I have been dating a wonderful man for the past 6 months. We both have a child from a previous relationship. His daughter has been through a traumatic experience and naturally he has been spending more time with her. I have no problem with that but I feel that I am being shut out of his life. I want to be there for him, I want him to know that I still love him the same, I want to spend time with him. What can I do about this without sounding selfish?
Does anyone have any advice?

I don't think you sound selfish, Sarah -- but how long have you felt that he has been "shutting you out of his life"? Are we talking a month or two here?
Give him time... apparently something huge has happened here (you don't mention what it was), all you can do is phone him and let him know that you're here for him and his children... however understand that being a parent in life has to come first.

Talk to him today Sarah, plain & simple.
If he doesn't know how you feel then how can he begin to make a bad situation better?
You don't sound selfish at all, you sound supportive. Tell him you're there for him & his daughter always, tell him what you've just told us...
