I'm a single mom who's getting in a progressively more serious relationship. My boyfriend and I have been dating for about seven months. Our relationship is looking more and more that it'll be a very long term thing. I haven't introduced him to my daughter (who is 15) yet because I originally thought our relationship was just a fling and wouldn't last long. As it progressed I stopped thinking it was a fling, but I still wasn't sure it would last and didn't want to introduce him to my daughter unless I thought it would be a more long term thing. For the past little while I've actually realized I should probably introduce them, but I put it off because I'm very nervous about how my daughter's going to react as my boyfriend and I do have a significant age difference. I'm 41 and he's 25. I am honestly nervous she'll be super weirded out and/or think I'm having some kind of midlife crisis. I realize that the age difference is a bit different, but when I'm around him I don't feel it. He's very mature. He also is super sweet and loving. I want to be able to understand that (even though he is a younger guy) we actually are on the same wavelength and have a great relationship. I want her to know I'm not going through a midlife crisis, I'm not a sugar mama (he actually makes more money than I do), and know I'm in a loving, mature, committed relationship with a great guy. How can I tell my daughter so she understands this/doesn't think it's too weird?  A few more things 1. My daughter does know I've been seeing someone. She doesn't know about the age difference 2. Her father was physically and verbally abusive to both of us. Neither of us speaks to him anymore. Needless to say I'm not worried about her feeling bad about my boyfriend "replacing" her father. 3. Part of me feels I shouldn't care what she thinks, but it is kind of a big deal to me that my daughter is happy that I'm in a good relationship and doesn't think it's weird. 

We are still living together...

My girlfriend was insulted and belittle by her aunt who said her dad (my girlfriend's dad) had hit rock bottom (judt cause he's old and no one hires him anymore), that her mom was a dumb woman who worked for his stupid husband (she added he was 'finished') and that her brother (my mom and my aunt's brother) did the right thing sending the out of his home (my gf's parents had rented a small economic apartment from her uncle). Her uncle raised 100£ the rent so my gf's mom was forced to look for anothet apartment cause with her minimal wage she was not able to provide for all them and pay for a small apartment getting always mote expensive. Her brother's apartment, god. He knew they were in dire straits. As the aunt saw my girlfriend getting mad and crying while answering back she kept provoking her even more saying 'you come from a family full of stupid parents who are not able to provudd for you!'. How can you say that to a kid who was racially bullied since childhood and is poor??? How on earth?? She never apologized, nor to her or to her parents 

No, my ex-husband didn't cheat on me. I was the one who left him. He married his current wife, after we have been divorced 6 years. But I don't know why she would want him, he is almost 20 years older than she is. I know she is worth millions and I bet that is why he is with her. Yes she is pretty. I won't take that away from her.  I don't like that my son, who is 12, doesn't get any of the benefit of having a rich stepmother. --- They will not share their lifestyle with my son. -When my ex comes to pick our son up every other weekend, he drives his old truck. (he actually drives an Aston Martin any other time and she drives a 200K Mercedes Benz -When my son goes over to visit he sleeps in one of the guest rooms, while his little half brother has a dedicated bedroom that is decorated in Elmo  -They never take my son on trips or vacations with them (I follow her on instagram and I see the expensive vacations they go on) -My ex does pay court order child support and health insurance but they don't offer to help with other expenses, like school pictures, clothes, food, babysitter, etc.  I don't like that my son is having to feel left out. While they live like royalty. Her family is very wealthy and she is very sophisticated. Sometimes I think she thinks of my son as black ghetto trash. 

This girl copies everything I do. It's so frustrating. She's full tai... but because I am African American she says she's half black. I love wearing white eyeliner under my eyes, now she wears it too. It gets frustrating... I named my guitar a cute name... her and her stalking friends used my guitar's name for their new app they created. I blocked her and she still someone sees my social media... when I see her in person it's like she does what I do on social media. I should be flattered but I'm starting to really hate her. That's crazy.....

My ex-husband didn't cheat on me, or anything. Neither I or my ex-husband are wealthy. We are the typical working class people. When we bought our home, we bought a simple 3 bed 2 bathroom 1,500 square foot home in an upcoming suburb of Dallas. When he met his current wife he (in 2016) and I had been divorced for five years. He payed child support and he would come and pick our son up for his visitation, regularly.  His new wife is 20 years younger than my ex-husband. She didn't have any kids when they met, and he was working an average job, making about 60-70K a year.  Fast forward, after they got married, 2017, he has chosen not come see his son anymore. No phone calls, no nothing. He does still send his child support check. In 2018 she gave birth to a son, which my son has never met. I finally found out where they live, and it is a 12,000 square foot mansion in Dallas. The new, young wife, is a worth over 50 million dollars. My ex-husband still works at the same job he had when we got divorce, and he pay is still the same. However, one of my friends say that because my son deserves to live the same way his dad is living, I should be able to take him back to court and they will base child support on his new wife's income.  What are your thoughts? What would you do? Especially since our two lifestyle are drastically different, and my son hasn't even been invited over to see his new little brother?

Me and my fwb had plans last night. He ended up going silent so after it got to be so late, I just texted and said to forget it because I was going to bed. He whined and claimed he didn't get my reply. I tested it and told him then he could go ahead and still come over. Right away he said he would but couldn't because he been drinking. Natrually that mad me angry. I told him he never should have made plans if he was just going to drink all night instead. He got snippy with me and told me if I was so insistent on keeping plans he would come right over. I immediately said no way. I reminded him he had just told me he couldn't drive due to being drunk. He got an attitude and told me he wasn't drunk or taking no for an answer. I told him he certainly would take no for an answer because my door was staying locked. He finally agreed not to come over but got a nasty attitude with me. He called me some rude names and said it was my fault our plans got ruined because he had asked to come over several times and I said no. I reminded him that was only because he said he couldn't drive due to being drunk. He continued to be snippy with me then told me he was officially mad at me and was going to bed. Hasn't spoke to me since. So what the hell did I do wrong? How is it my fault? Why did he get mad at ME for telling him I wouldn't allow him to come over after drinking? He had chosen alcohol over me before, so that's why I got upset when he mentioned it as the reason for not following through with our plans. He wouldn't stop texting me after I said no. If I don't answer when he texts, he keeps doing it. I didn't want him to get mad at me for "ignoring" him, so I told him I was sticking with my no answer because he had said he was fit to drive.
