I am dating but I am taking my.time. My new boyfriend is understanding and we are taking it slow and easy. We both want to be comfortable and safe.

I can understand this with younger children; however, my situation involves grown children. I have been dating this man for five years. I have two sons and they like him and only want my happiness. On the other hand, he has two grown daughters, one of whom I get along with so-so, but the other one wants nothing to do with me. I have never even met her husband. I have discussed this with my boyfriend and asked that he have an adult conversation with them both and tell them he would like to have me included in things. He insists that it is the girls' mother's fault that I am not welcome. I have never been invited to his grandchildren's birthday parties, and have been very hurt by this. He seems to think that I am blowing things out of proportion and always tell me "some day maybe they will come around." That "some day" hasn't come yet!!

I'm a single mom and I choose not to introduce my son to who I'm dating until I know in my heart of heart it's for keeps. It was very hard on my son when I left his dad after 11 yrs. of marriage. I don't never want to inflict that type of pain on my son again if I can help it. My number one priority is my son being raised in a healthy loving environment . Love+Love=More Love

Wow! ! This was right on target….i read the book and i also disagreed with Steve Harvey regarding this. You are right about the fact that we should wait until we get to know the person well. Also never take our children for granted when we are in a relationship worth someone. Quite often some women make the mistake of devoting full attention to the relationship and putting the kids aside. .. that's definately a NoNo on my books. .. my kids will always by my priority over anything.

What about the opposite… waiting too long to meet the kids or family? (Like 3 years since the relationship was defined as exclusive)?

I've been dating someone for almost seven months and I've never been to home. She been over to mine all the time. She has a 11 year daughter that I've met one that's lives with her. The issue that I'm having is that we've expressed how we love each other and in a committed relationship, but she hasn't invited me to her home once. It worries me, or should I respect her decision?
