That's concerning about your workplace. Humiliating employees is not okay :-( And I'm so sorry you're working so many hours and so exhausted now, too.
I'm really glad to hear that things have generally been better with R. It definitely sounds, though, like he's moving faster than you're comfortable with. Have you tried to tell him you want to take things a bit slower? And has his son explained what his issues are with you, because while it's normal for a kid to dislike a parent's new partner, that's definitely something that ought to be addressed before any talk of you moving in with R. I mean, R has a right to have a partner, and you and R deserve happiness, and his son should not dictate the course of that. But his son's discomfort should not be ignored, either; it should be addressed appropriately, which is 99% R's responsibility.
