how can i tell my dad about this?

hi there, me [17F] and my boyfriend [17M] have been dating for 8 months, about a week ago we had a messy argument. we have now resolved it and made up and are back together as it was all just something that got blown out of proportion. my dad found out about this argument at this time and then made me block my boyfriends number and forbidded me from seeing or speaking to my boyfriend again. we met up in person and resolved it and are back together now but no clue how to tell my dad. don't know what to do as I obviously respect my dad but it's a relationship I'm in and not him. my boyfriends parents are supportive and are happy we made the resolution but my dad obviously has said this and don't know where to go with it.

I've had many issues with my dad in the past controlling in this relationship and I don't see why as the relationship is healthy. my dad gives me a lot of independence but is very firm on this relationship being over. any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks

i think urr dad is still seeeing u as his kid. u need to speack with him calmly in coffee shop maybe, about why he think its better to block ur bf instead of walking through the issue . dont get heated dont get angry and agru back if he said something mean just remind him that u having a conversation like adults and u want to learn. and its weird to say but notice what happenes if ur parents argue about something because if hes the type of person who just avoids it like leaving the room, it might be thats his way of co oping and he thinks its the best for u so he dosent make u block him out of control but out of protecting u because thats how he protects himself.
