[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can also be good to plan dinners far in advance and let the daughter know so she has time to turn it over in her head.[/quote]

Op here. That is the one request the daughter has made and I have never ever come to dinner without her having ample warning. We 100% respect that boundary but she still will run away or not join.[/quote]

She wants the warning so that she can avoid the dinner.  Duh.  [/quote]

Op here-yes, obviously.  But what do you suggest we do? How does one move forward so she accepts this? By me staying away ??[/quote]

Maybe! We don't always get what we want in life.  Not all families are blendable.  Not all marriages are save-able.  There is no right to date whoever you want and make other people like it.  Your boyfriend needs to decide what he wants to do and if he's willing to jeopardize his relationship with his daughter over it.  It may not feel fair to you, but tjis is what it is.

This kind of thing is why so many second marriages fail.  Teens are hard and there are not a lot of good options.[/quote]
