I've been with my DP for a year, and it's mostly great. We live together, and my DS 10 sees him as a step dad. DD 9 hasn't decided if he's her step dad or her friend and we've said that this is up to her. DP hasn't pushed a relationship on my DC, it all came together really naturally. We had discussions with my dc before he moved in if they wanted him to, and we check in with them on how they're finding living with him as a part of our family.
He has 2 DC, and access to them is difficult. I haven't actually met them yet, and he really wants me to. I feel that with the situation being as strained as it is with his XW, my presence at access would only make things more difficult. But I also see his point that he doesn't want her to control our lives and that they are his dc too. I feel that he thinks that I don't want to meet them, which is not the case at all. I just don't want to make it any more difficult for him during handovers than it already is. So, WWYD?
