my boyfrend is more affectionate to his 7 yr old daughter than he is to me is this normal? I dont have kids?

Answer 1

If you have no children you cannot possibly understand. It is nothing against you and I am sure he loves you dearly. But there is nothing in this world like loving a child.

Answer 2

Since you're not the child's mother, this could be complicated. I am a firm believer that we should put our spouses ahead of our kids -- but you and he are not married. Also remember that the affection he shows to his 7 year old daughter is going to be a different type of affection than he shows you.
If your relationship with you bf is moving in the direction of marriage though and you feel you do not get enough affection you may have to reconsider the relationship.

Answer 3

If you are feeling left-out and rejected, think about your relationship and see if you want to continue it. His daughter will always come before you for the rest of the time you are together. It is okay if it is not something you want to deal with, just get out before his daughter forms a bond with you if you are going. I am afraid it is normal and will continue. Sorry.

Answer 4

Depends on how affectionate...as far as normal. How long of a boyfriend? Parents are always going to be closer to their children. She's 7, she needs her dad's attention.

You may not have kids but you had parents...how were they to you?

Answer 5

hello
first of i wan tot say that i understand what he is doing
i say that because i have a daughter myself
the last thing you need to be doing is getting in the way of
him and his child
do not be mad that he shows his child more affectionate
then you and why i say that because number one a child needs that from her father because she needs to know that her father is her protector
when you have a child that becomes you main focus
sometimes that makes a person feel loved knowing that all they have is they child and they know
know matter how many times he has been hurt he knows that he has is child that wouldn't
you have to have that a close bun to that child to cause if not then that may give him thoughts that if you cant love in accept his child like she is yours then that will be the end of you all and that's not what you wan
so be affectionate with her to
to let him know that you do care and your trying to understand
and it would also help to talk to him how you feel
because you want to become apart in his life in to his child and he needs to allow that so
talk to him because honest and trust is the key

Answer 6

Well sounds like someone is jealous of a 7 year old. He gives her more affection because she is his daughter and your just a gf. But if you and him ever get married he will giove you the same affection he gives her to you, too. But why not take him to the bedroom give him some and ask him" WHere's my affection?"

Answer 7

Surely you are not saying you are jealous of a 7 year old child? IF so, shame on you! You do not deserve this man. IF you are asking how to get him to be more romantic and affectionate with you, surely you can figure out how to do that...come on...you are an adult. Perhaps he is NOT romantic...if this is going to bother you, move on now..stop wasting your time and his. And please, if you are moving one, do not let the little girl become attached to you.

Answer 8

Yes it's normal and good for him to love his daughter, but you must realize it is nothing to be jealous of. It's a different kind of love, she's part of him.

Answer 9

She has been with him for 7 years.

You have been with him for only 1-3 years.

If he is good in every other way, then he is OK.

Answer 10

Yes, this is normal.
I don't know anyone who understands unconditional love more than a parent. Our love for our partners is completely different than the love we have for our children. Be patient, understanding, and respect the bond they have.
