My GF and I have been together for 2 years and are both in grad school. We don’t have a lot and we live in a tiny space so we often go to our parent’s homes on weekends to get a break. My GF’s mother is all alone and is taking care of her niece (since she was born, really). They call her sister/daughter and there are movements to adopt her. My GF’s mother is dating a guy but it’s pretty recent and he’s not met the 6 year old. We’ll call the 6 year old “mouse.” Another thing is I will be proposing to my GF in Oct. We've talked about getting married so the only surprise will be when. But, I have to clear something up first that's really bugging me.
Anyway, we spend a lot of time at her mom’s house. My sister and mom like to run errands and I like to watch TV, so it’s perfect. More and more, mouse will stay behind and stay with me while they go out. At first she would sit silently in the corner and play a game or do some sort of craft. Then she became a bit more comfortable and would sit and watch something with me – I would then watch something more age appropriate. After that, she became a lot more hands-on – she’s always grabbing on to me, asking to be held (she’s 5, is that weird?) or hold my hand (again, is that normal?) if we’re out in public. If I'm laying on something she'd jump on top of me, either to annoy me or to hug/hold. She given me kisses on the cheek before and bitten me once, but I don't know what that was about.
This weekend we were at her mother’s house so they could do a fall clean-out. Great. I helped and my GF and her mom went to buy cleaning supplies and snacks. I stayed back to relax and passed out on a large couch downstairs. I wake up and there’s a blanket over part of my body and mouse is laying pressed up against my stomach (I was fully dressed) sound asleep in pajamas. I really didn’t know what to do. I kind of freaked out and got up. I didn’t say anything to GF because I didn’t know WHAT to say.
GF and her mom are around when mouse asks to be held/carried/hold hand and have never raised an issue. They never said anything about it is weird or mentioned it. They know mouse prefers to be at home when I'm there and noticed she got into her pajamas after they went out. I told them she took a nap but didn't mention the rest.
I'm really not sure what to say to my GF or how to talk about this. I'm not sure how I should approach this. I don't want them to think I'm a creep because nothing has ever gone on. This is bothering me. I want to say something to GF without her freaking out - she's not the type to freak out about things, but you know... it's an odd situation. Is this really messed up? Should I tell my GF or am I making a huge issue out of nothing?
tl;dr GF's little sister "mouse" is 5 and likes to hold hands, be carried and snuggled up to me when I was asleep. We were alone in a house and I don't want anyone to think ANYTHING went on so I want to tell GF but I'm really worried about how she'll take it. Need advice.
