Okay this is my first time blogging and I am in need of some major help!
I am dating a single dad and he has a teenage daughter that had learned jealousy at a very young age..... Now my question is how do I deal with this, I myself do not understand it at all. I have never had a jealous bone in my body and I don't understand this at all. I do understand that his daughter comes first cause I know that my daughter comes first, but she has gone to the point where she try's everything in her power to do anything to break us up. It has gotten to the point where I moved out, so is there any advice that I can get PLEASE!
It is very much his issue to deal with. It's his daughter so he needs to be the one to reign her in or correct behavior. I trust you have approached him about the way his daughter treats you?
I have been in this same situation years ago! My advice to you would be to try to get a relationship going with her. Example, take her out to lunch, or plan something for just the two of you to do. Let her know that you are not a threat to take her Daddy away.
When this happened to me, I was 22, she was 15! It was an "ugly" situation for about 8 years, but we made it through it! Somehow. Its hard for the Dad to be stuck in the middle. How old is his daughter?
As of today, her and I have a beautiful relationship, but we both needed to grow up and mature before we could make things right.

Dating = Not Married = Not A Step-parent = Discuss your concerns with her father, and see if he can resolve her problem.
Sounds like you have very negative feelings about this young girl. She is a child. Stop analyzing her and feeling threatened and try something else--beginning with giving her space.
I suspect you moved in for financial reasons. Otherwise what's the point if he is just someone you are dating?

You can't do anything about it at all. Are you just dating this guy or are you living with him? How old is the daughter? Does she live with him? How is her jealousy manifested in her behavior? How does she treat you? Where does the daughter live?

The you and her dad are the problem, not the daughter.
