Oh, the "none of us really liked him" conversation, I've had those with family before too. And yes it's probably good that they didn't interject earlier, when it may have been harder to hear, but it also could have simplified things.
“He proposed to me!” he said. “He gave me a ring! What do I do with that?” Hahaha-- your dad thought that was as weird as you did. And because it was awkward (like, apparently, so many interactions with that guy) he went along with it.
What a Catch-22. Your family doesn't want to interfere, so they say nothing, but in the meantime you keep dating the guy because everyone ELSE seems to like him...
Wow, that's hilarious and awful at the same time. He gave YOUR DAD a RING????? It's almost sweet but very weird at the same time - at least, I've never heard of such a thing.
How do you walk the fine line between telling and not telling? Tell a daughter you don't like her boyfriend, especially if she's in love, and you create one set of problems. Don't say anything, and it turns out he isn't good for her, and there is another set of problems. It looks like your family had your back, and probably would have said something. You were right about your initial feelings -- not a great guy for you.
