Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Ohhh, so now he's pulling the guilt card-

like how can yu imagine wanting to go out of town with your friends, unless it centered around being angry and punishing him...
And, let's see, yu guys have been together for how long and yur not familiar with HIS girls? Whose fault would that be?
Why don't you ask him why,
Why don't you ask him why, after 5 years, are you not "familiar" with "his" girls? Is that your fault? No, I think its probably his!

How About
Responding that they're not his girls.
For one he shouldn't be going unless both of you attend, and he should have told them right off the bat, when they invite him its automatic for you. There's been too many deal breakers with this guy. Perhaps you'll feel better when you return, and can approach him about going your separate ways. And I don't see anything positive with this guy, Do you think he ever intended to marry you? He's brainwashed you into forfilling his needs without anything in return. You say your engaged, when your engaged that means a date has been set. Has that been done? How about telling him all of this stuff, and fine if he chooses to just look at you then give him a move out date. He can move in with his ex's kids since he values them over you.
Just go have
FUN and forget about him. He's just jealous because he has to sit through a long and very boring graduation while you get to go out of town to have some fun!
Oh pleeeease
what an ass! Go, and have a great time!
Are you seriously planning
Are you seriously planning to get married with kind of situation?
tell him it has nothing
to do with him and his - that you are doing this for...YOU
you might have to draw him a picture.

I say
go have fun EVERY time he's with his pretend daughters. Why should you stay home and revolve around him? He's surely not revolving around you.
I hate to say this, but he
I hate to say this, but he obviously considers these girls that he raised since they were young as his own daughters...and while I still don't understand why you have had no contact with them for 5 years and he has been involved in their lives the whole time, it obviously is not going to change. He's not going to just up & walk out of their lives after 15 years of being in them, I think he's made that clear. So you have to decide if you want to be with him & get to know these girls or walk away and not marry him. And I think that decision is a very tough one! Maybe they are nice girls & you will like them if given the chance to know them, or maybe they would make your life hell...although it sounds like thats whats going on now & you don't even know them! I would say its his fault though for not including you. I feel for you! Do you still want to marry this man or are you ready to walk?
