160 Answers I was to get married to this Sat we was sort of eloping but our friends knew and was going to be there ,Got the license ,outfits and rings .Ready to roll then my big mouth said we should tell our kids mine are young 8 and 11 but his daughter is 18 . My children will be leaving everything they know home,family, friends,school and when I ask them what they thought they said if I was happy they would be happy .
Well the daughter said NO she didn't want us to move in and if we did it wouldn't be like home to her anymore .She is leaving for collage in a few months and will only be here on the weekends if that. I understand she is a Daddy's girls and has had him all to herself for 5 years but she should know he would never marry someone that would stop a relationship between them I would NEVRE do that . As for the house I would like to make it our home . I love him and I want to marry him but he called the wedding off for now to give his daughter time to adjust to it all. I understand that but the reason we was going to move now is so my children could get settled in to the community and not have to change school in the middle of the year or whatever . I don't know what to do . He wants me to get to know her better and all that but I email her and tried to call. We live 1 and half away so its not like I an pop in and say hello lets hit the mall .I invited her to meet me and the boys half way at the pool to spend the day together she doesn't work so it's poss able I just feel helpless and I feel like an 18 year old is calling the shoots of our life .How do I help them how do I make him see she is being selfish and his and our happiness is on the line ?

I guess the whole dream crushed thing really bothers me . I did tell his this past weekend boy I wish things could back to the way they was much more simple and he was much more open . I think not only daughter doesn't want this but Daddy dearest got cold feet . Lets see how he likes the cold shoulder  | Well it's no wonder he got cold feet, you two don't really know each other and his daughter didn't know her father was going to get married and bring two kids into the house.
It was rather foolish to think you two could just blend two families after knowing each other 5 months and everything would be hunky-dory. This is real life.
Don't get mad at him, you both were rushing into things, you both needed to take a step back.
What if it had been one of your kids who did not want you two to marry? | | |  | Über Member | |

I think you're doing the right thing by leaving him alone. If you do get back together...give the kids enough time to get to know each other and take it slow....Good Luck | | |  | Junior Member | |

| | | After reading all your posts, I think its obvious to you now why so many of us encouraged you to wait to get married.
It'll do you a lot of good to take a step back and see what happens. Like someone else said, if its meant to be, it will be.
Good things come to those who wait. | | |  | Über Member | |

| | | Day 2 of me pulling back so far so ok lol. He has been really busy with work and I have been busy (making myself that way) He calls in the morning when he gets home phone convo's last 10 min or so . He called last night when I was leaving kickboxing class and ask me what I was doing so for the hell of it I told him exactly what I was doing I told him my maid of honor to be wanted me to drive by 2 places that she wants to have our shower and get the # and see what place I like best. He said oh really did you decided? I said No I had never been in the one place but had been to a wedding at the other . He didn't change the subject I did.
Ask him reg stuff how did you sleep and what was for dinner that sort of thing. He said Friday he was taking his daughter to see toy story ..I said Oh really My boys would LOVE to see it too . But no invite . He said it had been 2 months since they went to the movies I was like well that will be a good to spend some time with her . I did tell him I tried to speck to her online but she signed off without a reply and he started makeing excuses about Im'ing and how it is messed up sometimes I was like no worries Not a big deal . He needs to know when I reach out to her and she refuses to talk to me . But like someone said above not to contact her anymore your right that will be the last personal contact I will be making . He ask me if I had my boys this weekend and I said I do not but never tried to make plans with me I was going to turn him down letting him know I do have a friend coming in to visit and I would be busy . He called tonight and I couldn't help myself I ask him ..Are we ok? He said well yeah I guess ,Why? I said I just feel you pulling away but hey maybe it's just me I am a girl you know lol . Tried to play it off as no big deal but as you know it is . Well so far that's about as far as I got . No I never called or text him at all since Monday | | |  | Über Member | |
