My life has completely changed in just a few days

If your daughter gets on well with your best friend, I don't think there should be much of a difficulty in convincing her of your present situation. She may feel a little puzzled or worried that you're seing another man than her dad, especially after she's just coming back after being with her dad. If you're comfortable with your friend, I don't think you really need to stress out. Take things as they come.

poppoppop111 hi sounds like you are happy evenif stressed' and excited. as you have known your best friend for years you shouldnt worry about this at all.congratulations on your dating and new house and all.I am sure your daughter' will cope as she likes your best friend and soon be used to the new life. good luck and God bless you all.

Wow, falling in love with your best friend is so romantic. I understand your worries about your daughter. But if she and your best friend really get along very well, chances are she would take it calmly. And I assume from your post that you and her dad are not together anymore, and it looks like she is well aware of this. As long as you don't hide anything from her, chances are everything will be fine. When she goes home give her time to adjust. Don't make her accept everything all at once.

I totally understand how you feel,its like everything seems to happen so fast too. But as you've mentioned you've known this person for four years and have been seeing him everyday,I think that nothings wrong with that because you already know the person inside out. And to think that you allowed this to happen only means that you trust him. If that's the case there really aren't much problem that I see,the only thing is you have to explain to your daughter how thins go now and what happen between you and your bestfriend. I think you don't have to be scared of anything as you said that your daughter also bonds and likes your bestfriend. I don't see any problem with your daughter and your bestfriend in the future. Just always remeber that if you trust yourself to trust this person with your life and your daughter,then there's nothing to be afraid of. My advice is to tell your daughter about this and explain her briefly the changes that both you and your daughter is going to face. It's better to explain it to her while it's still early and still young because as a child grows up without any knowledge of what's going on,she might wonder around and ask for more complicated questions. I'm sure you don't want your daughter to be wondering arond so it's better to tell her now. Hope my advice somehow helped you.:)

There is nothing to worry about you guys know each other very well.. The man of your dreams was always disguised as a friend, it just couldn't be better.

Hi...I like the way how your life goes...so fast...just the way i wish my life to go...but for your 6 yr old baby girl it is lil difficult to understand this fast change...take time to explain to her...dont rush it up to her today itself...she will definitely love it if you make her understand that the change is gonna make your life and hers a happy one...

You said she loves your best friend. That's all that really matters. You're not moving in stranger she doesn't know, you're moving in with someone she knows and loves. Try not to be too stressed, try to enjoy this exciting time in your life. You can ask your daughter for help in choosing paint or bedspread for her new room, try to get her involved in some of the decision making process, and she will be more excited about the move too.

There are time in life, when situation changes so quickly. We may want it or not. But its good the changes are really nice for you. Hope your daughter can accept them so easily.

Wow, that really is quite fast, but if you think about it... you can say that you've been together for 4 years, so that's not that quick too. I guess you're most difficult challenge would be with regards to your daughter, but if she likes your bestfriend and they get along well, I think that it will be okay, you just have to explain to her how things are and why you have somebody in the house with you, you can be surprised at how children if explained carefully can understand situations.

change, even if expected, is still a shock when it comes. the faster the change, the scarier it gets. the first few days and weeks will be exciting. but gradually you will begin to see your companion in a different light. much more real. get ready for that. that will be the real challenge.

I understand your feeling but I don’t think you need scared or feel guity. Your daughter may be a big difficulty for you. However you may not fully understand the children in today. Last Sunday I went to a wedding party and the bride has a boy who is similar age with your daughter. The boy is very happy with the marriage. In fact he read a poet for the new couple. By the way I don’t think hiding from your daughter is not good idea. Open your mind and your new relationship to her maybe is good for her.

why don't you communicate with you daughter in advance ?
