[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 111027, member: 3647"] Hi, welcome to the board. Just want to throw my .02 in on your situation. Whether you only spend a couple hours with your b/f physically or not, you spend most of your time with him in your head. Does that make sense? Just judging by your posts, you are head over heels for this guy. Your child can see that a mile away. You could be playing connect 4/chutes and ladders/the game of Life/Monopoly/what have you with your kids, but your mind is on when am I going to see my FABULOUS boyfriend again. You said that you stayed in your not-so-good relationship too long. Good or not, that is her dad. And you are mooning over how great this new guy is. She did not get a chance to mourn the loss of her father first. Whether you stayed in that relationship too long or not, you jumped in to the new one too quick, in my humble opinion. Yes, you have to right to be happy, but this either needed to be kept from her to start with, or you should have waited longer before pursuing a love interest. To her, it may seem like you are not only trying to replace her father, but her as well. I went through it with my oldest. She seethed at me for years and even resented my youngest for awhile. Nobody was there to tell me "hey, maybe you should kinda hold off...?" After reading these posts, I see that this is the general consensus, so I am not alone in my thinking. Many of us have gone through the same thing. That is the beauty of this board, to ask questions ahd hopefully learn from other's mistakes. by the way, go White Sox [/QUOTE]
