I met his daughter

[Imogenbee]

I met my partner’s 17 year old daughter today as we were in the area so he offered her a lift back. He did not introduce us and I said hello. Upon meeting she looked unsettled so I don’t know if it is because of me or I know she gets a lot of people shouting horrible comments in the street as she dresses gothic. He said she is quite reserved so I don’t know how she is with people she does not know.

I just felt a third wheel a bit so when we got to her house I dropped them off and went to a local garden centre so they can catch up. I don’t feel it is for me to impose myself in her and her mother’s home. I know she told him a while back she has no time for dad’s girlfriends as he had dated some women in the past who were quite nasty to her as a child so she is weary.

He has an 18 year old daughter who was at work and he said she is a bit more engaging and would have chatted.

How do you get on with your partner’s children?

Rude and unnecessary.

He sounds rude and charmless. Where on earth were his manners not to even say ' DD this is my friend lmogenbee'.By his lack of courtesy he has embarrassed both you and his daughter.
Also why did he go to 'catch up' with her knowing you would have to waste your time waiting for him?
I don't like the sound of all these exes who were nasty to his daughters either. How many had he been through since his marriage ended? Quite a few red flags waving here OP, l'd be having a rethink about him if l were you.
