I've been in the position of your daughter's "new" partner. DH and I have now been married for 18 years but were both long divorced when we met.
My kids were accepting that I should have a new life but DH's two, who were older than mine (he has a son who was then 21 and his daughter was 25) and had had ten years to get used to the fact that their mother had left for someone else, were resentful and horrible to me. His daughter told me to "just go away" and the night before our wedding, his son tried very hard to talk DH out of it.
18 years down the line, step-daughter is divorced with a daughter of her own and has decided she likes me, though I think that's because she's realised that her dad will need someone to look after him as he ages and she doesn't want the job! She also now tries to inflict herself on my kids who, after being treated very rudely by DH's offspring, have just got on with their lives and don't want to know - though they'd never be rude.
Step-son also divorced with a very messed-up child, is civil but that's about it.
I also have to put up with DH's ex wife at all of their family gatherings. This would be ok but she is also very twisted in her thinking and seems to resent the fact that DH and I have made a go of it (she's on her fourth marriage and seems to have finally run out of steam with men, even though she's a long way from happy) and totally ignores me and refuses to speak to me. I have done nothing to cause this, so after all these years of putting up with it, I have given up on trying to be pleasant to her.
DH insists on dragging me to these events because he wants to see his grandchildren and "wants me with him".
After one Christmas a couple of years ago when both my kids were with in-laws, I had to spend it with DH's family, including the ex, which was absolutely miserable for me, I've told him that's where I draw the line and I will not do it again!
Am I being unreasonable?
I don't think so but I do wish your daughter's new partner better luck, NannyOne.
For what it's worth, if I were your daughter or her new partner, I'd do what you'd prefer and just continue as things are. Everything changes with time.
