How would you deal with your divorced boyfriend's exwife and daughter?

I have been dating a man for 6 months who is divorced. His ex-wife lives with their teenage daughter in the house that they shared together. She didn't like the area and her family is in another state. She decided to stay so her daughter could attend high school with her friends.



I have never met his daughter but I know she has hard feelings towards me. She wants her parents to get back together and resents the fact that I am much younger than her mother.



My man recently asked me to move 6 hours into an apartment with him. I love him more than anything but I am still reluctant to move. I am afraid of running into his exwife and I am not sure how to deal with his daughter. I know he will want to go to her high school events and will want to see her on the weekends. I feel like I would want to stay at home so I wouldn't have to see his ex-wife or daughter.



Has anyone experienced this before? Did it work out, or did you regret moving?How would you deal with your divorced boyfriend's exwife and daughter?
If you are serious about marriage with this guy then you need to get serious about a commitment to the daughter. You arent going to escape this without causing grief. Best to make the best show you can of attending and not be angry at the ex who will always be a parent. with the child you will always be the third party and you cant fix that. Just be nice and take care of dad the rest will have to fall into place. Moms and Dads cant be replaced.How would you deal with your divorced boyfriend's exwife and daughter?
If in fact this is the only reason for not wanting to be in their presence, then don't. But if you are the cause for the dissolution of their marriage, then I can understand why the daughter feel the way she does and why you seem to be reluctant to be around.

On the other hand your boyfriend should take every precaution to make sure that every one is comfortable with each other. If he doesn't seem concerned with making it that way for the sake of all the relationships involved, then he's got a reason and it ain't good. You shouldn't feel the way you do if it's worth having this relationship.
