Would you comproimise your freedom if her father is the autoritarian one?

You're with a woman you really get along with on almost every front.
Yet there's something you need to decide how to deal with: her father.
He's the classic authoritarian father, who wants to put his children on a path (be it academics, to give them a specific career, or life, with marriage, or something else).
This makes him a bit of a hindrance to her decisions in her life.

What do you do?
Do you give up some of your freedom and decision-making if it can bring you some other benefits (networking, status, money, access to things), or do you simply go your own way, and actually tell her "Look, we live my way, not your father way" even if this will actually compromise her too?
So do you side with him and take the advantages or do you go your own way?


What are your experiences?

Depends on whether I respect her father or not. Would you act the same as he does if it involved your daughter? Would you want your daughter to date a man like you?

All relationships are a compromise of some sort. If you think you are going to get your own way every time in every situation, just don't bother having them.

True relationships will fail without compromise

Hi tesla,
Unless you have some bizarre interest in her Old Man,he's not a problem....She probably finds you a breath of fresh air.

Interesting POV's, but what would you guys be ready to compromise for a LTR, in that sense?
I always had to compromise that "freedom" feeling you have when being alone, which doesn't mean that I could go and have s3x with any woman I want, but was actually a mental freedom. A light weight mind, you know?
