When Mom gets a boyfriend
Truth be told, we probably would all like our parents to stay together and stay married forever. But in real life, that doesn't always happen. When parents break up, usually mom or dad will eventually start dating new people. That can be tough to get used to. Larissa is in that spot. Let's help!
Dear PLS,
“I'm really worried my mom's new boyfriend won’t
like me or that my mom will spend more time with him. I'm also afraid of living
in a house with him too.”
Larissa
You are definitely not alone. Step 1 is to talk to your mom and share your concerns. For sure, she doesn't want you to worry. And she will like knowing that the time she spends with you is so important to you. One good question for her is how serious their relationship is. It may be that she just likes having someone to spend time with and isn't thinking of getting serious. If they are more serious, she can let you know that, too.
What would make you more comfortable? Would you like to have dinner with the two of them so you could get to know each other better? He might be as nervous as you are.
Think

I know how u feel I have a step dad trust me ur moms boyfreid wil like you u could have a step dad one day! and you will be fine it will be cool! :)
My dad died a couple of years ago and I think my mom so gonna start dating again. I don't want her to because I fell like she will like him more than my dad! Then she will forget about my dad because she loves this new guy way better. I know I Gould be happy when and if my mom gets a boyfriend but I just miss my dad so much and don't want my mom to like anyone better.

I know how you feel. Its really scarey at first, but now, I promise it will get easier.
About your mum spending more time with her boyfriend than you, this may think this is happening at first, but it will go away! Remember that your mum always loves you no matter what, but you have to share her.
For living in the same house, it might not happen for a while. When it does, set privacy rules, and you could ask to set up a space that is strictly for you.
Good luck buttercup!!!
yah listin to anoymase she is so right just beur lovable self somebody please help me spell freack
awww poor girl... u should always talk to ur mom about it n tell her how u feel...she may consider ur thoughts n try to compromise something...im sure they will like u...jus think of it as someone u should automatically b comfortable with..im sure ur mom will give u space to take everything in so u wont feel so bad...hang in there,hope this helped.
The best of luck to you. Maybe you'll like him once u get to know him some more. =)

After reading this post, I wanted to cry! I am so sorry about the situation! It must be really tough for you! First off, you HAVE to talk to your mother! Of course she knows that a new step dad would be a very big deal for you! Talk to her about the situation and try to set some things straight like if their relationship is that serious!
If it is, try to get to know this man very well. Find out more about him. He is most likely worried about whether or not you will like him also!
I think that they are both interested in making sure that these changes arent too much for you
COMUNICATION IS KEY IN THIS SITUATION!!!
REMEMBER! GOD HAS A PLAN FOR EVERYONE! HE WILL HELP YOU!
GOD BLESS YOU!
Best regards,

I have kind of the same situation except it's my Dad. I hadn't seen him since my parents split. When I saw him again I didn't know he was married I didn't think I was going to like my stepmom, but once I got to know her I actually liked her! So the trick is get to know him! Hope this helps! God Bless you!<3
My name is larissa too!!! :)
Totally know how u feel! My parents got divorced and I was really nervous, too. But my step parents are cool and understanding. You just have to try to welcome them and they will welcome you! Good luck!!
I was in that spot once, and it wasn't as bad as I thought in the end.
If that guy is the right guy for your mom, he will accept you. He will love you. He will not make you uncomfortable. God Bless You All. GBYA!
my mom has a boy friend and i dont like him but thats just me i bet that unlike me you could talk 2 your mom about it
