She treats everyone like crap (cluding him). He treats her like gold. Before they started dating, me and my dad never fight but now we argue all the time. What should I do about the relationship with my dad? Reply to this Question

 You, kido. are a threat.thats right, she see's you as a threat for your dads affection and attention.no, theres no nice way of saying this but, if she is treating your dad like crap as well.. then he needs to grow a set of balls.only thing i could say is talk with him when she's not around. and no matter what stay calm and don't raise your voice. no swearing either. its kinda an up hill battle but it works in the long run.just tell him how you feel. ask him Why he lets her treat him like that.good luck

 You need to talk to him and explain how her behaviour and lack of respect for everyone - including your dad, takes an effect on you. You obviously don't like to see your dad treated that way. He's your dad, he'll hear you out. Not that I bargain on him understanding what you're saying. Ever heard the saying, 'love is blind'? Anyway, just try and reason with your dad. Suggest they go out instead of staying in for a change. That way, you can handle her NICELY in small doses. Don't just walk out of the house - make the effort to be nice. She might respond to that.
