Four weeks after my SO and his son20, daughter16, moved out into their own apartment, I am suddenly introduced to someone by SO as his fiancee? What? Then he tells them that "he was perfectly happy raising his son and daughter instead of dating, until he met me." "Before, he truly didn't know what it was like to really love somebody, that I was the love of his life." SO's son was standing right there when he did it too. I was surprised because he hasn't done that since before they moved out. I still have not spoken to his mini-wife/daughter. SO thinks that we will eventually start talking again. Not if I can help it! I STILL have not been to see the apartment eventhough he keeps inviting me.

After their move, SO's first two weeks was spent catering to his daughter's every desire. He was there at her beconed call to pick her up from so and so's house, take her here and there, make sure he was home with her every night except for one when he was at my house. In the past, SO's son did all the picking up and carting around of sis. Now, four weeks later, I'm hearing SO telling son to call your sister and find out who's house she's at now. See if you need to pick her up. Are you going to be home when she gets there? The tables are starting to turn.

Sis has been 16 since November, but can't drive worth a s---! She called SO Sunday when he was with me and started her,"Hey Daddy!" "I love you!" "I love you too, baby." " Do you think you can take me to get my driver's license tomorrow?" "Please!" SO,"I can't take off tomorrow for something like that." Daughter,"But you took half a day off Friday!" Dad," That was to meet some customers and go to the doctor to get my shot." Then daughter started to get ugly! "Well WHEN AM I GOING TO GET IT?" (Wait for it....here comes the guilt trip) "You can take off for everything else but to take me to get my license!" "It's not fair that you care more about work than you do me!" Oh, Lord!!!! This was met with a,"We'll talk about it later." "Ok, love you too!" Puke!

So let's see now, daughter has new bedroom, living room, dining room, and patio furniture, but that's not enough. She's going in for the kill and get everything out of her dad that she can. SO is broke right now from all of the spending he has had to do for the "new" apartment. Daughter is ALWAYS at a friend's house on the weekend, or a friend stays with her at the apartment while dad and I spend some time together. I feel like SO and I have taken a step backwards. I'm conscious not to call him, he has to call me. I don't initiate any plans or conversations, he has to. The two of us are totally stressed out, but it's for the best.
