A male United States age , anonymous writes:

My girlfriend that I have been dating for a couple months said some strange things last night. In short, my daughter is visiting and we stayed at my girlfriends place for 5 days. We live in different cities, but close enough to commute for long weekends or just a day and a night.

She said last night after seeing how I was with my daughter that she would always be second in my heart. That was a stunner. I thought my heart was big enough to handle two very special females.

Was she trying to tell me that we are done in a round about way? Help.

Coming from a daughter who is dealing with her father having a "REAL GIRLFRIEND".. or possible wife. after he's been single for 19 years..

I think Thats is both good and bad.

For one, until your daughter is married and completely out of the nest.. or Your pocket mainly.. She will always be Envious of your daughter. And she should. Thats your baby girl.

And B, She could just really admire your relationship with your daughter and know that she has to except that your daughter will always come first. Because in reality, All the love you have for your girlfriend aside.. It's the truth!

ASK HER, Talk to your Girlfriend about it more and let her know how you feel. Good Luck!

Tigger3165 agony aunti think she just needs to know that you still have room in your heart for her... its hard to know what she meant by the statement... but she needs to understand that a persons child comes first... that's the way it should be... but that doesn't mean you can't love her too...

Thanks everyone, my daughter is nine and she is a daddies girl. My girlfriend is 49, my age. Do you think she is jealous? She also said a lot of goofy things like, if she was my daughter I would be pushing her to do this and that. That I should be going out with a blonde haired green eyed girl, that she wasn't my type. The more I think about it, the easier decision it will be to make. I think I just did, there are greener pastures with no drama. Thanks, Later.

not at all it may be the fact, she is accepting that you have a daughter and that she doesnt mind being second best or she could see how close the two of you were so close and maybe she felt taht she could never get that close to you,

have a chat with her and tell you how that comment mad you feel and she may come up with some answers

hope this helps x

eyeswideopen agony auntIt sounds like she was just looking for some reassurance. Tell her what you just told us, you have a heart big enough for two very special females. If she still feel this inordinate sense of competition with your daughter, then you'd best move onto greener pastures. Good luck!
