[quote=Anonymous]People really seem to be overreacting and not actually giving you the advice you’re asking for. I think some perspective could be that at some point his daughter will be happy that he found someone to grow old with. As she matures, she will realize the benefit of that for him, and eventually for her. My mom has no one, and it is a huge responsibility for me, for her happiness and her well-being. What a blessing that she can enjoy her dad and not have to worry about taking care of him later in life because he also has you. 
I think you can have a conversation with her about how she is feeling and acknowledge that it must be hard and that you don’t ever want to get in the way of her and her dad. Give her full permission to approach you if she ever needs some alone time with her dad, and have her know that you will oblige. 
There is no reason for you to not get married because of adult children. They have their own lives and will continue to do so. I’m sure it’s hard to have your dad’s wife in pictures but isn’t it also a blessing?! [/quote]
