Maybe the problem is your relationship itself - even an eleven-year-old knows the difference between marriage and shacking up together. Why should she have a relationship with someone who hasn't commited to her family through marriage? He may not be permanent - he's just a boyfriend, he's not a dad or even a step-dad. Until there's commitment in your relationship, your daughter has no reason to put herself into building a relationship with this guy. He's not commited - why should she be?
