Im due to get married very soon, have been engaged for 2 years. Its both our second marriages. Oh no children from his first,he was young, she cheated and left him after 7 years of marriage. Mine, 1 child from first marriage, he cheated and left me.
However now weve decided to actually tie the knot, im left feeling it being his second marriage is making me second best or inferior. The number of times ive heard "its different second time around....... " "you dont want anything big as youve done it before" "no gift list as its different second time around...."
it leaves you with some sort of inferiority complex that some how people dont see it as important this time...... i think the problem is everyone loved his ex wife..... they had been together "forever" first love etc..... and some how i dont match up even though she left by cheating and he never had children with her and weve had a child together.....
am i being daft? What do i do? Do i walk down the aisle feeling im in someones shadow?
