Idt I thought this out

My husband of over 7months has a 5 year old from a previous relationship. I hate that but I love him enough to accept him and his daughter and the situation he’s in.

Maybe I’m insecure but one of my students keeps talking about how she hates her stepmom and wants to make her mom and da dad get back together. It makes me so worried and sad hearing that. Especially seeing the happiness in her face as she says she wants her biological parents to get back together....

My stepdaughter today told me that she wished the parents (biological) that gave birth to her are still together. She said that’s how it’s supposed to be. I told her things happen and they’re unfortunately not together anymore and she proceeded to tell me that she still wished her parents (she named them by name) are together. When I asked what about me and her biological mothers bf, she said that him and I can get together. I told her I don’t think so and she said but he’s a great guy 😢😢😢😢

I’m so sad and honestly feel like marrying my husband may have been something I didn’t think of throughly. Him and I don’t have kids and I honestly believe that we could get a divorce and he can focus on his “family” (ex and daughter). I hate this feeling and don’t know what to do. Please help me, I don’t feel like my relationship is going to work at all.

Everyone around me seems to have this hate towards their step mothers and want to bring their biological parents back together

UPDATE: guys I love my stepdaughter. I never called her step daughter and have always referred to her as my daughter and she refers to me as “mom” despite her biological mother yelling at her about it. I told her she could refer to me as “Mama (my name)” so her bio mother does not cry and get mad and she yelled no because she likes the name mom for me.

My daughter did however correct me many times and say “step daughter” (most likely because her bio mother corrected her about hat). I explained to her that I love her so much that I see her as my daughter not step daughter and she told me we would not get angry if I called her step daughter.

We have a good relationship. We go out on dates every now and then. She likes to match outfits with me and loves to borrow my shoes and always wants the exact same ones. She’s almost 6. She always gives me her input about my cloths lol like she’ll say u should wear these shoes with this outfit and no u shouldn’t wear this dress because your boobs are showing too much. It’s the cutest. I have never thought our relationship was bad at all.

I don’t know how I can change her mind about how she thinks. I tried to explain to her that her bio parents have moved on and are not good for each other but I think that only confused her. Please help me
