This Weeks Feature Question:

So I (40M) have a daughter (21F) who started dating her partner (30F) about a month ago. She called me to tell me about this new encounter when they went on her first date. Her mother has not been in the picture since she was an infant, so me and my daughter are very close, and now that she is am adult, I can proudly say we have a great bond. She has always been hard working and after graduating high school, she decided to start working before choosing a college. About 6 months ago she moved out on her own.

About a year ago I met this woman in a bar, we had a few drinks and we ended up at her place. Things went well and after a few dates I decided to lay down what I wanted in a relationship. We discussed it and she wanted to have a kid, but I already had the pleasure of raising my daughter, and was unwilling to do it again. So we decided to break it off. I never told my daughter because it wasn't anything serious. Well, a month ago I got a call from my daughter telling me she went on an amazing date with a woman who she instantly connected with. I was happy for her, and wished her the best with future encounters. Well, after a few weeks and several dates, they decided to make it official. So my daughter changed her relationship status on FB and posted a picture of her and my ex. The wave of shock that rushed over me was to say the least, paralysing. I didn't know what to do so I called my daughter and invited her over alone to talk.

Well, we sat down on the couch and I explained everything. As you would expect, she did not take it well at all. Especially because she and my ex planned on inviting me to a meal later in the week which would have been horribly awkward. My daughter left shortly after and apparently talked to her GF. Once my daughter showed my ex a picture of me, apparently she knew right away and expectedly, they ended the relationship. Now my daughter is a lot more distant from me and I assume it's because she needs the space, but how are we supposed to go back to normal after this? I doubt my daughter will look at me the same considering we could barley maintain eye contact after I broke the news to her.

How do we move past this and repair our relationship?
