I'm not sure really what to say about the first paragraphs.
However I know of a good response to your problem.
You can quote me if you like, I don't mind.
You can just morph your answer from my thoughts should you want.
She's obviously a lot younger than you, and what girls want is an understanding guy. If you've always been there for her, then she may feel a bit dependent on you. I know that she may say it, however she needs to think about her decisions before she makes them.
Her past, her memories, they cloud her judgment. You need to assure her that she doesn't really mean what she says because that's not how she'd want to spend her life being. You'll need to tell her about the commitment a marriage takes and that she may not be ready to take that on.
I'd slip in the "I know you feel that way but I don't" at this point..
Look it could be good if she understands, or you could say that you'd much rather keep things as they are. Too quick a change isn't good.

Sorry if that was a little lousy. Anyway, very much luck.
is it normal that my stepdaughter feels this way?
