Convinced emotional incest (spousification) ruined my marriage.
I'm in a situation where my husband filed for divorce, I'm living in his house, and I'm not able to move out until there is a court order for spousal support. Throughout my marriage. I always felt like my husband and his daughter were too close. He always put me on the back burner, and she basically acts like his wife when she's here. I know it's not her fault, this is a parenting issue on my husband's part, but I can't help but feel resentful. I was never able to take my place as my husband's significant other/teammate because she was already standing in that spot.
Divorce nightmare
Since my husband filed for divorce behind my back about a month ago, life has been a nightmare.

He filed for divorce, and I am desperate for advice.
My husband filed for divorce after 6 years with his main reason being that "I fight with him too much" and he thinks I will never stop. Yes, we did fight, but I was trying to communicate with him about very serious issues.
The problem is now my mind is bombarded with "what if it's all my fault" thoughts and it is throwing me into a deep depression and giving me awful anxiety. I would very much appreciate some honest feedback. These are the issues I would argue with him about...
Last talk I will have about mini wife. It’s too weird!!!
SECOND UPDATE: he said the situation between him and mini wife will "resolve itself" when she leaves for college. Wellll, he filed for divorce 6 weeks after she left! And he recently admitted to me that he never wanted me or my daughter to accompany him and his daughter on their vacation this last summer because his exact words, "things are just more fun when y'all aren't around" . I feel so stupid for trying to reason with him all these years. I knew there was something wrong. I don't understand why he even married me.
Is this weird behavior? Sending selfies to teenage kids?
So, my husband, in my opinion, has an overly close relationship with his daughter. She's 18. He's been sending her selfies. Just him smiling, but I think it's so weird. He doesn't send them to his son. He doesn't even send them to me (he used to when we dated, though). And then she hearts them.
I have an 18 year old daughter and I don't send her selfies of me, only pictures of us together after an event or something.
so is this weird?? To me it is like what people do when they're dating...send selfies back and forth.
Separate vacation DH and 18 year old SD??
So we are blended SS in college, DD just graduated highschool and so did SD this year. So we are about to be empty nesters. Well, my DH told me that his daughter requested that they go on a vacation together without me and my daughter, and I'm not sure how I feel.

I think my husband is not over his divorce!
I've been trying to figure out the disconnect. The fixation on his past life, his kids fixation on their past life with their parents together. But many times it's not even them together...it's him and his kids alone. I overheard him talking to an old friend tonight at a social event...and my husband is saying, "she just filed for divorce, bam, out of the blue, no warning"

My husband is angry that my daughter is dating someone of a different race.
They are both seniors and work together. My husband is making it very difficult. He hasn't said anything to her, but he's been acting like it's the end of the world to me. Saying she's making a highe mistake and will ruin her life.
Need a pep talk for upcoming 9 day family vacay!
So, we have an amazing vacation coming up that I'm super excited about, but can't help but be nervous and apprehensive at the same time. Blended with 3 teenagers who never really blended. They don't argue much, but they're just kind of "blah" about being around each other. It can get uncomfortable at times. Then there's the miniwife issue with my 16 yr old stepdaughter. We get along pretty good now, but her and my husband still act like a couple IMO, and she is demanding of his attention. My husband does "try" to be aware of this, but it still seems to happen somehow.
