You’ve got two big problems. The first problem is that she lives with her parents and she won’t let you come over to their home because they don’t like you. She’s not a teenager. She’s an adult, so this is her choice.[i]I don’t see that there’s anything you can do about this problem since you’ve already broached it with her, and she continues the status quo, brushing you off with a comment about your not having anything to worry about because she loves you. She’s put your feelings on the back burner. [/i]

The second problem is that she’s spending family time with her ex-boyfriend who is a father figure and son in law figure to her daughter and family. He’s obviously still in love with her. She’s not ready to let go of him. She’s an adult, and if you’ve told her that this is not what you want for your future with her and her daughter, and she continues to behave this way, you can’t change her….You can only change (wait for it….) YOU!

I know you asked if you could address this issue with her without “causing a fight or a break up”, and the answer is no. You’re letting her walk all over you and she’s going to continue to do so unless she knows you’re serious, and unless you’re willing to say that you want a woman who makes you her one and only man, you’re going to continue to be her doormat.

I’m sorry that this isn’t going the way you want it to, but it’s time for you to let her know you’re serious about finding Ms. Right and if she’s not that woman, you need to find the one who is.
