I am a widow and have a Boyfriend for 7 years now , When my Granddaughter came out she refused to say Hi or go anywhere with me because he was there. I will add we have been to her high school and College graduation . She has always treated him coldly.
My Boyfriend was hurst because of this and now says if she comes out again he will leave me. I love them both what should do?

It might not be good advice, bluebelle but it's true nonetheless

Well it might not be true Baggs the grandaughter might have a very good reason for ignoring him perhaps she s seen him be mean to her gran or maybe he’s been sleazy to her we have no way of knowing ….if we knew both sides of the story we could give a more balanced view
It doesn’t say anything at all about the grandaughter ignoring Grans friends ! Plural ! just him so she may well have a reason
and by giving an ultimatum he’s showing a side most of us wouldn’t like

Your granddaughter has a perfect right not to care for the man in your life, but NOT the right to ignore him or be rude to him when she visits you.

Unfortunately, you have let this behaviour slide for 7 years, so I am not at all surprised that your friend has delivered an ultimatum.

What you do, is to think very seriously as to which of these two people means most to you, then act accordingly.

What was your granddaughter like when she first met your OH?

If she was alright at first, then he has hurt or upset her in some way!

If she disliked him from the start it's possible she felt pushed out by him and wanted to spend some time alone with you!
OR, she knew/knows something about him that would hurt you!

PLEASE spend some time alone with her and ASK her why she seems not to like him?
Don't be angry with her, ask for her honest!
