I have been dating a man who is cohabitating and co-parenting his two children with his ex. They have separate rooms, and separate lives. I have zero concerns that there is still love there beyond the kids.
We are both very happy. I have an acquaintance relationship with his ex and his boys and I get along great, as do mine with his family. Seven months ago I moved in. Things have been wonderful. Don't get me wrong we had some issues with organization and cleaning, nothing your average communal house doesn't deal with.
His family knows about me as do all his friends and coworkers. I attend gatherings with friends and for his work, but nothing with his family. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter none of them. She still goes with him to all of these events. I was hoping at some point I would be attending these family social events too. We are building a life together.
My question is this- Am I asking too much? I get that she attends for the kids ( who by the way are teenagers) I am not actually bothered that she attends, I'm bothered I don't. He knows I want to go and he tells me to have patience. However, if I am living with you and we are in the place we are, why do you need more time to have me attend these events? Thoughts?
