Does the daddy's perfect child thing ever go away
Forums:
I am tossing between staying or leaving my 4 year relationship.
I love my fiance more than anything.
Just dont know if I can keep feeling the way I do.
His daughter is treated more like his gf than I am his fiance.
She is the most perect thing god has put on this earth in his eyes.
She is 16 now.
I guess what I am wondering is if it ever stops after the sd grows up and moves out. And if others are going through this aswell ?
Stepping I know I will not
Stepping
I know I will not be much of a help here BUT I can honestly say that during the 1st round of my marriage with this man the same issues were going on but mine have gotten worse now that they older and bigger manipulators...this relationship is a game to them and him because he plays right along.
I took my ring off a few days ago and told him to give it to "whiner" because she plays more the wife role. I have stated to him many times, she wears his balls and he BOWS to her every chance he gets and she loves it.
While I have never caught them sleeping together all of the signs are there...he is pussywhipped and I DO NOT ever see that changing and after reading people post on here about their adult stepchildren still causing issues on the marriage I KNOW that is where this relationship will be when they reach adults so I have no hope with this twisted situation...maybe if the man grows his balls back there is hope but until then do not look for a happy ending!

thankyou I agree with

I agree with you.
My sd rules her father
I am not allowed to say anything about the things she does wrong.
He can say things to me about what he thinks my kids are doing wrong BUT all hell breaks loose if I dare say anything about his girl. We almost split up everytime.
He has 2 kids sd 16 ss 13 they are both very very spoiled thier mom and her new bf give them everything they want. Now sd lives with us and my fiance cant stop spreading the word of her.
Just a while ago we were talking about getting the kids to help around the house and he says well you know sd she helps around the house alot and she is the only kid who recycles (she through on tin can into the box wow) and she does nothing more around here than my kids do.
sorry I was venting
I just wish he would open his eyes and see she is no more perfect than any of my children.
And he actually told me the other day because she is living with us now and he doesnt have to pay child support for her that she is more special than my kids because she saves us money each month and my cost us
Yes, I am in the same
Yes, I am in the same boat!
BM kicked the kids out of her home because they TRIEd to ruin her marriage and they hit her LITTLE kids (accidentally of course-they are very JEALOUS!)
Helping around the house---his petite little 160 pound kids would kill themselves. We are getting ready to do a Do it Yourself Military move and husband looked at me and asked if I was going to help. I explained to him that My son and I would help UNTIL the moment I saw him expecting us to lift anything heavier than he expected the petite angels to lift. I explained that if I could lift it and if my son (who weighs less than them and only a few months older)could lift it then they would get off their ass and do the same or the game was off and we would NOT lift a finger.
It really is disgusting to watch and I even stopped having sex with my husband and now sleep on the couch BUT I am getting ready to move my desk from the marital bedroom into my daughter's room and move another matress in under her bunk bed (it sits high) and sleep in her room until the move. I no longer see him as masculine as it is hard to do when I witness him being pushed around by a 13 year old and when they both talk to him as though they are way smarter...and they are smarter than him because they talk their way out of everything either with guilt or whatever else works....to me he is just a beaten little boy who is henpecked by his other wives....I am just the, well I haven'tfigured what I am yet as I REFUSE to be their slave
I am horrible with advice but from my standpoint at last I know you are right there with me! Good luck!
Oh yeah and with my son....husband cannot stand him...there was even an incident where husband "restrained" son during a meltdown...son said he was choking him and a case was opened up against husband, CPS did fault him for physical violence" and now he has to fight the Navy. Much of the time my son does not even acknowledge husband's existence, he is not rude just has nothing he wants to speak to him about...he knows it is pointless!

That is the diff between his
That is the diff between his kids and mine.....mine want nothing but peace and quiet and are very quiet kids...his are LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS in this home (perfect angels-except for arguing with each other to draw attention-they think its funny--hahahaha)
His are in your face, ALWAYS wanting something else or just flat out being bitches saying things intentionally because they know it will cause a fight between husband and myself....mine THANK GOD want nothing more than harmony and happiness and that is NO exaggeration just because I am mom.

I know what you mean My
I know what you mean
My eldest son is very distant from my fiance they dont really get along well my son sees how things are different for him compared to sd and has very little respect for my fiance Lol my son even asked sd if she had crush on her dad she flipped on him and my son told maybe she should start acting like she doesnt
I too am finding it hard to look at my fiance like I did when we first got togther as he puts his daughter so highly above everyone else and his actions say to me that she is his idea of a perfect women to him and that I am just blah
...It is so sad for the kids
...It is so sad for the kids and I hate it for all that are in this situation.
That is funny about your son asking if she had a crush on her father I love it! My husband, when I accuse his "whiner" of that has asked her straight out but it always starts with "she says....is it true...." Well duh, how in the hell do you think she will answer. He asked her the questions in such a manner that she knows what answer she is supposed to give and even the counselor has tried telling my husband that depending on how the question is asked will be the answer given...she has reminded him that he is a cop and should know how that works.....Like I have stated my husband thinks he is so smooth and no one else notices his bizarre actions
My husband actually walked in one day and my son was sitting on the marital bed where his KIDS SIT FREQUENTLY with their feet all over it and husband turns a blind eye BUT he had the nerve to tell me son to go ahead and get undressed and fuck me since he KNOWS that is what my son wants to do!!!!! My son told him to shut up!
That was the one and only time my son has ever talked back or been outright "disrespectful" and do you know my husband had the nerve to say that he wanted an apology from my son for telling him to "shut up"....I couldn't believe.
Husband said that he had a right to tell my son to fuck me in the bed because I tell his kids that all the time. First of all, I have NEVER asked his main wife if they are fucking and I have never told her to strip and fuck her father.....NEVER BUT I have told husband that the way he acts with her that it seems like they are fucking each other. I have never told his kid to do that
Yes, it is a messed up situation and yes, I know that I WILL be leaving BUT only when I am ready....my son and myself will have ALL of the support we will ever need in San Diego so the only one whose true colors are gleaming are husband's and karma is a bitch! THe older he gets the harder it is for him to hide his insanity and true colors, counselor has called him out a couple of times which is why I quit because he started to feel threatened and quickly had to make me look like the "bad guy" even if that meant lying and I refused to go with him
I will be starting back with her next week because I loved her and she still sees "whiner" and she helped with my son.....I missed having her to talk to BUT was not going to counseling to defend myself against lies and a psychopath...do enough of that at home
Fortunately she knew he was lying because the 1st time he tried it I said "I was leaving and would not defend against lies"...he was trying to say that when my son and "whiner" verbally argue...she thrives on starting it, that I always send "whiner" to her room....NOT TRUE at all. Anyhow, counselor called "whiner" into the room and asked her about it without digging for the "right" answer and "whiner" unknowingly made it clear it was not the way he said
The second time he did this (this round of marriage-happened on the first round but I was too stupid to stand up to it-not stupid just uncertain what to do)was when he had talked to me the night before we went to the counselors and he had made a comment to me that he doesn't like to discipline his kids because he knows it makes me "cream in my pants" when he does do something. I told the counselor what he had said, she questioned him on it, he denied it and kept dancing around the subject trying to lie, she kept asking and he continued with the games so I stood up and said I was done with counseling and wasting time with his lies....I left and never went back, that was about a month ago.

Areyouserious - this is
Areyouserious - this is really getting bad. For anyone to say something like that in front of the kids is really getting out of control! I almost feel you should leave as there is no winning in this situation.
Surely a new start would be better than this? I forget if that is an option for you?

I have been battling this
I have been battling this for a few years now and IT HAS GOTTEN BETTER.
It has been an uphill struggle though. It has taken a lot of counseling and a lot of patience. At the age of 16 it will be much more difficult. I was lucky and started when my SD was 8, now 10. Working with the counselor, we have helped my BF understand that his daughter needs to be independent. She needs to learn life skills, not how to get out of them. It does help that he lets me DIRECT her, not discipline her. I can tell her to do her chores and clean her room. If she does not, he backs me up.
the counselor and I tried the direction of "Freedom is your partner, not SD10" he did not understand it. He said that it was different because she is his daughter. Well, DUH. The avenue we had to use was the princess syndrome. That she would be needy all her life and not just dependent on HIM but MEN in general. That she would look to men to solve all her problems. THAT got to him. She is still special to him, and I like that part, but he also expects more of her now.
Good luck!

For me, it has gotten better. And he has made baby steps towards progress. But SD is 9. At 16, it's probably already too late.
