I must say that I really enjoy reading all of your advice and I hope you will be able to offer some for my particular problem!
My father has been seeing a woman since he and my mother separated (about 2 years ago). While my sister and I made every effort to get along with this woman, she has behaved very coldly toward the both of us and even informed my sister that she did not like the Christmas present my sister had given her! Our Dad is considered to be a prominent member of our community and his girlfriend is extremely friendly toward all of his work associates and other people she deems "important", but has made very little effort with my sister and me. I am getting married in two months and have been grappling with the problem of where to seat this woman at both our wedding ceremony and reception. I told my father that she will not be able to sit with him at either venue, but that I would make arrangements to ensure she was seated with his siblings and other relatives (whom she knows). My father was not impressed with this and it has led to some terse conversations. I should note that he is contributing financially to this wedding, but so is my mother and I know she would not be comfortable having this woman sitting at the family table or in the front row of our ceremony. I wanted to check with you to see if I am being reasonable about this or if I should appease my father and allow them to sit together? Thank you very much and I look forward to your response.
