[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait until your daughter is 18 to remarry.  Her concerns are legitimate and real.  Until your daughter is 18, she needs to be your priority, not a man or his kids.  You are being very selfish by doing this for yourself and to her.  Listen to your daughter.[/quote]

No way. I think it's important for minor children to see loving  marriages and happy couples. [/quote]

The OP already showed her a bad example with her first husband.  She doesn't need another bad example with the second when it will undoubtedly cause the child stress and unhappiness.  The OP had her chance with hubby number 1, now it is her time to prioritize her daughter.[/quote]

Parents can be in loving relationships and still make their kids a priority.  She needs to be reassured things like where are you living - will she still get her own room equal to what she has now?  Can she still do her activities?  Will she still get mom time?  What about her relationship with Dad.  Its reasonable to be worried and ask questions.  [/quote]

+1 to all of this!

Finally a measured & reasonable response that doesn't involve sweeping generalizations, worst case scenario assumptions, or needless judgement & sanctimony![/quote]

Agreed - I was wondering if there were one or two posters repeatedly posting the same thing.

It seems like a lot of projection happening here . . . [/quote]
