[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With that attitude, I can't imagine why she doesn't want to spend time with you.[/quote]

Not sure what you’re getting at. I stated facts - she moved in, she asks him to come home nonstop when he visits, she prevented him from spending Christmas with his family. At no point did I attack her or call her names.

I’ve always been nice to her. She and I would go out together sometimes, she’s comes to my kids’ parties, and we’ve always been welcoming. That’s the weird thing, it’s not like there was tension or awkwardness. She’s always been welcome and we’ve had fun together. But the last couple years they’ve both changed. [/quote]

Again, what are the ages? [/quote]

Sounds like a decent age gap, right? OP is old enough to have kids who would notice Xmas, and the girlfriend has kids still in school.

OP - I think you sound very reasonable and I have no idea what the PP is projecting here. With that said, men just kind of suck at multi-tasking in general. Your dad is trying to do at least 4 things, presumably: 1) Be a decent partner; 2) Be a stepdad; 3) Be a dad to his grown kids; 4) Be a grandfather; and potentially 5) have a job.

That's a lot for anybody, and too much for many men. Something ends up getting dropped, and it's often the factor least likely to be a squeaky wheel. [/quote]
