Stepchildren still are family, even after divorce

Q: I’ve been dating a man for a little over a month.
His second marriage was the result of his getting the girl he was seeing pregnant. It lasted five very turbulent years. Their child is now 6 — and she also has three older children by another man.
My problem is that my boyfriend remains in contact with his three ex-stepchildren. In his words, “I divorced their mother, not them” and expects me to accept that those children are still his children for the rest of our lives.
His reasoning is that they’re his son’s siblings and they will always be a part of his life, as will his son’s mother. Is it fair to ask me to accept three former stepchildren? They really never were a family.
