So, I have been with my husband for three years now and we have a one year old daughter. When he and I first got together, I fell in love with his daughter. She and I became best friends and I even said to him, "Wow, I had no idea when I first met you, that I would love this little girl so much." We cooked together, cuddled, watched movies, etc. She even said to me once, "I am so glad my dad got with you." And, defended me from her mom. Would tell me "I love you." It was great!
