My Partner is not happy that I still see my step children

[Zante111]

My partner has a problem even if I mention the name of my step children from a previous relationship let alone meet them.
I think its the link to my previous partner that is at the root of the problem.
I have no feelings for my previous partner whatsoever.
And I do not need to see my previous partner.
Its difficult to cut people out of your life and I would like to know
Does anyone else have similar issues?

Something i've been thinking about regarding this thread is - what does HE see in YOU? I don't mean that in a bad way at all. What i mean is, if he wants someone with no connection to their past/with people from a previous relationship, then why has he chosen you? Surely there are plenty of people who don't have this particular situation. Also if he wants someone who is prepared to drop everyone at his say so, why has he chosen someone who is as loyal and loving as you? Is it just to prove he can change you? What's the point in that. You either love someone the way they are or find someone more suitable surely?

Anyway, don't change your lovely loyal nature for him. If he wants someone like that, let him go find them, rather than try to squash you in a mould that suits him.

Soon enough there will be something/someone else you need to stop doing to keep him happy.

I have a grown-up nice by marriage whom I adore and count as one of my closest friends. I just can't imagine any future partner telling me to cut my ties with her. You need to set some boundaries and you need to set them now. And if he can't respect them, then you need to LTB. Horrible, controlling behaviour.

He sounds like a controlling twat to me. You seem sensible enough to realise that he is not going to change. Dump him!
