Just that, really. Does anyone else feel this too, or am I a crazy and jealous harpy? I think I might be, sorry - I'm pregnant and a bit weepy.
Despite my user name, she is actually a nice lady. She doesn't in any way flirt with him or do anything in appropriate - I just feel really unsettled by her being around at social events every so often, as they still have mutual friends. Whilst obviously I can't change anything that happened before we met, I know that she hurt him badly and that he thought that he might have married her - it makes me feel as though I may have bèen second choice and generally pretty inadequate. She is beautiful and successful and all the rest of it, but also, she will always be remembered as the partner he had while he was young and carefree. He has not watched her fish toddler poo out of the bath with a plastic crab or cry with tiredness at 3am with a non-sleeping baby and he has not seen her body change with pregnancy, etc -I just can't compete. Does anyone else have an equivalent and does it still bother you also? I think I probably just can't see the wood for the pregnancy hormones here, right?

To feel so unsettled by DH's "one that got away"?
