I am a single woman who has never been married. I was in a very long and serious relationship before this one, I ended it for various reasons but none of them were hateful. My whole life I have dreamed of marrying and having lots of children and ideally i never dreamed of having the baggage that I do in my current relationship. While I am by no means looking for a fairytale wedding, I do care about making things as traditional as possible when I do marry. My current boyfriend and I have been together for 3+ years, he's divorced and we live together.

I say pseudo because I am not married to her father I am living with him. Here is the story.... He has 2 kids 5 and 6. They always loved me and I adore them. They are so sweet and good. I started dating him while he was in the process of divorce. I was not the cause of their divorce and I've only met her once. I don't blame her for not liking me as she didn't want the divorce but he has not been in the house for 5 years now. Just recently the youngest overheard her mother say she didn't like me. This would explain why she has been crying and acting up.
