[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 578137, member: 1550"] It often is very strained. It is usually not as great as it looks. You do have a third option. I talked about it. Have SO move out and date her on the side, not including your daughter in it. She obviously is not comfortable with you and her. If you won't make any compromises, the situation is unlikely to change as you both lock horns. My kids hated my husband for a long time, but they were too young to move out. Because of that, and because I told him to act like a friend, not a parent, they eventually got on. But my kids NEVER heard of us having sex...EVER...and it was a slow process. I tried to remember, I picked him, they didn't. They were just kind of stuck with him, even though he tried so hard and reached out with a loving hand. The kids wanted me to be back with my ex. I had the advantage over you because my kids could not leave. You don't have that. Also, three years may seem like a long time to you, but maybe it doesn't to your daughter. Just throwing stuff out there, not saying daughter is right or wrong. Feelings aren't right or wrong. They just are. [/QUOTE]
