My boyfriend's dad is a really cool guy. He was a huge Beatle's fan,He moved to the US from England when he was 18, worked hard and made a name for himself.
In general he's a great guy. He's a funny, sweet little british man who's content with rading the newspaper, drinking his tea, and reading the newspaper with a dog curled at his feet in front of the TV. He's sweet and funny and very intelligent.
Sad thing is though, as he's aged he's become quite conservative. He's been a sheriff for some time now, and its has noticably changed him; given him kind of a sad arrogance and cockiness.
Before I met him, I strongly disliked cops or anything of the sort. But I think of this guy like my father-in-law!
I ask, how best should I deal with him? I don't agree with his views, he seems to get uncomfortable whenever I talk about The Beatles (he was once a huge fan), peace, the hippy movement (Which he was at one time very much apart of), etc. I can hardly relate to him sometimes; yet literally when he takes off the uniform, he's back to his old self.
Opinions?
