[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You should not have argued in front of his daughter. You’re both adults and should know better. You stop talking about it immediately and discuss later when you’re alone.[/b]

He sounds absolutely terrible for making violent jokes. Cussing I don’t mind, but I don’t tolerate any sort of violence from men, even joking.

Sounds like the daughter is the most mature one here. [/quote]

this part.  Who behaves like this? Especially when you're all getting together for the first time. You and he need to do better. Even if you break up, you need to do better.[/quote]

NP and this was my first thought, too. You’re just meeting the daughter for the first time and you and your BF can’t refrain from arguing in front of her? That doesn’t seem appropriate, and I know it would’ve made me uncomfortable and protective of my mom back when I was a kid and she was dating. It doesn’t sound like your relationship has a healthy dynamic - to scapegoat a 12 year old girl and just totally dismiss her discomfort with the situation (”overprotective”)? C’mon.

This doesn’t sound like a good relationship, and that has nothing to do with his daughter.[/quote]

We don’t even know what the argument was about.
She could have said I’m getting the chicken for dinner and he said no get the steak.
A child seeing that kind of “argument” is whatever.

Some of you must really love your glass houses.

I also take it that OP and the dad have probably argued in the past.
If the relationship is argumentative, it’s on the father to protect his daughter not use her as a reason to stick it to his gf for arguing with him.[/quote]
