Should I feel guilty or otherwise if my daughter doesn’t want to be around my bf?

My adult daughter lives out of town and only visits a few times each year. She dislikes my bf I’ve dated for several years. He doesn’t have much money but enough to make ends meet. However I’ve worked and saved all my life so I have a decent netegg for retirement coming up in a few years. Her father is deceased.

I don’t know exactly if she dislikes him because she feels he may take advantage of me and/or because he did commit a white collar crime 15 years ago. She says he is a loser and I’d be settling. I know he’s not perfect but he loves me a lot and has a nice family. I don’t plan on living with him unless and until he is financially settled.

How do I handle this? He bought her a gift and wanted to see her this week but she refuses.

@Guiltyfeeling,
I would suggest respect her space, keep it on a positive note. She may never change, but if she does it will not be because it was pushed on her.

Maybe you should look in the mirror and meet this poster:

And listen to your daughter. She knows your bf is looking to bleed you dry.

You keep asking the same question in different ways on different help web sites. Any reason why? People have left you reasonable suggestions with different solutions.

Yet you seem to be addicted to this problem and keep asking it.

It’s called “Perseveration” or OCD when one issue becomes the focus of one’s life.

This must be taking a lot of your energy, plus this has been going on for such a long time. What’s going on?

Or you are a BOT.
