He doesn't see his dad much and was chatting to him on the phone earlier today. During the conversation my boyfriend happened to mention how long me and him had been together (1 year this march) to which his father replied "you're not going to do something stupid and get engaged to her are you?".My boyfriend swiftly responded "fat chance". He then told me about it a few hours after it happened.We're in a serious relationship, have spoken about spending the rest of lives together and have even chosen the names for our future children. Is it right for me to be really upset about this comment?

 I wouldn't worry about the comment, maybe your b/f doesn't want to tell his dad how he really feels. Like you say your relationship is serious and you have discussed your future together.

 Take it as a joke. Your b/f told you , it means it does not bother him about his dad's stand.
Maybe , it is good in a way because it made him ponder about this issue.
Sometimes , they may say something without thinking and don't mean it.
Don't have to get upset. It could just be a slip of the tongue.

 Hey girl,
Don't worry yeat. Your boyfriend was probably just trying to avoid being burned by his father, he did not want to start a fight. If he still treats you well and cares about you there is no need to worry unless he starts treating you bad. He may think it is too early to tell his dad the truth.
Good Luck and feel better.
