I'm a vegetarian hippie, my fiance is not

Yeah and considering you have no clue who I am or what I'm like you are very quick to judge. Ive learned from this and every day I spend questioning why I wasted my time on a magot because I'm so much better than that. I will admit that I am still in the process of growing up and learning from my mistakes just like every other person I have times of weakness, however at my young age it is understandable for me to have my share of mistakes. I'm 16 for fuck's sake and he was 24... You'd think he would have a little intelligence.

 

Why would I assume he would have intelligence. 16/24 is borderline criminal. He was using you. You need to grow up. He needs his ass beat, at least.

 

I won't get engaged to someone because we have differences in dryer sheet and music choices....
I've convinced said person to try the foods I eat (organic,etc) at least.

Relationships r weird and men at 24 haven't grown brains yet..it's scientific fact, lol.

 

That's BS! Of course men have brains at 24. It's just that none have migrated upward yet.

In many places the state will not prosecute if the jv is 16 or older as the jv is considered capable of giving informed consent.

If it was my 16 year old girl being boinked by a 24 year old man, I would probably end up in prison.

 

Well in oklahoma statitory laws are that 16 is the legal age of consent... it is much different than other states. He is very immature and there is no borderline to him being a criminal... he is a criminal he has been in and out of prison and jail for years. I do understand that i need to grow up as well but that is okay for me because i still live at home. My dad actually just found out about it this summer and he was none too happy. But after some coercing on my part he came around, only to be proved right as always in the end.
I did learn alot from this relationship that i do not need to set my standards so low in the future. Ive also realized that people with violent felony convictions dont make the best of partners. He never physically hurt me but he has done alot of emotional damage to me in the past. I'm very glad that i will no longer be seeing him. and i have done a damn good job by getting with the guy i'm dating now... he is kind, considerate, caring. He calls me everyday just to see how my day was going... he actually has a career and money. I think ive made a hell of an upgrade

 

Sounds like you've made mistakes and learned from them. Your Dad sounds like a good father. I think fathers get stuck in that place with their daughters where they could try to put their foot down when they KNOW they are right (because #1 they ARE men and #2 they have life experience that we often discredit as teens) but they run the risk of creating the Romeo and Juliette fantasy and pushing you away and into the arms of an asshole making said asshole's job much easier . The second option is watching their little girls get hurt by a dude that they see right through.

I realize there are fathers that go way to far but yours sounds very balanced Jamee.
