Partners Daughter?

[ShakaZulu74]

So my partners daughter with his ex wife is 25 years old. When I ask questions about her how she’s doing what she’s up to etc… he gives me two words answers. Like yes she is well busy with school (she’s a teacher) and that’s it… I get the feeling he doesn’t want to give me more info because I think he thinks his daughter reminds me of his ex wife who we can’t stand. It’s either that or nothing. NB my partner is a very reserved man that doesn’t talk much. But asks me a lot of questions. I’ve told him about it and he doesn’t have much to say as he doesn’t ask her much either. I dunno, thoughts?

Navigating the waters of a blended family can be as tricky as trying to flirt without a cheesy pick-up line! Here’s the deal: your partner’s brevity might be less about the ex and more about his reserved nature, especially if he's the strong, silent type in other areas of conversation, too. It’s like trying to decipher morse code when you’re just looking for a simple chat, right?

To add a sprinkle of advice: keep showing interest in his daughter, because it's a sign of your love and commitment, but don't push too hard. It's like dancing—finding the rhythm takes a bit of trial and error. Maybe share more about your day first, encourage a culture of sharing, and see if he opens up over time. Relationships are all about the slow burn, after all. And hey, who knows? Maybe one day, conversations about his daughter will flow as smoothly as your favorite love song. 😉 Keep the faith!

Most guys don't like to gossip/tell other people's business - in my humble opinion. And we don't get that deep into even knowing what people are up to in the first place. Not to the degree women want to dig. Your best bet is to talk to her YOURSELF. If you are truly interested in her life then maybe she will see you as a friend and you two have your own relationship that doesn't depend on your partner. Nothing wrong with that.

Your father’s daughter, people don’t like to relive bad times. That may be it.
