do it. I guess it's a nice idea but depends on the person

[whiskeyontherocks]

Really you’re just giving them a heads up
What if they say no? You’re going to do it anyway right.

[msc545]

Thy should instead ask themselves how they are going to feel when she cheats on them and divorces them and takes there money and property and children.

[IWILLPLEASEYOU]

I know that it's a old tradition that is the best reason to be respectful and I don't want to ever be a person to disrespect our elders, sorry I will not let you know that I am not the man I want you to have!

[Agape93]

Nope. You're marrying her, not them. She is your future, not her parents. And if her parents are assholes or they didn't treat her right, do you even want their blessing?

[12karen]

not obligated but I'm conservative and I would like my parents to give him their blessing before proposing to me

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, because its not her parents' choice to say yes, its hers.

[DrPepper12]

You wouldn't ask permission that's her job but you could ask for his blessing; guess

[DarkLegacy]

No we should not because we do not need his permission. Yet more gender equality hypocrisy

[Nikki1989]

If there are parents to ask, sure.

[dudeinohio]

I did as a measure of respect, even though we were in our 30s.

[hahahmm]

Right. Doesn't matter what age.
