Didn't even tell me about the new baby.......

HI people - this is going to be a long one because I have to give context.

My 33 year old adult step son and his fiance just got a new baby and he didn't even sms me to tell me. I heard via my husband whose words were "in case you the last one to know....XXXX is born". This stepson is the biological child of my husband who found my husband 4 years ago - he wasn't raised by my husband.

When my husband and I were just dating - I found him already to be an unlikeable person - and that is a general consensus in business as well as socially. Self centred and money oriented.

I have no problems with my husband's other bio children.

Add to the problem - my husband lives (for the next 12 months) in his home country but will move down here in a year. This stepson lives virtually round the corner.

He has had issues with me from moment one and then he had a huge issue with his DAd. They sorted it out but my name was constantly brought up. I finally decided to be the bigger person and say to my husband - I'll let bygones be bygones - and we visited twice before my husband went back overseas.

IN the meantime I was invited to the babyshower (only 5 ppl showed up - because he was there) but me and my mom brought gifts.

Now the baby is born and I wanted to be part of its life - but if he doesn't have the decency to tell me - I didn't ackowledge the birth. My husband told me over Skype.

I know I am doing destructive behaviour but I brought my part and now I have been kicked in the teeth again. My husband will come home to live here in a year - but I don't want to be part of this man's (my stepson's) existence.

I am going to see my therapist on Monday so that this doesn't affect me and my husband's relationship - but I am worred that it will.

Pls - I need comments.

My hubby and I are only married for 3 months..............

first thing.. he's a guy. second... he's a guy.
thirdly.... he prolly just doesn't realize that you really want to be involved and telling one person was spreading the news.

Because he's a guy they don't think about this stuff like we do.

Sounds like they have made the decision for you. They excluded you. Your husband should not expect you to repeatedly put yourself in a position to be treated poorly.
