My engagement ended due to his adult children(24&28) wrecking us. They are his daughters and are very attached to him. At first i thought it was sweet but then they started fighting to have him with them all the time and when i wanted to have dinner, they would make plans or our vacations, they would have to come and mess it up. Want to leave me behind so they can have daddy and me time. Really? The last straw was when they changed my wedding day which was in 3yrs to 7yrs and he said ok. SO wrong, i said i am not doing this and he walked out on me. Said they come first and i am gone! So i am a wreck and i have never heard from him since. Has anyone dealt with this issue? Its crazy

Perhaps you should of asked them to dinner with you and your partner to find out why they have a problem.
Clearly they do.

Sounds like you should have had some self respect and walked out a long time ago.

You cannot force a man to choose between you and his biological children. But he also should not let his daughters dictate his life for him, as well. The fact that he seemingly does should showcase to you his lack of strength and balance in avoiding to play the middle ground.
In a lot of ways, it could have been worse for you. You could have married him and become destined to being victimized to his kids overbearing jealousy as well as his weakness for them - because I can assure you - it all would have come at your emotional expense for many years (if not decades).
The fact that they pushed your engagement far more into the future would have been a first taste of that decade. Does it sound ideal, simply because you love a man who wouldn't fight hard enough to make all happy (other than looking out for only himself in the name of comfort)? I hope not.

I hate it when people say their kids come first. Number one, it's a captain obvious thing to say. Number two, it's just an excuse. Kids coming first is meant for urgent situations. Too many people use it as a reason to decide whether to stay home with the kids or go on a date. That isn't an urgent situation. If my kids were trying to dictate my dating/romantic life in such a measure, they'd be put in their place quickly.

Agreed. Especially when they are already over the age of 18 - they don't like it? Date someone of their own that they can approve of themselves instead of making someone elses business their own in a controlling manner.
And...

Peyton that is a very strange situation. I have 2 kids about the same age. Over the weekend my daughter was with her husband and kids and my son worked then went out with friends. Time with daddy is just weird at that age. I get going out for father's day or bdays but to exclude you is messed up. It is probably more of your man's fault than you realize. When my son wants out of going somewhere he always tells the person he is doing work for me. Im his scape goat.

Well said plus it also comes across that you'll Always come last no matter what.
I dated a guy briefly that so many times we'd have plans made & his grown kid would just decide to drop by and rather than telling her...Hey, can you come back tomorrow? Dad's got a date tonite ok? Nope he'd just cancel on me. I walked..
When I would just drive up on my parents unannounced like that & they were going somewhere they had no problem telling me they had plans but to catch them the next day. I'd understand & just say Oh ok, yeah I'll catch ya tomorrow...ya'll go have fun!

24 & 28 certainly aren't kids at all so it's obvious he wasn't
into you he just used his adult children as an excuse.
When you have young kids forget about dating because the kids
have to come first then when they become young adults then it's
you time.

Well reading that the problem was the guy not the daughters. if he allowed them to manipulate him, that's his fault.

If they were all adults they'd of talked to each other. Including the reasons why. Maybe they didn't think you were right for him. Maybe they don't like you or something you did and are acting like they are.

Keep tabs on him.
See if they're still that clingy after they start their own family.
See how much "daddy-time" they want, when daddy's old and can't take care of himself anymore.
Sit back and sip some delicious champagne at the beautiful irony of it all.
Lets see if daddy can pull that with them once they have kids and men.
My moms ex-boyfriend let his kids break them up and then a few years down the road he came crawling back because suddenly his kids weren't all about daddy since they already had control of daddy's money.

Why wait til three years to get married? U should have had a discussion with him, where he spends time with u then he spends time with his adult kids
then have one day where y'all all go out together, I don't see u mention that
u had a talked with him about his adult kids and u not gone win sense he had to choose now his kids sitting back laughing cause they got what they wanted

I remember all those profiles from women who stated "my kids come first." And then look at the kids are teenagers and not little kids. Move on to the next profile.
Years later I dated several women who were helicopter parents. They hover over their kids and try to run the kids lives. The kids are so dependent on mom that once an adult child called mom, who was out to dinner with me, and wanted to know where in the house they kept the toilet paper. Gotta be kidding.
Wedding is a foreign word for me. I wont be getting married again in this lifetime, but if I was, there would be a very short engagement, maybe a few weeks.

That excuse works when the children are minors and totally dependent and still growing up. Adult children of either sex should GET A JOB, MOVE OUT, get a place of their own and make their own rules and live their own lives. Mama and Daddy have a right to their own lives at that point and the kids ought to butt out, but this guy didn't have the spine of a jellyfish so he couldn't do that. You really wouldn't want to be married to a spineless wimp would you?
