My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 months. We knew each-other beforehand, and thus things have gotten serious quickly. We spend a large majority of time together, and he has even broached the subject of moving in together, though I think its too soon for that.<p>
A month in, he introduced me to his good friend, Ill call her Sara, who is a single mother. The introduction was for his birthday party, where Sara did up a rather nice dinner with decorations and such. She was pretty nice and relaxed and I liked her right away. </p>
Fast forward to a few months later, and I feel like she resents me. She kind of ignores me when I'm over with him, and I even think she asks him not to bring me over when they hang out. To the point now where he will ask me the day before he sees her if its ok if he goes over there the next day and we don't hang out. I can never say no because we basically see each-other every day, so some time apart is good for us. I also want to be supportive of his friendships.</p>
He is basically one of her only friends, and even the godfather to her child. To the point that I feel he kind of takes the place of what a boyfriend generally would be.</p>
I know that my boyfriend doesn't feel any romantic feelings towards Sara, and that he cares for me. I just feel weird about him having a female friend who wants him to be so involved in her life. I mean, that's kind of my role, isn't it?</p>
The icing on the cake is that they are going on a day outing this weekend with her kids; while I wasn't overtly excluded, I also wasn't invited, either. Its bothering me, and I want to confront him about it. I will confront about the day trip, but should I just leave it at that or bring up my other feelings as well? Should I just leave it for now, and hope that things get better with time?</p>
