My dad sat me down one time asking if I had a boyfriend or if I am in a relationship. Mind you, I am 22 years old, I just graduated. Him asking was not the issue, but the fact that he said he wanted to prepare my mind that all men cheat, so that in case my future spouse does the same, I shouldn’t take it to heart that he cheats too, and he even mentioned some of my uncle’s names that do. I really feel disgusted by what he said, and I haven’t been able to look at him the way I did before. My dad and my mom are no longer together; they got separated when I was twelve, and I have three siblings, not the first child. They both remarried, so I have step-siblings too, so I guess that’s why they separated. Him saying that to me further damaged my perspective about men. Though there are other things he has said too that I think are not necessary or normal. Example: there was a time he asked me to help him boil water; while doing that, I was sent on another errand, so I forgot, and he was like if my future husband should hit me for my forgetfulness, he won’t support me, that I am wasting gas. I just don’t know how to feel after what he said.
