I've mentioned before in my blog that my boyfriend's family still acts like his ex is still his wife. Well, when bf was on the phone yesterday to his mom, she told him that the ex is coming to stay with her for a week in August (in England) and then go to France to stay with bf's dad for a week.

Two notes: 1) bf hasn't spoken to his father in several years, though ex still has contact with him. 2) Ex and bf have a three-year-old daughter together, so I guess the trip is supossed to be for her (Even though she's too young to remeber much of it).

Not aknowledged by his family

My DH's family still act like he's married to his Ex. His family all live abroad, where DH met the Ex and they lived for a couple of years before moving to The States. So his family got the chance to know her, but not me. I have spoken to his mum twice. They call him every week or two and almost every call, all they do is talk about her. (He puts the phone on speaker, so I can't help but hear). Sometimes they talk to her more than they talk to him. I know they will always be in contact with The Ex because of my SD.

Harder than I thought!

In my mid-20's, I never thought I'd end up with someone who was divorced with a small child. Dealing with The Ex and a stepdaughter is so much harder than I dreamed it would be (not that I thought it would be easy, but you know how things are--sometimes you have to experience them before you fully understand them).
