Hi.i just need a little perspective please. I know I can be over sensitive.
I went away with my partner and children, all over 18 to a festival with a group of friends with their teens and young adults. I know them and I'm fond of them but as he is a widower, I am always conscious that I'm not completely at ease as conversations will turn to his wife. Anyway, I am equally conscious to allow my partner to have time with his kids. His son did his own thing most of the time. His daughter however spent 2/3 of her time with us. She is 21. He list his wife 11 years ago. What bothered ne is that she would squeeze between us when we were dancing or when we were walking, she would come between us and scoop her father away at a faster pace, if I got up, she would sit in the chair I was sitting in. She belittled my opinion many times. They would also make decisions without me. What made me feel uncomfortable was the fact that she would put her arms around his neck and her head on his shoulders or his face she also went up on a low table and tried to jump on his back for a piggy back. I feel that I am not his partner in their dynamic. I am not jealous, I lost my dad aa a child know its an important relationship to nurture. We have been together 9 years, we see each other every weekend and this was my only holiday and time away with him. If you need more context, let me know. Thank you.
