I am 46 years old and have met my soul mate. I am going to remarry and would like to marry on Valentines Day this year.
My problem is that my (will be18 years old next month) daughter doesn't want to move out of town with us. (45 min away from where we now live).
Should I go ahead and marry and make her go with me? OR should I let her live with her father?

wow, she is almost an adult , what are her plans for school? does she work? It is only 45min away ? I think you should have her go for a visit after the honeymoon , make sure she has a room . If you make her apart of your new life as much as possible you are in a win win situation , who knows what she is thinking. I wouldnt make her move ,but i would stress she is always welcome and you should make as much effort to visit and call as possible .

If I were you i would marry him anyway and move with my husbband as that is not far away at all and leave it up to her if she wants to move with you or not. She is old enuoogh to make this decision for herself and she can live with her dad or just get job and get her own apartment in a month. Do not let her hold you back from happiness and marriage. Love your daughter but do what makes you happy too.

Perhaps she could stay with Dad until school is over in June. That way, she wouldn't be changing schools during her senior year, and losing all her friends. 45 minutes away means you can still see her often. So, marry the guy, and have a great life.

Your Daughter is soon to be 18 and start a life of her own. I think you should go ahead with your plans and make yourself happy now. You will still be close enough to see her regularly. Making her move with you will only cause problems and resentment. You should each do what makes you happy.

Let her live with her father. At 18, she should be allowed to choose where she'd like to live. Go ahead and get married, your daughter will be just fine.

That's a tough one... I would let her stay with her father, she is probably in her last year in school, and has many things to consider, her friends, prom, etc. So unless you want her hating you for the rest of her life, get married and leave her stay....

Your daughter is old enough to decide where she wants to live. If moving makes you happy, go for it. If she wants to stay behind let her. Its time for you to live your life and let her become an adult. It'll be better for everyone. You do want special private time with your honey right?
