My wife of a year (2 year together ) brings her daughter (22) everywhere.
We have arranged to go to gigs and she invites her daughter
I said let's go to Paris for the weekend -she invited her daughter
Our anniversary day out ,she brought her daughter and her daughters boyfriend
Her daughter is at Uni and doesn't live with us
Sometimes I would just like it be us two
Would you be bothered by this ?
Sometimes it feels like she wants her along because I'm boring
We went out with my friends who are quite intellectual and surprise surprise she brings her daughter
I don't have any kids so not sure if it's normal?
If it is -I'm sorry

Very odd and I'd want to find out WHY she didn't want to spend time alone with me 🤷‍♀️

Were you added to the title deeds? The mortgage is a separate thing

Sounds to me like, for the last couple of months, summer holidays, while wife's daughter isn't at uni, your wife has invited her to join at every opportunity. There are a couple of reasons that I can think of. 1, she wants to spend as much time as possible with her daughter while she still has the chance, before daughter moves on with her life. 2, she wants you and daughter to spend as much time getting to know each other before daughter moves on with her life. She probably thinks that daughter would turn down an invitation for something like Sunday dinner as daughter would rather spend time with friends, but she would jump at the opportunity to go to gigs etc. I wouldn't take it personally, it probably has nothing to do with your relationship. When uni starts back in September/October, you can enjoy more time as a couple. The thing is that you need to learn to communicate with your wife and ask her why she keeps inviting her daughter.
