In many ways I am so lucky with his ex...she is very accomodating and nice to me. They have a good relationship which actually makes my life easier and shows he is a good egg as he never slags her off. Their relationship ended as she cheated on him....why does this bother me so much? I mean if she hadn't cheated then I wouldn't be with him.
She is now pregnant with her second with the other man and they live together ...my dp is not interested in her like that so she is no threat.
I think i get jealous over small things...his late mum found it hard when he split up with the ex and found it hard to accept me although apparently she was very fond of me in the end. I think I just felt bad as I was not the woman who cheated but i was treated withan air of suspicion...perhaps understandably.
I think it is great that dp has such a great relationship with his ex for the sake of his child. I know that if someone cheated on me I would not be so gracious.
I think at the weekend I felt sad as she had to clear some of her stuff put of his old house with him...i needed the time to do other stuff anyway but I still felt a pang that they were spending time together even if it was doing a necessary house clearance. She had to sort through her precious things before they got sent to the dump!
He is wonderful in every way and I love him but I still get jealous. It's my worse trait.
