How do I deal with this?
I don't know how to feel about this situation I presently find myself in. My love and I have been together for a few months, we've met in person and the spark was just as amazing as it was over the internet when we first met. We've been up front and honest about everything. She has 3 kids with another woman (long story short - the woman cheated on her twice; twins the first time). They're remained good friends for the kids' sake. I've spoken to her children over the phone, we've Skyped as a family every now and then, and her twins constantly text me.
Today is their 12th Birthday, and we had planned for them to come over to my girlfriends house, who was going to cook for them, and bake them brownies - what the girls wanted to do, and they would open their birthday gifts that I sent them over the weekend. Their mother has decided she wants to overhaul the entire plan and take them to an arcade, and my girlfriend will be accompanying them.
I know that I shouldn't be worried but a part of me is jealous. I feel like the whole "family" getting together to go do something while the long distance girlfriend is 2,000 miles away fumbling with her feelings, trying not to lash out and be inconsiderate.
Am I overreacting? How would you feel if you were in my position?
