Of course its going to be hard to deal with mom having a boyfriend. Thats natural. So is being a little jealous of the guy.

I can't believe some of the answers you have gotten.
You treat this man, who cares about your mom, as you would anyone else. He didn't make your dad leave and he probably won't come in and start bossing you around. Unless he is doing that now, he probably won't.

What you are afraid of is change. You don't want to share mom with some guy. One day though you will be out on your own. Your mom has to have a life of her own now.

This guy shouldn't be considered a dad replacement. I'm sure he doesn't want to be that either. Mom likes him. He may make a good friend at least. Give the guy a chance. :)

Okay, maybe my answer isn't the best but it's from the same prospective as you are seeing it from. Firstly, let this guy know he is only going to get very limited respect from you. (Cold looks work great) I wouldn't go as far as to say anything unless it was action provoked. If he looks at you STARE directy in the face... Don't dis-respect him, but don't respect him either. Then it will just be as you two are equals.

I know it was a little different (yet real)

give this guy a chance. he most likely is genuinely interested in your mother and wouldn't want to overstep any boundaries. think of your mom, she needs companionship just like anyone else. if time goes by and this guy really does start to boss you around, talk to your mother about it. and maybe you will end up really liking him; i have a stepmother that i was unsure of at first but now we are really close. good luck. :)
