Flat out, I'll be honest and say I'm starting to feel threatened in my new marriage. My husband & his ex-wife have been divorced 7 years. From all accounts, it was a messy break-up with her moving several states away to follow a new boyfriend who she later had her 2nd child with. At the time my husband & I met 2 years ago, he told me that he was organizing his finances & job to move to be closer to his son. When we decided to get married, we both agreed that we were ready to make this move together, because I too feel it is difficult to be a long-distance parent. Now a year later & much more time passed in-person with my new stepson, his mother and her family, I find myself in this awkward situation of an ex-wife who seems to regret her choice from 7 years ago and a stepson who constantly seems to be passing along flirtatious comments to my husband on behalf of his mother. My husband doesn't act flattered, but he also hasn't put an end to it. I feel slighted & insecure.
