Yes she does. If my daughter can't stand my GF for whatever reason, I am certainly not going to marry her. I put DD first every time.

It sounds like the boyfriend's daughter would just prefer her dad not to date, it's not personal against the GF - the daughter has said so. Even the daughter's mom is fine with OP and has tried to step in to no avail. I wonder if the daughter deep down hopes that if GF goes away, her parents may get back together. No one can blame her, of course... [/quote]

I know a grown woman who felt that way about her widowed dad's new partner. Her mother passed away when she was a preteen, her dad was single for over 5 years and didn't start dating again until she was away at college, and she was still very resentful of his dad's girlfriend because she viewed her dad's relationship as a betrayal of her mother. She did come around after several years of pretending the girlfriend (now her dad's wife) didn't exist and refusing to include her in family events. It's hard to see your parent with someone other than your mother. [/quote]
