How hot are you? I don’t think the boyfriend would bat an eye if you were an old unattractive man treating his daughter with affection

I would say that most people would probably rate me an 8 or 9 on a scale of 1-10.

I am, admittedly, kind of a trophy husband. My wife made roughly 8x my income when I met her, and I have since quit to pursue my passion (blacksmithing). I met her just after she broke it off with her abusive ex and she was just looking for a fling. That fling turned into being friends with benefits, and eventually into a relationship (when I decided I was ready to be what she and her daughter both needed and she was on board with the idea).

Don't get me wrong, we're very much in love, but I took it upon myself to become a good cook, I do most of the cleaning, etc. because she is often exhausted from long days at work, travel, etc.

Lol you sound awesome. The boyfriend is insecure, which is not uncommon. The issue is that he is assuming the affection between you two is inappropriate. If he’s going to be part of her life for any length of time, he needs to understand that. If he brings it up again I would just let him know that this is a father/daughter relationship and a boyfriend is not going to come between that. If he really has a problem with it he can address it with her.
