Story behind me and him:
My mom and my boyfriends mom were friends. I knew this guy, lets call him Dave since i was 4 and he was 7. We have been friends since then, we live 4 blocks away from each other. We talk everyday.
Here is the situation:
My mom absolutely adores Dave, my dad hates him for “NO” reason. I am 16 (almost 17, nov. 3) and he is 19 (20 on december 19th). My father is now saying i have to break up with him because he is “too old”, my mom is disagreeing with him completely. My dad insist that i break up with him. He has never had a problem with him before but all of a sudden he went all crazy saying i HAVE to break up with him. I am so upset. We have been together for about 4 years. I love him, i do. I just dont know what to do, my dad wont let me see him or talk to him. My mom lets me when my dad is at work or not home. I just dont want to deal with this from my dad for another year. Please i need some advice on how to get my dad to realize i love him and i dont want to break up with him.. Any advice?
My dads only excuse is hes “too old”, but weve been together for 4 years and he hasnt brought it up until recently (3 months ago).

Well your dad probably does like him… but he worries about you. My dad did it too he will always see you has his “little girl” so he’s always going to worry about you. He may also think (not saying your its just a IF) you two are already having sex, and that you could get pregnant and since your in school it will make life harder more stressful and possiblt make the relationship more complex since your both so young, and maybe he’s worried about that . Might as well get used to it,(SORRY BUT ITS TRUE: my dad still freaks out if i dont call him atleast every other day ever since i moved 2 years ago.lol.) but as far as breaking up i would sit down, ask him why he feels he is too old for you now when, he didn’t when and since the 4 years you two have started dating, ask him what the real worry is about and really think about whats he saying dont just listen to what you wan to hear, and then compromise and work it out. But seriously talk to your dad calmy, don’t be rash or get mad because that will just make the situation worse. Hope i helped just message me if you need any other advice.

Just sit down and talk to him and say that it’s your life and you love him and he can’t change that. You could also have your mom back you up and that might change his mind.

daddy doesn’t want to lose his little girl. and guys his age just want sex so he might be trying to protect you.
