twilamarie is verified as being by the original poster of the questionthanks your right but you would think that after his wife left him and took alot from him left him in debt that they would be glad to have a women that does everythng in the world for him and is so good to all of them but instead i think there just jellous becuse now he does not need his mother for every thing and by the way they live right next door to each other so they know every thing that goes on there,if she sees me go up the drive way she will call and see if he would like her to make him a lunch or calls to see if he wants to come down for dinner and she know i'm there but never asked if we would like to she acts like oh i did not know she was there and says well maybe next time as if she was exspecting him to leave me there and just come down.i think i have had my years of hurting over all this and thanks to all that help me realize its not me but them who has a problem but it still hurts and i wil just have to stop racking my brains to figure it out but i do know i do not deserve to be treated this way,i was always good to them and careing and for the way they treated me was very hurtfull and unreanable and for --- to let them and pretend he never noticed shows im not worth the time to realize how it hurt me and to do somthing about it,i mean after all you would think if he cared enough he would of put a stop to it long ago,but instead he feeds it so to speek thanks again every one,i think ill go out tonight with a friend who knows a change will do me good bye!

 The family are trying to shut you out, they don't want him dating anyone unless it's the mother of his children. He can't see or he dosen't care, he dosen't realise how he's been deliberately manipulated into showing rudeness towards you..
Seven years is a long time, too long to walk away without one last shot. I was taught by my mother, never to reward bad behaviour. His children and family are not your concern, your not dating them, your dating him. He's the one who should be making you feel comfortable, he's the one who should be forcing them to accept you. Because he acts like he dosen't care, it gives them permission to treat you anyway they want. All this is going to stop, it's going to stop today. I want you to first set up a list of rules.
1. If they make plans without you, don't ask anything, don't complain, don't argue, just go home again.
2. If you are in the company of the family and you are being ignored, again, don't seek attention from anyone, don't complain, don't sulk, just go home again.
3. Everytime you are forced to go home alone because they are rude to you, do not take any calls from him for at least 3 days. Do not call him, and make sure that he can't reach you.
4. After 3 days, you can answer his calls, but DO NOT CALL HIM, and do not mention anything about the fact that your unhappy at his behaviour or any of this rudeness.
5. If he asks why you didn't answer the phone, or why you didn't call, or why you went home, the answer must always be the same.. word for word.... "I WAS BUSY" or "I HAD THINGS TO DO" or "I WAS TIRED"....
6. On the days when you are at home ignoring him, you must go and buy yourself something special. Every time he is rude or his family are rude and you find yourself at home alone, I want you to go and buy yourself a present. This must be a present a man would buy. New underwear, flowers, perfume, chocolates, that kind of thing.
7. If he notices these new presents.. the answer is always the same... "I bought them for myself, I wanted a treat", and then you can remember they way he and his family have treated you, and I want you to smile.
Do these things, never get angry, always get even. I want you to be the perfect girlfriend, but every time you are hurt I want you to go home alone, and think of something nice to buy.
He'll bloody notice you then, especially if you keep smiling and looking happy. In the end he'll get curious, he'll want to know why your so happy and why you get all these presents. Keep this up as long as your feeling angry.. Eventually you won't be able to do it, you look at all your presents and you will hate him.
THEN BLOODY LET RIP, AND TELL HIM WHY YOU BROUGHT THE PRESENTS, WHY YOUR ALWAYS BUSY AND CAN NEVER TALK, AND WHY YOUR ALWAYS HOME ALONE BECAUSE HE IGNORES YOU WHEN HIS FAMILY ARE AROUND.

 I alway say its three sides to a story his side her side and the right side, i am really trying to understand what's really going on here... i think you have to know that love dont hurt,
If he care or even respect you at all he would not allow his family to treat you that way, even more he will not treat you that way, girl come on open your eyes, you are the same age i am.
There is no way i would allow any man or women to disrespect me or my children the way he disrespecting you... here is the million dallor question what do he have to keep you with him open your eyes girl he just not into you.

so the only thing i can say is yell at him dont take that crap! do what you want to do yea its childish but if he can play at that game so can you!! if hes treating you like the third wheel do somthing about it dont sit at home waiting for that sleez ball take your kids and have some of your own fun sooner or later he will notice the change and probably start taking interest in what your doing.
as for the family there isnt much u can do about them so juss be kind to them becuz there old so its ok hope i hlelped
