[quote=Anonymous]At this point your niece is essentially a daughter, you stepped in and I think you did the right thing. As far as including him, how would you treat a soon to be SIL? I’d probably invite him to many local things but not the vacation. I’d present this to niece as a traditional milestone. Full family privileges come after the marriage. Finally, if you and DH can sit down with the two of them and adult to adult voice your concerns about what would happen to niece and their future children if fiancé dies or is incapacitated, I would do that. Keep it judgment free. Maybe it will plant a seed in their mind that she should have something to fall back on. I definitely would not push her to live with him before they marry. If she’s not bringing it up I would not either. [/quote]
