It's also fair for me to think your effort and attitude sucks, and side with the dad.
Your last sentence here sums it up with the relationship not being his. I don't think any relationship can work, if you don't try to make it work with the greater family/friends. The relationship is yours and your GF's, but you don't live in a bubble and it's only gonna hurt your relationship to act like you do.
Where is the effort from the girls parents here?
Why is it that rubecube has to make all the concessions and kiss up to his girlfriends father? If they are going to get along in the long run, rubecube and the ol' man will both have to take one step towards eachother to find acceptance.
