My dad is ruining our relationship
Hello,
My boyfriend and I have been together for 9 years (10 on March 2010). We have two beautiful children together. We are not married because he is not divorce "OFFICIAL". We have tried to file his divorce twice (two different County's) but to no avail. From time to time he would tell me he wants to marry me already, but it seems like empty words. We even consulted a attorney, but it was very expensive and not only that we have the proper paper works but still divorce has been denied.
Anyway, we work at my father's auto repair for years. That's how we meet in the first place. Our relationship is great, we would talk, enjoy spending time with the kids and sex is awesome. We rarely fight about things, even if we do argue it doesn't concern our relationship its my DAD. My boyfriend is a very hard worker. You won't hear any complaints from him. One time my dad went to a seminar for the weekend and the shop was super busy. He was in charge and taking care of busy. When my Dad arrived he started barking orders like their no tomorrow. I had talked to my Dad several times already. He states that I play favorite because I'm with my boyfriend.
My boyfriend says "your dad does not have any respect for me or what I do". How can you respond to that. Again, I highly stress that besides this issue our relationship is great. Please help me. I don't want to choose my boyfriend over my dad. I don't want to regret if I chose wrong.
