Seriously, kid, the stones on you are ginormous. I had a dad. He died. I didn't even bring my husband of several years around my dad during the time before his death. Why? Because these moments weren't for my husband, they were for my dad, my sisters and me. Because my husband, no matter how fabulous and wonderful, wasn't the one who mattered in that equation. And in your girlfriend's step-father's equation, you matter even less.
If these are the moments leading up to his death, should he waste them on you? Should he waste energy and breath and emotional connection on the annoying guy who happens to have been dating his step-daughter for 1/16 the time of the last boyfriend? How about this idea instead: How about he spends his time and energy on the people he actually loves, whom he'll miss, who will miss him? Please read Cary's advice. Please get a clue and grow up. Or if you can't do that, tell your girlfriend you need her to find her dying step-father so he'll be nice to you. Then let her dump your ass.
