His New Wife Is Clearly Jealous That His Ex-Wife Fell In Love And Got Engaged
This 37-year-old man has an ex-wife, who is 40, and they had three children together. While they were still married, everything was great, but then he realized he was no longer happy.
In hindsight, he can recognize the root of his unhappiness as several different reasons, however at the time, he speculated that he was simply falling out of love with his ex-wife.
He told his ex-wife how he was feeling, and she did her best to try to make him happy again. They even went to marriage counseling, but nothing worked, and his ex-wife was upset that he no longer loved her.
This led to them separating, but before they did, he ended up developing feelings for his new wife. He admits this made him not give marriage counseling a real try, but he insists he didn’t cheat on his ex-wife.
Ever since getting divorced and remarried, he and his ex-wife have maintained an excellent co-parenting relationship for the sake of their children.
They only talk about their kids, they don’t argue, and they make sure to exclusively speak in a positive way about one another while in the presence of their children.
Not only has he been able to move on and find a new wife, but his ex-wife has found love again too and is currently engaged.
Upon finding out about his ex-wife’s engagement, his new wife has developed a full-blown obsession with his ex-wife.
His new wife is even stalking his ex-wife, he says, and he thinks his new wife is upset that his ex-wife is happy instead of miserable and alone.

His ex-wife has actually been dating this guy for two years but kept it quiet, as she wanted to make sure things were on track before involving their kids or anyone else.
His new wife can’t get over the shock of his ex-wife moving on, and she immediately started following his ex-wife’s new man on social media.
“But the new guy seems really nice and instead of being glad that at least her stepchildren would have a good man in their mother’s life my wife is very irritated and angry. I would even say jealous,” he explained.
“…I confronted her, and she denied being jealous or obsessive. I told her that we should be happy since my children will have to live with this man, and it is a good thing that he is good to their mother and that she’s in a happy relationship. It benefits everyone.”
“She told me who in his right mind would want her. I was surprised because why would she not think any human, let alone someone like my ex is worth love? I told her probably plenty would because she is a kind and pleasant person.”
His new wife freaked out and began calling his ex-wife a whole bunch of bad names. He’s left struggling with how to handle things moving forward.
