bottom line, it probably came out that you don't want to marry his daughter and this guy is old school, also alarm bells go off with any father when they hear that, because daddy wants his little girl to be taken care of.

I think in this case you have to respect his wishes in his own house, and if that means the couch that means the couch.

I also think you need to pull daddy off to the side and have a chat with him to make sure that he doesn't have a resentment wall building up against you.

funny story, when I was growing up, I got away with sleeping with girls all the time, my old man would basically be throwing rubbers at me when I walked out the door to go on dates.

When I decided to move in with a girlfriend both of my parents were upset with me about it, they felt that living with someone pre marriage was just something that shouldn't be done. I caught a lot of grief about that for a long time, they were very accepting of the girl and always treated her as one of the family, but when my dad and me went off to the side the question was always about the living arrangement and when I was going to settle down and marry her.
