Back in June, I got married to a wonderful woman and found out just how good marriage can be.  However, there are still some unresolved issues with her father.  Nothing too earth shattering, but he's got a bad case of "Nobody is good enough for my little girl."  I've tried to have civilized disscussions with him, but it invaribly turns toward personal attacks on me.  One time he told me that if I didn't get a better job, I should invest in a shopping cart to push my possessions around in.  Suffice to say I'm a long way from the poor house and my wife and I live very comfortably for newlyweds.  What can I do to get his head out of his ass and still get sex from the wife?

I had minor problems with my MIL. (I was not the only one). I finally decided to be as syrupy sweet to her as I could, if only as an exercise in will. It worked- drove her to distraction. Scary thing is I see elements of her in #1 Daughter's personality. Too a very minor degree, thank God.

I wouldn't. When I got married I became completely responsible for my wife. If he isn't paying my bills he can shut the fuck up. If he doesn't like it he can leave.

I'm lucky.
I met my wife's coke-addicted, alcoholic,  womanizing father on our wedding day.

He went back to Kalifornistan the next day. 2 years later, they found him dead in his appartment.

We said maybe 5 words to each other that day.

I'm so glad I get along great with my in-laws.

Your question doesn't seem to match your topic.  Do you want to piss him off or bring him around?

If I wanted to piss off my FIL, I could tell him that I had sex with his daughter on the second date, and less than a half-hour before I met him for the first time.  

But I like him, so I think I'll refrain from mentioning that little detail.

Next time he comes over, "accidentally" leave a half empty jar of "anal lube" in plain sight.

That should shut him up about his "little girl"

This is pretty common actually.  He is jealous and in one way correct:  No man is good enough for his little girl.  

Lots of good advice here already.  I recommend avoiding him as much as possible; strive for success and wealth 'cause that will make your bride and her momma happy and The Old Guy envious, and although I don't recommend a kid right away, he will change once the baby arrives.

On a cautionary note:  It is usually bad form to get too rowdy with her dad.  You might want to talk it over gently with your bride and let HER brace him on this.   He is still her dad and she is still his loyal daughter.  It will take some time for you to completely replace him as her primary male support figure.

Good luck!

So you are suggesting that he ignore and disrepect the one man that love the woman as much as him?

Stick it in her pooper, take video, show it on Thanksgiving day.

While he's perusing vids of his daughter being entered from the rear, you can slap him on the back and say, " Aww man, check that shit out! You taught her well! Thanks dad!".

Yeah, change syrupy sweet to impeccably polite. Or not, maybe. Start to simper around the place when he's there. Yeah, then he'll REALLY have something to worry about.

I like it. I like it. Google "Metrosexual." Actually, there's something else out there now beyond metrosexual. Can't remember the term, but you get my drift.

My father told me about this time my maternal gradfather was giving my dad hell.   My father calmly told him "Well you know what?  We are leaving, we are going to drive home and when we get there I'm going to FUCK YOUR DAUGHTER"  

He said that got the point across and damn near gave the old man a heartastroke.

The last words I said to my prospective FIL were "I will celebrate the day I get to piss on your grave"  and I fucking mean it.  I don't intend to have a FIL, I'll make sure he dies of natural causes before I marry his daughter (he's 73, not too long to go).

He'll gradually come to accept you and the fact that his "little girl" is no longer little, over a period of time. I suggest you hang out with him and do a lot of activities with him. After a while he'll bond to you and think of you as a son.

Avoid him, provide for your family.  Pissing him off may sound like fun in theory (and may well be fun in practice), but nothing good can come of it.  Don't burn any bridges unless you absolutely have to.

All right here is a no shitter for you.  I wasn't married to her yet, but when my wife and I first hooked up, her dad treied to have me thrown in the BRIG!!!  OK, OK, I'll let on more than that.  I was seperated from the X-wife, and hooked up with my wife now, and he was SO pissed that I was still "legally"  married he called my chain of command.  Almost worked too.  I had to stash my wife in OR, so noone knew where she was.

How about this.  Invite him out fishing or something father/son'ish and then say something along the lines 'I cant wait to do this with my own son one day, care to join us when we do?'  He just dislikes you because you took his daughter away from him, but if you make room in your lives for him I sure that you can win him over and make a friend.

Listen to the Sarge on this one.  He has it cyphered 110%.
But you don't have to pay attention to her father.  He will
come to accept you, or not.  But you still don't have to
pay attention.

It doesn't pay to piss 'em off. Your wife is probably on good terms with him, and it's not like she's avoiding him. If you make it a pissing match between you and him for her affection it will just create all sorts of unneccesary drama.

Be polite in the interests of domestic tranqulity. We all have to do unpleasant jobs once in a while.
