I'll try to make it short.

My girlfriends mother died around 5 years ago. Her dad dated someone at work with a son. My girlfriend and the son started dating. I come in and start dating girlfriend. I'm uncomfortable around the ex-boyfriend after knowing what they did in the past. Since his mom is getting married to her dad there have been constant conflicts over the past 2 years with her dad mainly hating me for causing too much family drama. As in if he shows up I leave, can't go out to dinner with them at the same time, etc. My girlfriend is getting most of the problems because they are all mad at her for my behavior.

Is there any way around this little predicament? I've already thought of swallowing my pride and just giving in, but I hate this kid, and I've been holding out for over 2 years, but with the marriage coming up, things are bound to get worse.

Any ideas?

TLDR?

Wait, what did you do? I don't see why her dad would dislike you. Did she cheat on him? You didn't make that clear.

If you want her to be your gf then you need to put the past in the past. What's the big deal anyway? Everyone has a past...you have to trust your gf.:|

stop being a baby about it. she's with you now and that's what matters, who cares if she dated the other guy before? learn to be more mature about the situation and stop causing problems for her and her family.

Interesting situation, either way it's natural for you not to like the guy. But it looks like you're going to have to deal with it, that is if you are serious about the relationship.

Yeah its one thing to stop causing drama, but when I have to go out to eat with this kid, he's hanging around her house when they have dinner, its like I'm forced to be his buddy. Even if they didn't know each other I still wouldn't like this guy. I'm guessing in the end I'll end up doing your suggestions of dealing with it :evil:.

Nobody likes every member of their significant other's family...part of growing up is learning how to be fake :P

why does he bother you so much? why wouldn't you like him even if she didn't date him? do you not trust your girlfriend? do you hate every single guy she talks to? and the situation is out of her hands really, so just relax about it, you don't have to be his buddy. you just have to accept that he's going to be around whether you like it or not. doesn't mean you have to be friendly with him, but don't be mean to him either.

OK WTF. Your gfs dad marries a women whose son was your gfs bf. And now that the women and the dad are married, then that makes the ex bf the step brother of the gir who he once dated. Am i right? So in this case, the only one whose going to cause drama is the son who had a relationship with his now step sister... Sounds like Nip-Tuck. My head hurts.. :x But yeah, just learn to be friends with the guy, dont be a stick in the mud. There should be a sort of comraderie with you and the brother since you guys have similiar taste in women and now that hes your gf's bro.
