Can anyone explain what the is wrong with my DP? We’ve been together 2 and half years and love him to bits etc but there’s one thing we fight about and it’s always him putting my 2 DDs down. They’re older 21 and 24 and live with me at home and he has his place with his 9 year old son he has shared custody of. My girls aren’t close to him and we all keep things apart which is hard for me. He seems to get jealous if i mention them and it really bugs me so badly we end up arguing. He literally puts them down to my face and it makes me hate him so much. Why does he do it? It’s like because they’re not friendly towards him, he takes offence and is nasty about them . For instance , my eldest got her final uni grade today 2.1 and i was so pleased and i told him and all he said was what’s the point , she needs to get to work (even though she has a job lined up with the police) He can’t understand my love for them and it’s always about his son . Just because mine are older, he thinks you just let them go and forget them and because they still live with me etc he thinks i mollycoddle them etc. We get on so well other than when anything comes up about my girls .

I completely know exactly what you’re all saying and never in a million years would i put him before my girls. That’s why I kick off when he says things . I know what I need to do
I'm hoping that means you'll be telling him you no longer want a relationship with him then, OP?

Wherever the line in the sand is in this relationship he has gone way over it and he needs to go.

There's a thread on the Relationships board currently "My husband hugely favours on child over the other" - which isn't going well at the moment and I think the OP's left the thread - but it might be worth you reading the first few of her posts to see what might happen. In that case her husband is behaving badly towards her son (not his child).

I hope she's able to sort out what's going on on her relationship- and I hope you'll be giving a clear message to your DP also. Good luck OP. 🌹

I'd be dumping him. Why would you spend your life with someone who resents/dislikes your dc, even if they are adults?

Your "partner" isn't someone's ex for nothing, I bet there's a long stream of his ex'es becoming sick of his strange ways.
He is clearly so jealous of your daughters and what they have achieved. Not suprised they won't have anything to do with him.
Bin him and then you won't have to argue.
