DH and I are newlyweds. At times I am so glad we got hitched and other times I think what in the world did I get myself into. I have a BD7 and SS15. DH and I dated for 2.5 years before we got married. I never really was able to have a relationship with SS. The BM is a manipulative control jealous freak and SS is spoiled. When the two of them are not around DH and I have a great relationship including my BD. Anytime SS needs something I try to help DH anyway I can. However, BM is very demanding and controlling.
