Why did my daughter leave her deadbeat boyfriend?

You did not “run off” this emotional extortionist by telling her the truth about her deadbeat boyfriend.

They have starting to understand give-and-take in their romantic relationships, and they see that other people’s happiness can be as important as their own.

How long has my fiance been with his daughter?

I’ve heard of “Daddy’s girls,” but this guy sounds like a “Dotty Daughter’s Besotted Daddy,” with real bats in his drafty belfry.
