i am almost fed up.

evidently bm was a goddess on a pedestal. she was a good cook, cleaned the house and the floors and walked on water among other things.

so what? i dont do that all the time.

finally, i told dh to find himself an old mistress to spent time with because obviously i was coming up short for him. i told him an old mistress is all he is able to find because what young woman the age of his daughters would want him.

i told him,"next time find a wife who cleans the floors, gives you beautiful children, takes care of the children, devotes herself to a domestic life of cleaning and cooking. Oh, yeah, i guess you were married to someone like that. too bad she slept around on you and left you."

sick of being compared to bm all the time.

Yeah, MIlL absolutely hated BM when she was married to her son, but is buddy buddy with her now in order to stay in contact with her not-really-grandson, Faux. Since then, I have been relegated to POS status. She'll always be " the mother of my graaaaandchiiiiiiiildren," whereas I will never bear a child with DH. Oh well.

DH is no longer speaking to her.

That's almost exactly word for word what happened to me. My MIL hated BM while they were married and for months afterward talked bad about her ALL the time. Then DH and I decided to move and suddenly I'm controlling and she's best friends with BM again because "that's the only way she can see the kids". We invited her over and over to come here for holidays or birthdays and she always said no but then complained that DH was keeping her away from her grandkids. She was even feeding BM information about us to try to help her take the kids away from DH in court. WTF?

agree her. mil knew bm cheated on dh when she went off with her lover to marry him, after breaking up his marriage. she took the kids all the way across the country leaving dh devastated. mil was sending bm all kinds of funny e-mails and notes.

i think these husbands need to get some perspective on who they are now married to and what they left.

cooking and cleaning and adultery

OR

intelligence, faithfulness and practicality, not to mention a good role model for his children

I know what you're saying...........BM's birthstone is in my MIL's Mother's ring because.......she'll always be the Mother of my grandchildren. Too bad she cheated on your son. Oh well.

Is DH comparing you negatively to his ex-wife? :jawdrop: You need to get out.

dh moans about this and that, so i conclude that his first wife must have been such an image of perfection.

This was exactly how I was treated by my son's father. His ex-wife was a school teacher. I was 20 years old when I met him. I wasn't old enough to have a teaching degree. She was better at everything, even morally a saint, from what he said. Nevermind that she was a teenaged slut, had a baby at 15 by God only knows who.

I am so-so-SO glad to be out of an emotionally abusive relationship. If they want their exes so bad, let them have them, or they can go waste someone else's time.
