Hime,

There is probably nowhere where protectiveness is more prevalent than in a father’s relationship with his daughter. He may have feelings related to you growing up and getting with a man and *Gasp* having sex. The idea of you wearing it might also bring up some feelings and he may even have an idea of what it might mean and may not like it. His little girl growing up bla bla bla bla.

The argument he used may be a little more innocent than you took it to be. It could have been what he really thought or it could be a cover, an attempt at rationalizing or a off the cuff way of verbalizing the feelings that might have been brought up. It’s not uncommon for this to happen. I wouldn't really take too much offense at him taking it off. It was a bold move that probably had an equally strong mental driving force behind it. Although it was wrong, anyone here will tell you that because we don't know and may never know the true reason for it.

I have a fair amount of experience with me and family bumping head over some issues. Sometimes, after an attempt at reasoning I simply give in, smile, go along with it and enjoy the good relations I have with my family.
