Hi.
So I'm 8 months in and now in a relationship with a beautiful woman 4 years my junior - I'm 54.
All was going well and I've met the kids a few times. She has 3...21 years, 11 and 8. The 21 year old seemed to like me at first however I've done a few things to help her out and received no thanks. The 8 year old is no problem at all. The 11 year old, however, seems to really dislike me. He's rude to me, doesn't listen to anything I say and his behaviour deteriorates every time I see him. There are no pleasant interactions between us. And I swear this is not on my part.
Is there any future in this or should I call it a day. I am in love with my partner but I don't want to be in her sons life if he dislikes me. And for my own sanity I don't want him trying to destroy our relationship for however long. I could take a step back from the kids and simply concentrate on "us". However I've been alone for so many years I would like to settle down with her. But is that possible? For example if we had a place together the lions share of any money would be mine and I would resent this eventually with him being how he is.
