"I'm sure something more interesting will happen soon enough and then they will forget all about you." I let out a sigh.

"I don't see how it's any of your concern whether it's true or not," I told him simply.

"Because he's going to be my father-in-law!” He nearly hissed, spit flying from his mouth. Don't you see how fucked up that is! I can't believe you are having a relationship with him!"
