We are really serious about each other, but as he has all this mess and his parents are very interfering in his life, I am scared to commit him to marriage. My daughter won't accept my partner: can a man really accept another mans child?
We ended up getting serious and I met the kids as dad girlfriend rather than a random friend of the aunty. Do you want IVF or adoption being a young and presumably healthy woman?I also have a partner with three kids from a previous relationship. Sounds like an absolute mess and not one to get involved in.
You live with me, not them.I can relate to what your feeling, and I can tell you it does get easier.
Sent from my D5803 using Netmums mobile appHi everyone, I hope you find an answer that works.Hi, unless you feel that this man is truly the one for you I would advise walking away. He is very hurt and I am hurt that my children are being this way. He still sees them every other weekend which I would NEVER try too stop as they deserve a relationship with their dad. xxI know I sound probably horrible but I'm going to be straight. Vasectomy reversals aren't always successful so you could easily still find yourself childless. He asked them first and they said they wanted to meet me etc so we took things slowly and everything went really well. Also, if he has a reversal you and it was successful (i.e. We are a team and we face everything together, the man is not only my husband, he is my best friend, my rock and my soul mate. It's not only emotional baggage also practical (less money, holidays complications and so on). I absolutely detest my step children, and I also resent the way they are with there Dad so I so sympathize with you at a level, I have been made to feel like "the outsider" millions of times at it is hard, at least you like his children which is a big positive step. Thank you for your replies. And, of course, it becomes harder the older the children are. wishing that he'd had that bond with me & our kids not his ex. We live together and I'm not asking my partner to love my daughter, I'm just asking for some respect and understanding. Struggling to accept my partners son - childless step mum - please help. The look on her face when she said this seemed as if she was really happy about it. All I'm trying to say (albeit very long winded) is that we both nearly walked away from each other and I can hand on heart say that that would have been the biggest mistake of my life! I have a 10 year old daughter from a previous relationship and I told my fiancé from the very start that she was in my life. I am trying to be strong to come to a final decision to move on in my life without him. Eliminating some of those stresses, including lowering any expectations that your new partner will automatically love your child, can better those statistics. I have been going out with my fiancé for the last two and a half years. XI was in a similar situation. When he told me he'd had a vasectomy I felt like someone had ripped my heart out. I want a family of my own and don’t want my future generation to have a bad effect of his sons anger or his daughters misbehaving nature. I believe ivf (a very difficult option and not always successful) is a possibility should the reversal fail but you are very unlikely to get nhs funding as he already has children. live sperm) then you would be advised to ttc straight away or risk a decline in fertility for him over time or store sperm in case ivf needed in the furture. Your bond with your child produces a tolerance others simply will not have.This special bond that you and your child has also means that your child knows you will love them no matter what, so that even if you’re angry or upset with them, they have a baseline of knowing that you love them.
It is important to not add the extra pressure of forcing your new partner to love your child. We were the ones who saw how precious they were as infants, and who they needed and depended upon growing up.
SorryThank you so much. HIs kids have accepted me and are nice to me.
Sent from my SM-G920F using Netmums mobile appIf I'm honest, I'd be reconsidering the relationship. Without wishing to be patronising, you are very young and have time on your hands to establish a relationship with someone with whom you can have children. This will offer your very best chance to keep the love flowing in your relationship and may help to create a more loving and caring bond between your new partner and your child. We got married on the 21st November 2015 and our little boy was born 30th November 2016. Vasectomy reversals certainly are not always successful (My husband has had 2 and I have done a LOT of research into them) and are more successful if done soon after the original vasectomy.
