i'm scared
I need advice and I’m at my wits end. Please Help. Both my husband and I working professionals. We are faithful, logical, and for all known accounts we love each other very much. It is my first marriage and it is his second with an eighteen yr old and 20 yr old. I’m 43 and he is 38. We have been happily married for 8 yrs now with only one sore spot in our marriage, his ex wife. First let me say, I am not a jealous person, i hate drama with a passion, and until 3 wks ago I had all the faith i could ever have in my husband. his ex-wife is bipolar, narcissistic, VERY CONTROLLING and i believe, as well as many others, borderline psychotic. Very very very drama driven and sadly his biological child has also turned into a drama queen. I understand that she is crazy and that he is still young and finding his way, so PLEASE don’t get me wrong. I have gone above and beyond the wife duties by "befriending" her, shopping, girl chat, chatting about our days etc. with none of the normal bs that goes with exwife/new wife.(i mean seriously their divorce was 19 yrs ago) ok so by now you are asking so whats the problem. well did i mention she is crazy and as crazy always will do, she went down crazy street dragging me kicking and screaming. since then she has been making INSANE demands against me and my husband and his family. the problem from all this lies in the child who is completely brain washed and poisoned by this woman and has picked up her narcissistic views of life. she has always used the children as a weapon pulling out all the stops. my husband has had to kiss this woman’s ass for 19 yrs and hates her but he is VERY good at sticking his head in the sand and also hiding his true feelings. what all this boils down to is, if the bm is not happy then child is not happy and refuses to have a relationship with his father.(recently my husband simply hung up the phone on bm cuz she was having a fit and child refused to speak with his dad for 3 wks b/c "he disrepected his mom when he hung the phone") my husband and i have had the "talk" and i was informed that if i want A, and she wants B, he will choose B, in order to keep the child happy. i am floored!! im losing faith and trust in my husband. My marriage is the most important thing to me and i dont want to lose it. the same can be said of my husband love for his child. i have always understood it would be race for first in my husband heart with the child (as it should be)but now im being told i'm actually placing third. I can't see around this. so please if anyone can offer any words of advice please post. besides a felony (mmmmmmm) im willing to do anything except be second fiddle to this nutbag. thanks in advance

How old are his children?
How old are his children?
I for one would stop doing
I for one would stop doing all the things that a wife does. I wouldn't make him dinner, clean the house, clean his clothes any of it. When asked why I would tell him that since he didnt want to treat me like his wife Im not going to act like his wife. He could have his favorite girl (ex) come over and do that shit for him.
You say you’re scared? I
You say you’re scared? I wouldn’t be scared- Well, I‘d be mad as hell over this if I were you!
Let’s re-cap:
*Your ex has been divorced from this woman for over 19 YEARS!
*Their “kids” are ADULTS- not little kids- they are 19 and 20 for goodness sake.
*You and DH have been married for 8 YEARS, and after giving your life to this man for 8 long years, he is ready to place your feelings in THIRD- behind his kids? NO. Behind his EX-WIFE?! Double NO.
*They are all playing you for a major sucker- not to mention you have done something FEW of us would EVER done in befriending the crazy EX! You are a candidate for friggin SAINTHOOD, and now your DH has the NERVE to treat you like this? What disrespect!
Honey, I would be mad as HELL! And I am SO SORRY he is putting you through this.
