[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet OP frequently comes up with reasons to drop by, like the computer cord, which turn into entire evenings spent at Dad’s house.

Dad is probably also annoyed by the clinginess and lack of boundaries, but doesn’t know how to tell OP. Daughter picks up on that and is behaving accordingly.[/quote]

09:40 here. This is exactly what happened in my situation. And frankly, my daughter saw clearly. Ex-GF wasn’t a bad person but she was definitely clingy and definitely had her own long-term agenda about “moving forward” that was more unilaterally developed than she probably wanted to admit to herself.

To 09:40, so glad to hear there are very same dad's out there! I'm a divorced mom with an elementary kid and really truly only seek out the kind of relationship you originally had in mind. All amongst my divorced female friends I see these forced drip-truth blendings of families. IMHO part of the casual gf turning into this constant visitor is because women 37+ get their friends and family talking about a oh so romantic move-forward 24/7 as soon as divorced-dad bf material moves into the realm. Ask me how I know. Even my ex-freakin MIL was blibber-blabbering about how he could find a woman who'd be nice to kid and I could find a divorced dad to take care of his kids. Was the last conversation I had with her. Basically explained to her that this is NOT what the kids want it need. I know enough young adults who lived and hated it. May be an extreme position but I once read this in a book: blending family life is is essentially maximum fulfilment of the adults' wants.[/quote]
