Hi, just wondering if anyone else has experienced similar issues, and if so how you overcame them. I separated from my daughters father nearly 2 years ago. On the whole my daughter coped very well with the separation. I have had a new partner for a year now and have slowly been introducing him to my daughter. I have known this man for nearly 10 years as a colleague and can honestly say he is one of life’s good guys.They get along fine and my daughter is aware that eventually we will all move in together, here is where some issues come in to play. My daughter becomes very clingy whenever my new partner is present and will not leave us alone for a second. My new partner has been very patient but feels that things should have become to get a little easier by now. I ensure that my daughter and I get quality time alone together and reassure her that I still love her more than anything but she will try anything in her power to try and stop me being close to my new partner, despite admitting that she likes him a lot. Does anybody have any words of wisdom? Thanks in advance
