Someone asked me the other day if after 17 years of being a SM, do I ever get jealous of my DH's ex. The answer is yes.
It's not that I'm jealous of what she looks like or her lifestyle (although there have been times when we have gone without while she had everything she wanted thanks to our $$$), it's that I'm jealous of what my DH and she had.
She was is first wife, so she was his first proposal, walk down the aisle, dance as a married couple, honeymoon, etc. She's also his first - and only - in regards to their kids (we don't have children of our own).

First blog, years of stories...

I have been a SM for more than 13 years, but since my DH and I dated for 4 years prior to marrying, I count it as 17 years. When we started dated, my two SS were 3 & 4, they're now 20 & 21, and both in college. They're great kids, but no one is perfect and we've certainly had our moments. As for the BM, she has always lived within 15 minutes of us, has shared custody (she had them Sun-Wed, we had them Thurs-Sat, every week unless we were traveling), and has always been in our life. She still is.
