I've been dating a widower for 8 months. His wife passed after a 10year illness 2 years ago. He has one child with his past wife, and there are 3 children in another state. A few months ago, he suffered a serious illness and I have been the primary care giver while he recovered. I met his biological daughter in the ER, and have been to several events and holidays with her involved. We get along well. He has not introduced me or even told his step kids about me. His step kids never came to see him while he was in icu or in recovery. We've talked about it and he seems scared to tell them that he has moved on. He says they would not be accepting of him being involved. Im not sure what to make of this. He is a sweet wonderful man and otherwise treats me beyond my expectations.we enjoy each other immensely and love spending all our free time together. His stepson is coming into town for business this week and I am not on the addenda to meet him. Terribly hurtful.
