I have a new partner, we have only been seeing each other for a few 3 months so I know it's still very early days. Partner has a 7 yo son to whom he is devoted, and he is still also very close to his ex wife. They have been apart for several years and I have no problem with them being friends - quite refreshing these days - but she asks him to do loads of stuff around the house and garden for her which he does, including decorating and gardening. She is apparently a bit 'delicate' and so he cooks her dinner sometimes and they go out as a family sometimes too. I find this quite hard as obviously I am not included. I am a bit woried that I am going to end up resenting her taking his time away from me in the future. I understand that this is the way they are, but isn't it about time after being divorced for 6 years that she accepted that he isn't there at he beck and call anymore like when they were married? Or am I being too harsh and should just accept it? I'm not normally a particularly jealous person but feel that I may become one if this carries on.
