Child sleeping in the same bed?

Question

I move to a new country to marry my beautiful Wife and become Daddy to her little girl....
Most nights they sleep together and i sleep on the Couch, I want what is best for both of them, as im the the one who has moved in to there life's, not them in to mine.... My Wife has asked me if im ok with it....and iv said yes its ok sweetie, what ever is best for you both....I do not want to come across as an ass hole by saying she should sleep in here own bed.... as they are both the most important people in my life and id do anything for them...

I should add iv been here 5 months
I guess i am just asking what other people that have taken on and stepped up to the role as dad....have gone thru....
and when i say most nights im talking 6/7 nights a week.
Look these two have been thru a lot, before they came into my life....iv see them both grow so much, over the months since iv been here.....I don't want to undo the growth and trust that im building, is giving them space for this good, or am i just a push over?

The best thing would be a gradual approach...
I would suggest setting up a bed in the room, then eventually you can share more intimate space. If not, this could become a set habit, and create more alienation, instead of fostering togetherness.   asa   www.thehumancode.net

If you have no desire to be intimate with your wife then leave things as they are, you say they have been through a lot so maybe it is best if you leave them to the bond they have. I guess the longer you are all together her daughter will be wanting her own space.
