Dear Carolyn:
I am in a committed relationship with a divorced man who is the father of two young adults, 22 and 24.
My boyfriend was separated six years ago and has been divorced for three. I did not even know him during this time.
Since we started dating, I have been barred from spending any event with my boyfriend where his children would be present. I have met them only once in the three years I've dated their father.
My boyfriend claims my presence would be too upsetting to them.
I have told him repeatedly how much it pains me to be systematically excluded, particularly during holidays. He has in turn indicated "his needs are subordinate to those of his children," and even admitted he is "selfish when it comes to not wanting to share his children with anyone," including me. He said he will not compromise, so I may be asking the obvious question ... is it time to let go of him?
