She’s Been Dating Her Boyfriend For Two Years, Yet He Hides Her From His Daughter And Won’t Allow Her To Meet The Little Girl
It’s been a little more than two years so far that this 36-year-old woman has been in a relationship with her 38-year-old boyfriend.
Her boyfriend has a little girl with his ex who’s about to turn six in a few months. She says that she and her boyfriend have a wonderful relationship despite some normal highs and lows, and everything was amazing up until recently.
As they celebrated their first anniversary, anxiety began to set in for her since she still had not gotten to meet his daughter.
They sat down to have a serious conversation, and her boyfriend said he really wanted to have a future with her, so she let the issue of not meeting his daughter go.
From there, they did have discussions about what together would be like for them, and he maintained he wanted her to be a stepmom to his little girl.
“Now it’s been just over 2 years and still no progress,” she explained. “Our recent disagreements center around him not sharing his whole life with me.”
While she has met her boyfriend’s sister and family, she has never been over to his house or met his daughter, and he has full custody of the little girl.
Her boyfriend’s ex is still in his daughter’s life, but they ended their relationship four years ago. She has thought to ask her boyfriend why she isn’t invited over to his house while his daughter is with her mom, and he shrugs while saying it never crossed his mind.
Yesterday, though, things took an interesting turn when her boyfriend informed her that she will not be able to meet his daughter until sometime at the end of this year or early in 2025. He promised her the same exact timeline a year ago, and never followed through on that.

“When I pressed him why that timeline he gave me the excuses: I’m working on it, there’s things I need to do first, I have to talk to her mom,” she said.
“We’ve been together 2 years. Why, at this point, is he putting the mother’s feelings over mine?! He told me I will be a great mother and how kind and caring I am, and he knows I’m great with kids (I’m a teacher), so I just don’t get it.”
Her friends believe she should dump him and run for the hills, and they call her nuts for remaining with her boyfriend.
She has questioned her guy friends about their opinion of her relationship, and they insist her boyfriend has to be hiding something else from her than just his daughter.
She adores her friends but is worried they are biased since they only want what is best for her. She also loves her boyfriend very much, but the hiding of his daughter is making her feel hurt and miserable.
“He has no problem showing me his daughter when we are on FaceTime but he won’t allow her to see or speak to me,” she continued.
“He deliberately hides me when she comes close, and when she asks him who he is talking to, he ignores or changes the subject. When we first met (met at a friend’s gathering), he was talking about his life being a single dad and how great his daughter is.”
“He continues to talk about her and even asks me for advice dealing with school. I’ve helped him navigate really important situations with the school with regard to his daughter.”
What advice do you have for her?
