So, a little backstory. Two years ago, I had unprotected sex with a guy and got an STD (chlamydia). I got treated for it right away, and I'm healthy and definitely learned my lesson about having unprotected sex. Anyway, I noticed that whenever my dad finds out that I'm going to be hanging out with a guy for an evening, he always tells me to be safe, or have fun, but be safe, something to that effect. This has started to annoy me, as I am well-aware that unprotected sex is dangerous, and I do not do it with anyone that I'm not in a long-term, committed relationship with. He also gives me unsolicited advice about dating/men in general, such as, "don't do anything you're not comfortable doing" and "don't let him get too close too soon", and "always let your dates know that your father knows where you are". So, I asked him
why he does this, and his answer was that "I've made mistakes with men before". This pissed me off -- so you feel like because I made a mistake two years ago when I was in college, that you have to keep reminding me of basic things for the rest of my life? If someone pees themselves one time when they're really drunk, do they need to be told to pee in a toilet for all eternity? Dafuq? I explained to him why this was annoying me and asked him to stop, and he got angry, saying that I was treating him like shit, that I didn't appreciate his concern for me, that I didn't understand what love is, yadda yadda.
