Today, sitting downstairs on my sofa he's said although I'm a "nice boy" (note I'm a 31 year old man) and acknowledged that I'm kind and look after his daughter very well I'd be no match for him in the physical department.
Well in the scheme of things it could be worse. Any father is hugely protective to kids, and especially daughters... you have his tacit approval and he is trying to prove that he is the alpha male of the pack.

He sounds ill educated, low emotional intelligence and a nob who is unlikely to be able to engage in a constructive discussion about why he is so unhappy.

I'd find some reasons to be out for the next few nights - charity work, working late to buy her something nice, etc. Bring her flowers home, buy him a little something to take home. Take him out for dinner on the last night and present him with a gift. Lie to the restaurant that it is his birthday and he is an important Polish man (and have your wife translate)

Fight evil with kindness. Might have a surprising result. Nothing lost if it doesn't.

Then put him on the plane home and hope that is the last you see of him for a few years.

Your on the downhill slope now so just get it over and done with.

Do not tell your wife but just to make yourself feel better, clean your man with his toothbrush on a daily basis, wipe your a$$ on his pillowcase, Optrex in coffee on way out. Manhandle his food at any oppertunity, pass his drink with your fingers (unwashed straight from the can)submerged in it whilst smiling at him, flem in his dinner and sit back and smile. Even a squirt of p*ss in his shampoo would go down a treat.

My favourite with a very old boss who was a complete a**hole was to offer to get the drinks in and go off to the kitchen to literally gargle with his before I served it up. 20 years later I dont ever regret that and makes me smile when I think about it.

This is of course all very petty but it will make you feel better, especially if you cant stick him in a headlock and open the front door with his cranium.

You could always offer to chuck his clothes in the wash before he heads back and then tumble dry everyting for 3 hours just to ruin his life and send him back in kids sized clothes.

What's the bloke's background? It seems to me you are dealing with some sort of under-educated Polish yokel, rather than some middle class guy with a bit of education and manners.

Ask yourself how you'd deal with him if your FIL was say some fat Essex EDL bloke, a racist Americam redneck, or some hideous white racist South African.

A is a and if I had one in my house I'd let him know. You don't need to speak the same language for him to get the message.

Are you sure he doesn't actually speak English? I met a (Very nice and kind) German chap at a family wedding in Germany who spoke no English. Then one day, when I was out with him and his family for a beer he revealed in pretty good English that he understood what we'd been talking about. He just didn't feel confident speaking English.

He may understand more than you think and with the spread of US culture, films, music etc, he's more than likely going to get the message if you call him a cock sucking mother fker or whatever.

If you honestly think any of that st is okay, then you're one messed up individual. Pathetic.

OP, thinking more about this, I'd be equally pissed off with your Mrs for st stirring. He hasn't said any of this to your face has he? He's playing big man ib front of his daughter, and she really didn't need to tell you any of it.

Throw him out of your house, tell your mrs to put him up in a hotel.

The guy just said you're not a man, whilst you're putting him up in YOUR house.

Jeez frown
Exactly. If you put up with it, it's kind of proving his point. If he's so tough a couple of nights on the streets won't do him any harm.

An Englishmen's home, and all that.
Yup, kick him out.

Offer to carry his bags into the terminal when he leaves, ask your OH to wait in the car.

Just before leaving him, flash him a photo of you reaming the wife.

Would probably cause an argument, but would amuse me!

Don't worry about it, just look forward to dropping him back at the airport. Remember to take him to the wrong airport.

That could be rather self defeating when he ends up back on OP's doorstep having missed his flight.

He is 65 FFS you can't hit him.

It's a few more days, remain busy at work and/or other social engagements until he leaves. Then he never comes back and you will only have to see him again at his funeral.

Only if you unscrew the lid.

Keep 'em coming.

Some of your posts are quite funny and as much as I'd like to reenact certain scenes of Pulp Fiction I can't. The simple reason is that if I were to get physical it'll end in tears with him taking a huge guilt trip on my partner and taking his "big man" bully boy aggression out on his poor wife back home.

I would love nothing more than to slam that fker in the nose but he never dares say anything to my face so it's all school playground stuff atm. It's all bravado but if I let it go on he will move things up to trying to intimidate in a physical sense like he does with his family - if it reached that point he'd be shown the door and das boot for certain.

It just baffles me why some people are just utter nobbers - even in my own home. And yep, he's an ill educated chap who thinks wearing beige trousers, beige jacket and a baseball cap is a good look. When I see him I think he's from the Joseph Fritzel league of bell ends.

I'm staying quiet for now - just 3 more days!!!

I'd kick your missus out for translating accurately. She could have lied.

A few more days and you don't have to tolerate the horrid tt ever again.
Just ignore him which can be great fun in itself.

How can he ever say something to your face if he doesn't speak English & you don't speak Polish?

Either way, things would have gone a lot more smoothly and the OP wouldn't be getting stressed if his missus was a bit more economical with the translation. Does she tell the father what the OP thinks of him?
