I have been divorced for almost a year, and have been seeing the same woman for even longer. And she had nothing to do with the divorce, we started dating while my divorce was going through it's long painful process.
The issue I have is my girlfriend hasn't met my 14 year old daughter yet. I told my girlfriend that it would be at least six months after my divorce until I would be ready to introduce them. My daughter does know that I'm seeing someone, and I have asked my daughter if she wants to meet her, and her response was "not quite yet"
My girlfriend is pressuring me a LOT on this issue, she doesn't like having to spend every other weekend alone, and not only wants to meet my daughter but wants to sleep over on nights when I have here.
I don't want to pressure my daughter on this, though I do see that I shouldn't let a 14 year old dictate my social life, but at the same time she didn't ask to be put in this situation so if I'm going to make a mistake it's going to be on being over protective of my daughter.
So do you guys think my girlfriend is right to be upset with me on this subject?
