Hi!
OK, here's the deal. I am an international student studying here in the US. In the past coupple of years I have been on and off with this guy, but recently we have started to be pretty committed. I am really close to my family and so every time I called home I would speak about him, how we weren't really together, how he wasn't sure about the relationship, etc, and so apparently my dad hates my boyfriend because of all the headaches he has caused me (I was sure I wanted to be serious with him, but he just wasn't). The problem is that my dad is really hard to change his opinion about someone once he has created it. He is coming to the states in a couple of weeks (busisness related)and I really wanted him to meet my boyfriend, but now I am scared that it wont be such a great idea, as my dad can be really rude and cruel. I wouldn't have a problem if it was unexpensive and easy to travel home (that way my boyfriend could meet my family anyother time)but this would be a great occasion for him to meet my dad. I am very frustrated as what to do as I cannot even talk with my dad on the phone about him (he pretends he hasn't heard me and changes the subject). What should I do?? My boyfriend has already invited me for thanksgiving to meet his family and I would love if he could meet mine as well pretty soon.
I need help!!!!

I think your Dad is just playing his role. I suggest you keep things to yourself and tell someone else only when you need real help or some advice.
take things cool at the moment and just live each day as it comes.Remember this too will pass
