I Just Got Out of a Bad Relationship

Hello a Similar Worlds family,
I just have to speak about something that is on my mind. I was dumped in November after a 6 year relationship. You know how you look back at your ex-relationship to try and figure out what happened? Well one of my major issues with my ex was his teenage daughter who was allowed in adult conversations, make choices for him, talking to me any kind of way with no reprimand.

In all my years I have never seen this. As the years went on her attitude became worse. He continued to say nothing to her about her behavior. I could not believe it. My aunt says that him dumping me was the best thing. She also said his daughter should choose his mate for him. That is the only way that she is going to accept his new woman.

At first, I thought that my aunt was being ridiculous but after my sister and cousin agreed with it I believe it now. Now it makes me think that some men allow this. Really?!! WTF???!!!

If this is what dating and relationships are you can keep that bulls&$t !!!

What do you guys think?

I think he owes you for six years of disrespect and emotional abuse; though there's no way to ever get those half dozen years back you'll simply have to take a deep sigh of relief that you didn't lose 16 years.
I am truly sorry you went through that.

That is a common theme I hear a lot these days. I admit it is something that baffles me for the most part. And when the father does nothing it condones the caustic behavior of the child.

My niece and her husband are going through the same behavior/mouth problems with a 12yr old. In her case a lot of the girl's behavior/mouth can be traced back to the biological mother's attitude and her verbalization of said attitude. The stepdaughter is just repeating what she hears her mother say. Why some parents do this is beyond me.

The only thing I can advise is to treat it as a learning experience to take into your future relationships.

Maybe his daughter was jealous. that you where going to take him away from her. Be should have grown a pair and stood up to her. You can move on girl. And live your life. Leave that idiot in the dust
