Today, I found out my father's girlfriend is moving in with us. I didn't even know he had a girlfriend. FML

OP here. To clear some things up, my dad and mum divorced like 9 years ago. The fact that he has a girlfriend doesn't bother me at all. It is more the fact that I know this trough my brother that bothers me. I'm at my dorm for a month because I have to take exams (in Belgium it is normal to spend the weekends at home and the weekdays in your dorm, but now I am at my dorm for a month), so I haven't seen my father for quite some time. When I found out she is going to move in with us was a complete shock for me. I don't know her, nor does she now me, and my father hadn't even told me about her. He called me (after I called my grandma because I was very upset) and said not to worry. If she's moving in, it will be for November. By that time I will have met her (hopefully).

Very odd from your dad and his girlfriend. You'd think he'd want his kids to get to know about his girlfriend before she moves in, and you'd think that she'd want to know the kids before actually living with them. But eh, what do I know?

That's quite the surprise! I suggest sitting down with your father and talking with him about both your feelings. He is an adult and has the right to make his own decisions, but you also deserve to be included in them.

As a someone with her parents separated, I can say that its probably for good reasons. Though he could've definitely told you BEFORE they planned on having her move in, I can see that he probably did for good reasons. When my parents broke up and my father found a new boyfriend (who later became my stepfather) she didn't want to introduce us right away in case he and I became close and they broke up. It took her a while to have me finally meet him, and even then, it was sooner than she planned.

That was rather inconsiderate of your father to not tell you anything or have you meet her before deciding to let her move in. Sorry OP, I hope that you have a good opportunity to get to know her beforehand and get along well

This happened to me many years ago. While my parents were split up back when I was 12, my dad got a girlfriend and didn't tell me till she moved in. I knew who she was but I didn't know she was his girlfriend. I was extremely upset, too.

Wauw, da's inderdaad verschieten! Ik las dat je herexamens hebt, nog veel succes ermee! En dan heb je gelukkig nog even om er rustig over te babbelen en mekaar te leren kennen.

And what's so bad about this...you know there are worse things happening to people at this moment such as being bullied by their teachers
