it’s driving a wedge between us. ... I’m now at my wits’ end. HELP
Published: Sep. 16, 2024, 12:00 p.m.DEAR ABBY: I’m dating a single dad with a teenage daughter who lives with him full time. His daughter’s mother lives in the same town but rarely sees her. Mom does not want me to meet her daughter and offered the solution of taking her daughter to live with her.
Six months later, Mom has yet to commit to actually having her daughter live with her. Because of this, I am no longer spending time at my boyfriend’s home, and it’s driving a wedge between us. We’ve been dating for a year and a half, and I’m now at my wits’ end. HELP! -- WAITING IN NEW JERSEY DEAR WAITING: Your boyfriend’s relationship with the mother of his child is not a healthy one. She doesn’t have custody of her daughter and she shouldn’t be dictating to whom the daughter is introduced. Ask him if he still feels the same about you that he did six months ago. If he says he does, suggest you get couples counseling because it feels like his ex has driven a wedge between you. His response should indicate the direction your relationship is headed.
