A recent comment from Jean on the “My Boyfriend, His Kids, and His Ex…” post:
I have been dating this guy for a year. He only gets to see his kids on the weekends. His girls are 14 and 16. I keep asking to meet his girls, but he keeps saying he doesn’t know if he or the girls are ready. I keep bringing it up every month since March and we almost break up because he keeps saying he needs time to think. We struggle seeing each other because he has to be with the girls every weekend. It would be so much easier if we could do things together. He tells me that they just never talk about him dating so he never talks about it. This just drives me nuts that he will not allow me to meet them. It makes me feel that he is hiding me and that our relationship is not very meaningful to him. I think he only wants to introduce the girls to me when he is ready, but he avoids conflict and I have a gut feeling it will never happen.
My question is how long do I wait for him to introduce me to his girls.Everyone I talk to says its weird and he just doesn’t care about me. I am 43 years old and I want to get remarried. He just turned 45 and has told me that someday he does want to get married. What do I do? How long do I wait?
