thank you for your helpful, detailed reply. It made me feel better. You are right. All the possibilities you suggested in your reply are probably the cause of this behaviour. This is my second serious relationship (my first being my marriage which ended in Divorce last year) so when the relationship involves a child from another marriage, it is very new to me and I am still learning. Unfortunately, I had very high expectations at the start which has always been my mistake. Right now, I dont really like to hang out with the bf’s daughter as much. I think giving her some space is best. I also don’t want to give too much of myself (as I once did when I first met her). Is it a bad thing if i don’t look forward to visiting my boyfriend as much when his daughter is there compared to when she’s not there?
