The overaffection
Now I'm with a husband and his stepdaughter. He admitted he let her be "the wife" meaning he guilt parented and never could say no. Then he let her do whatever. Since we been together, she has improved much and so has he. He has been really good in listening to my concerns EXCEPT when it comes to the overaffection with his daughter and telling her my intimate concerns. He talks about how talking about your feeling for a man is weak but then blabs all his feelings to his ten year old. Well he told my feelings to her and I found out when she got mad at me, because she would bring up what I said to him in confidence. He says he stopped but i think he is lying because his D (daughter) says she is worried about everything. I think because he talks to her about his issues. He said he wanted her to be a part of the family. I said that is not how. She doesn't have to know EVERYTHing. OVERAFFECTION. He did stop in front of me, but i suspect he is doing it behind my back. I said no letting her sit in your lap, no sleeping with her, no kissing on the lips, no long embraces, snuggling because she has tits for Gods sake. She is going through puberty EARLY, yes at 10. I said touch feels different and you need to set boundaries so she knows how to set them with men. He was pissed and stopped ...he says but I heard her say, i agree we dont have to stop. Then one time i was coming up the stairs and he said ..is she coming. His D said yes and she ran into the room and shut the door. I asked about it and he refuses to say what it is. I suspect the hugging, kissing, rubbing. It makes me angry and I think because I dont get that much affection. All i get is bend over. Two, why would i want to kiss him if he is kissing her daily, regularly in the mouth. You have to understand this was everyday in the morning, evenings every chance they get. She will every now and again do some weird touch with him and he sees my face and will move away. Look, I understand a kiss on forehead, a hug, an embrace when appropriate like she happy or sad or a just because sometimes but this is way to much. I have talked till I'm blue in the face, I talked to her about inappropriate touch out of a book that says adults have to calm their affection down but they dont listen. So the overaffection and telling all my business he will NOT stop apparently. He won't reason. He says one day she wont let me do it so i want to get it in. Ok, i get that, but it's too much, I'm uncomfortable and he doesnt care. She is getting therapy because the school forced him because she will just decide not to do her work or cooperate and they said something is wrong. I'm hoping the therapist can help her. I do not suspect SA. I think it's not setting those boundaries is not helping her emotionally. I got married to have an intimate partner through connection and affection but that is going to his D. I feel like all i can do is play with her, do her hair, clean the house and bend over at night. He says I'm more than that, but it don't feel like it. I'm trying to see how I an cope with this. I guess i can be happy i can talk to my friends, family. As far as affection, I guess I will always feel like the side chick to her. She said she is the first wife.. He didnt disagree. Annoyed.
I think you have some real
I think you have some real and valid concerns around their relationship. This is by far healthy IMO. Unfortunately your H has enabled this and it seems for a long time now. So now not only are dealing with a man who has maladaptive emotional coping skills but he has now taught his daughter the same. I am going to keep this real simple. You cannot change him or support her if you arent all on the same page. How will you be able to do that? It seems you have had MANY conversations about your concerns. It seems your family dynamics are severly impacted by this. So unless, your H is willing to address this in the serious nature that it is, you will need to review wether this family dynamic is something you will be comfortable with in the long haul.
Best of luck.
I meant to say - This by far

Their relationship is not
Their relationship is not normal. It is sick and perverted.

You should be thinking sexual assault because that is what is
You should be thinking sexual assault because that is what is happening. He is hiding what he is doing from you - why would he do that if what he was doing wasn't wrong? He is kissing and hugging and "rubbing" a girl who is going through puberty - it is wrong and not normal. Please find a therapist that you can talk to that can help you deal with this situation. Where is bio mom?
"DH, do you understand that
"DH, do you understand that this is what grooming looks like?"
He knows that what he's doing is wrong, otherwise why would he hide it? Worse, why would he condition his CHILD to hide it?
"He says one day she wont let
"He says one day she wont let me do it so i want to get it in."
The fact that you heard him and his *10-year-old whispering about how they agree they won't stop with the lap-sitting, spooning, sleeping in the same bed, and kissing on the lips, but they both know you don't like it is fking weird. And "Hurry up, she's coming!" Before physically separating is what someone does when they have an affair. Even if his penis isn't going into her vagina, this is more than even an emotional affair, because there's a physical component. This is very bad and i think it does constitute emotional abuse. There is little chance she will grow up and be able to have healthy relationships.
You should talk to someone
A professional therapist, and get real advice. You must decide what to do. You don't want to be part of this. How can you have a relationship with a man who sexually abused his DD.?
This guy is an incestuous mollesting POS.
Make no mistake about it. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. This is already beyond emotinal incest. Make a call to CPS and law enforcement and drag perve daddy through that learning experience kicking and screaming by his short and curlies.
I would.
That kid needs to be protected from the shallow and polluted paternal end of her gene pool.
Get on with living your best life. Make damned sure that this perve-daddy has zero access to your children if you have any.
Put his ass in prison, protect this little girl from her own father, and get on with your life with this incestuous shit show in your past.
Take care of you.
