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. Still, it's hard to always feel like I'm outside looking in, like I'm not as "real" as his first family. Sometime's I just feel so jealous. I've tried getting in contact with his family through letters, cards, having DH say hello for me on the phone, etc, but they've never responded. It's hard for me to try and call them because of the eight-hour time difference. Any advice? Anyone every go through something similar?
