My issue is not necessarily the parents at this point but the wife's ex-boyfriend from high school. I am a step-dad. She has a child from a previous marriage but X from high school will not get the hint that she is not coming back to him. In the twenty years since graduating he moved on to someone else, married and had kids and so did she. they both got divorced around the same time unbeknownst to each other. they ended up moving to the same apartment complex. she has never led him to believe she was anything other than his friend. he made a couple of moves and she shut it down.
