I've been in a relationship with this man for 6 months, we went to a function where a confrontation happened between him and my Dad, it got broken up before it got physical but it was clear that it had the potential to become physical especially from my Dad.
So, I've spoken to my partner about what happened and I've spoken to my Dad and unsurprisingly the stories are completely different.
I really like this man, he has shown himself to be nothing but everything I've been looking for and this was completely out of the blue and shocking to me that this happened.
Here's where it gets complicated for me, my Dad never wants to see this man again but he doesn't want that to affect our relationship at all. When I was speaking to my Dad about what happened he told a blatant lie about something that my partner had said to make it sound like he had said something wrong, I was sat there at this point and I know for a fact that this is a lie that he told me which has made me feel like I cannot believe everything that he has said about what happened.
He has been slagging him off and putting the blame on him completely, my gut instinct is that there was too much drink involved and they were both misunderstood about something they were discussing and that's why it turned the way it did.
I never wanted this to happen, it is extremely unfortunate that it did but it has happened and now I'm the one who is suffering the consequences of the incident.
I've never seen anything or heard anything from or about my partner to make me question my relationship, it has been a long time since I've had a partner and I've never felt as happy, content and confident about myself as I do with him.
I've had a rocky relationship with my Dad in the past, we're the best we've ever been right now but I know what he can be like from our past relationship.
So how do I make this work? I've got a headache from the situation and I can't believe that it has come to this.
