I’m honestly at a loss here and I don’t know if I’m overreacting or underreacting.
I’ve been with my girlfriend for a little over two years. We have a healthy relationship, and she’s always gotten along well with my family, especially my dad. I never had any reason to think there was anything inappropriate going on.
A few days ago, my girlfriend sat me down and told me something that completely shocked me. She said that while they were talking privately, my dad somehow turned the conversation weird and ended up showing her a photo of his penis on his phone.
According to her, it happened very quickly and she froze. She didn’t know what to say or do because she was shocked and uncomfortable. She left shortly afterward and spent a couple of days trying to figure out whether she should tell me.
Eventually she did, and I could tell how uncomfortable it made her. The thing is, I trust her completely. She has never lied to me and she had absolutely nothing to gain by telling me this.
Since then I’ve been replaying everything in my head. I’m angry, disappointed, embarrassed, and honestly confused. This is my father. Someone I’ve looked up to my entire life. At the same time, if what she says is true, I can’t just ignore it.
I haven’t confronted him yet because I genuinely don’t know what to say. Part of me wants to hear his explanation, but another part of me feels like there is no explanation that would make this acceptable.
My girlfriend doesn’t want to be around him anymore, which I completely understand. Now I’m stuck wondering how to move forward with both my relationship and my family.
Has anyone dealt with something even remotely similar? What would you do in my situation?
