Am I over thinking?

Hi

I am recently pregnant and live with my partner.
My partner has been separated for over 8 years now but is still married. If I’m honest there have been times previously where the situation occasionally bothers me but now I am almost obsessing about it constantly.

Is this hormonal and I’m over thinking the situation or is it normal to feel like totally uncomfortable with the situation?

Thanks

Does he say why he has not divorced her yet? Does he still see her?

Of course it's normal to be uncomfortable with it, you'd be mad not to! Why isn't he divorced?

Does he have a will? What would happen to you (and baby more importantly) if something were to happen to him. If he is still married would it automatically go to his wife?

Interested in this thread?

Completely normal, why haven’t they divorced yet? It definitely needs sorting out.

Yes. I'd be asking why he's not divorcing her. Who's his next of kin?

You're not overthinking that's very strange. Almost a decade and they're not divorced. Weird af.

Thanks for your reply’s. He does not have any contact with her at all.
He just says it’s because if financial reasons and I know he loves me but these added pregnancy hormones are doing strange things to my mind and making me question everything.

Does he have any idea of the financial implications to you and your child if he dies, if he's purely thinking of finances?

Thanks for your reply’s. I did know that it was strange behaviour but sometimes I guess you just need reassurance.
I will be sitting down with him this evening and explaining how it makes me feel and how he needs to sort out the situation for our baby’s future.

YANBU and you're putting yourself in an extremely worrying situation by having a baby with him. If he dies, you will get nothing.
