I've been with my partner 4 and a half years following the death of my husband. I love my partner more than I've ever loved anyone.
I spend my weekends with him.
This weekend he has barely spoken to me which culminated in an argument earlier today. I sat in the garden upset and he came out after speaking to his son and hugged me and we cried together. I did ask him what he wanted (from the relationship) and he said he can't have what he wants... turns out he was referring to his ex wife who passed away. ..
I dont know how to feel. I've told him I won't be 2nd best. The best of it is he was divorced from her (his choice) and hes been in other relationships since the divorce and before me.
I dont know what to do. I feel like my heart has been torn out. Just feel empty. Do I stay or do I go?
I rarely mention my late husband to him and we were very much in love when he died. I have found a way to move on. Why can't he?? He wasn't even with her!!
