just had new friend round for the day, we met at our dh's Xmas doo as they work together and hit it off (i already knew her dh)

anyway she asked today how long me and dh had been together so i told her, and she said 'i hope you dont think I'm being nosy but am I right in thinking X is not your dd's father', and I said 'yes but i dont talk about it'.

She was quite nice, although did try and push a bit further asking if she had any contact with ex, but said 'youve been together so long, it doesnt make any difference and blood doesnt make a father'.

I dont know whether to be pissed off or not, but i'm not sure I would have asked the question

manky she doesnt have a similar situation. She is a really nice person dont think she meant anything by it, but I am a bit pissed off, just not used to fending off questions about something I never talk about

I don't think I'd be particularly pissed off. She's probably embarrassed about asking now, thinking back, and maybe that's why she said what she did about blood not making a father. I'd let it go this time, but if she asks again, I'd make the point again, and then be pissed off!
