Think it depends on a lot of factors. If you have young children - there will be a degree of jealousy because the new spouse will be helping to raise your children. This is just unavoidable. Also - if the ex cheated and marries the "other person" that makes things even harder to accept. I do think my ex was troubled when I remarried since I did it before him and also because he was regretting ending the relationship. Does this apply to you? I was happy for him when he remarried because he married a family friend that my daughter liked. It also helped because my daughter was 16 when we divorced and in her twenties when he remarried - therefore no competition with step-mom. Sorry I couldn't help more - but there are just too many factors to consider to give you a pat answer.

I am waiting for the day when mine does remarry. Hopefully I will see some peace. So No, it should not be tough on me ... I'll probably give the "she" to be a pat on the back.

Its tough on the kids and it just pisses me off. Not that he remarried but because he spend time with his new wife and their kids but has kind of pushed or kids to the side and moved on. I understand the moving on but don't forget the kids. He does not call, write or even send Child support payments. I just over do for the kids at bdays and holidays and one day they will know who was there for them 100% of the time.

Every few years make a point of running into him. One year you will see this ugly, balding, not aging well thin older man. NOT the man you still have in your memories who Did You Wrong. You will even feel sorry for him. The love/anger dance will be broken.
Then make a point of throwing yourself into an all consuming passion.

You appear to be female so I can't answer from your side, but I lived through it,( barely) and will say if no fault of your own and you loved that person dearly, yes it is next to dying and takes a long time to get over it and hard to really ever trust again.
