(I gave in and called my dad last night. He was actually pleasant and actually offered to loan me some money until my bank gave me my money...)

So he called tonight asking if his transfer went through, and then he asked me for Mr. Nick's phone number in case he thought something was wrong, like he didn't hear from me after I get back from Europe. 

And then his annoying questions started. He is still so old school. (I still don't understand why he is itching for me to get married and have a family when he told me he wasn't ready for marriage when he married my mom, and as I was growing up, I wasn't allowed to date even when I got to university. Never mind I got around that rule early on :-p And my dad has never stressed enough that men only want sex. Great advice, right?)

He asked me if Mr. Nick owned his own home (yes, it is a bad thing to own your own home -- especially if you're a guy), and then he advised me on what to do should we move in together, i.e., him moving into my place. "Make sure he pays you half of your home before having his name added." First off, when the time comes, Mr. Nick and I are buying a new place together. And I'd want to a pre-cohabitation agreement signed, too. Besides, why would I want his name added to my property??

And then he asked about our trip. He was fully expecting Mr. Nick to pay for my trip, like all of it. I find that shocking. We're going on a trip together -- why wouldn't we share the expenses? Am I abnormal to think this way? My dad says he always pays for everything when he takes someone on a trip.

And he snorted that Mr. Nick was getting "free sex." I just ignored that comment even though it made me really mad.

I guess that just means my dad is paying for it.
