I am sitting here right now and saw that my fiance just rec'd a text from his 22y/o stepdaughter and he knows i saw the text come through yet he doesnt say a word to me about it or the responses he sent or any part of the conversation! do i not even exist?

Do you tell him about every text you receive? Do you tell him how you're responding?

Why do you feel he needs to automatically share this information with you?

If you're curious, ask. Simple as that. It's what I do when H hears from the skid. I ask, is everything okay? Does she need something?

Most of the time she's checking in with him. When she wants or needs something.....her text usually starts off with "Can I ask you a question?"

The secretive talks and phones calls used to bug me too. Once I became more rational I realized it is best I not hear about it and all the drama.

It really is healthier to not know everything.

Take a deep breath and try to put steps out of your mind. It takes a long time, but eventually they just won't matter anymore.
