Lucky

To all of the steps/future steps on here, do you think our significant others really understand how lucky they are to have found someone to not only love them but their children too? I have been with fdh for a year now and I am still absolutely, positively in love with him and his children! However, there are days that at any other stage in my life and with any other man and any other children, I would have been on the highway heading out of town faster than you could say jack rabbit! FDH and I met right after he and his ex split. There was really significant lapse of a female figure around for he or the children and I am not sure, as much as he loves me, he truly realizes what a blessing that is and how it has affected the kids. What do y'all think? I am not trying to say that I am a hero or need praise or anything; I just think it has been a very fortunate situation for my fdh and he should always remember how lucky he is to have had it work out this way! I've always said that I am the lucky one because I bring only me and a pup and he brought 3 angels to my life, so please understand I realize how truly blessed I am as well!

I do believe that my FDH understands. He was left with 4 kids to raise on his own. He was alone for a while before we met. I could have said "no" and found someone without kids, but I chose not to. He tells me often that he didn't think someone would want him due to having 4 kids. He has told me he would have understood if I would have left. During all the BM drama a few years ago, that could have torn us apart, we worked together to get through it? Easy? No. But it is something I have come to realize comes with the territory of being with a man with an ex and kids. He has told me he feels blessed I have stayed. So, thats how I know he gets it. It isn't all happy, but it helps to have someone who understands how much of a change and sometimes a struggle it is for me. Having said that, I love his kids, who are teens now. They are good kids and we get along pretty well.

Mr. Perfect tells me everyday how blessed he is to have me in his life and thanks me for everything I do for him and his daughter.

I know that my fdh understands, but on tough days I just have to hear it. Every once in a while when BM goes on a rampage and decides I am the anti-Christ, he defends me! He defends me and tells her how lucky he and she are to have me in their lives to help stabilize their kids in this situation. So, that is great to hear. But, how do I tell him I need to hear it more often without sounding needy. Or am I needy? Should I just get over myself? Give me your feedback! I love this site! Its like y'all are my emotional doppelgangers! I appreciate so much that y'all get it and have been or are there!
