Cannot understand new Husband
I have never blogged before, but now I feel I need to, so I may save my marriage. I met my husband back in November 2009 and we got married in June of this year. This is the second marriage for both of us. I have two teenage daughters, whereas he has 6 year old daughter living with his ex who visits every 2 months, and a son who is married whom he never had married his mom. He has really never had his two children live with him 24/7. He talks with his daughter at least 3-4 times a week, where he never talks to son due to an argument over changing college majors. My divorce ended a little over 5 years ago and his a couple of years ago. When we first decided to get married, we planned June as the month due to my brother coming in from California. We made all plans quickly, him moving from 3 hours away and packing things up, to remodeling a basement for my teenage daughters, and planning the wedding. The busy stuff has subsided, and now its time to really get to no one another. After our honeymoon, I had an injury in which now I have to have surgery on my back. I am out of work, waiting for insurance approval, while being on some heavy duty drugs. My husband has really grown close to my daughters, where they confide everything to him, and alot of times not to me. I feel this is due to me always being the discepline parent. I know this is a good thing, but what's happening is when my daughter has his trust and tells him something, of course, me being his wife he will tell me. But, in some instances he tells me not to tell the girls he told me because he wants to keep them on his good side. Alot of these issues stem from my ex-husband saying bad things about me to my previous friends and saying things to my daughters that are not necessary because its hurtful toward me. I lost it yesterday to my ex over the phone, my husband says he couldn't "fuckin" believe I would say something to him. My husband says he has lost his TRUST in me as his wife!! He says, "who do you expect me to confide in, another woman?"
He went on to say since he feels this way I should think about if I want to be married to him or not. He says that TRUST in relationship is of the utmost importance, I agree, like I told him - its not like a cheated with another man! He says its just as bad. What do I do? He left on business this morning, not even a goodbye, and he slept in a different bed last nite, HELP!!!!

How old are your daughter? I
How old are your daughter? I would be VERY concerned about this.
My daughters are 19 who is in
My daughters are 19 who is in college, and the other one is 17. I know he feels needed, so they have his trust. He feels that I compromised his trust in telling my ex-husband in what I heard about him saying things behind my back. My husband feels I should not deal with accusations.
Teens! Yes, be very
Teens! Yes, be very concerned! What is he talking about trust? The trust should be in the two of you doing the right thing by your daughters and for peace in your marriage... He's leaving you out of the picture and that's not right!
WOW.....this doesn't sound
WOW.....this doesn't sound good. I would sit my daughters down and have a heart to heart with them to find out exactly what is going on.

Hate to say it, but you really should have done this before you got married. I wish I had some advice, but it is hard to even put myself in your shoes here. I could not imagine getting married/live with someone that quick. But it did take me 10ish years to marry mine.
I do know I would not trust anyone around my kids after only knowing them that short of a time. I guess the only thing I could say is that DH needs to NOT be having these convos about you to your kids.
I have had some problems with
I have had some problems with my older daughter not really dealing with alot of reality issues. To where my younger daughter will always be my exes little girl. I feel like I am constantly defending my actions towards the girls. It's like I cannot do anything right, I feel like I handle everything the wrong way. My husband says i do, whereas before I was remarried, I felt my actions as a parent were fine. My daughters have told my husband things to make me look bad as a mom before we got married. Its very hard to talk to my very own daughters. I keep getting that I go way overboard or I have to let things rest. My oldest daughter s studying to be a pharmacist, where my youngest is going to college to pursue mathmatics. Very bright girls thanks to a mom who cares.
