    My boyfriiend and I live together and have been discussing marriage, what could be the dealbreaker is that he has a 9 year old son who stays with us every other weekend and when he is here we (the adults) are not allowed to kiss or show affection towards each other because the chilld says so and my boyfriend wants to respect his wishes. The child doesn’t have many rules and runs the house when he is here. I am beginning to dread the weekends thathe visits. We are both in our late 40’s and my children are grown and weren’t allowed to behave this way.

    You’ve got a deal breaker on your hands, for sure! 😕 Unfortunately, the nine year old is his child and if he’s not willing to discipline or set boundaries with this child, he’s in for a bumpy ride, and sadly, so is the child. I trust you’ve already discussed this with your boyfriend and he’s decided not to change his parenting, so I think the best thing for you to do is exit gracefully.
