[quote=Anonymous]OP, maybe you aren't that great.  I haven't liked the people my parents have dated.  It's not because I'm sad about my parents' divorce, it's because my parents don't make good relationship choices (that's why they're divorced from each other).  My dad's girlfriends come around all ass-kissy, telling me that they loooove him soooo muuuuuch.  Well, I know they'll eventually find out that he's kind of a jerk, so it's a little  awkward for me to have that conversation.  And they're all annoying hippie-dippy women that talk about their chakras and their adult children are always on drugs, and I just have no interest in spending any time on any of them.  My mom's boyfriend is the one she had an affair with, and he's a slob and makes her house gross. He's underemployed and has no retirement savings so she's going to have to bankroll him eventually, but she's totally in denial of it.  So I can't really support the relationship.  They'd both love to believe that I'm just still in so much pain, poor pathetic me, so stuck in the past.  But really, their dating choices are not very good and I don't have to support it.  So when she says it isn't personal to you, maybe don't totally believe her.  It's more socially acceptable for her to say it isn't personal.  But maybe you aren't as wonderful as you think you are.

Your reluctance to acknowledge that your relationship with her father holds real drawbacks for her is concerning.  This will never work if you can't get real.[/quote]
