why is my fiancé so desperate for his 10 yo daughter's love? she doesn't care to say goodnight to him. she goes into her room and closes the door and goes to sleep. he watches the clock and tries to make it out to say goodnight. last night, he stood by her door and asked if he could have a hug or if she was already undressed (she likes to sleep naked). she sounded annoyed and awkwardly said that she was already undressed. he sounded so disappointed as he told her goodnight and he loves her. the girl is emotionally unattached and not at all affectionate.

i realize the older that his daughter gets, the more annoying they are as a pair. i feel like he'd be happier without me around as long as his baby is there to fill all of his emotional holes. YUCK. she just came to our bedroom door and asked to come in and he JUMPED and said YEA!!! so quickly and loudly. as though he was excited that she was at the door acknowledging his existence by speaking to him. ha ha ha! when the other kids in the house come to the door and ask to come in, he doesn't even respond.

after lurking for a while and hesitating to join - up until the other night when i had an incident that had me up late googling how to handle being with a man that has daughters - i finally broke down and signed up. i have read and researched so much and i have to ask, what is with dads and girls?
