How do I get past the fact that my boyfriend’s ex wife will forever be in the picture?

Posted on August 28th, 2008 by admin in How to Get Ex Back

I’ve been dating this man for six months, friends for two, and I’m having a hard time dealing with the fact that he has an ex wife. They have kids together that live with their mom so I understand that they will forever be friends and talk on the phone. I’ve always been intimidated by older woman and have always hated it when my boyfriends talk to their exes. It’s a jealousy thing, an insecurity thing, just a lot of stupid feelings that I need to just get over, I would love some advice.

You have to have 2 things trust and confidence that you’re too good to lose. I have the same situation kind of except they were never married. My boyfriend is best friends with his daughter’s mother but I know they got to the point they’d fight a lot and couldn’t work it out. They still talk often but I talk to him more and we talk about everything so if had any concerns I’d tell him. Good Luck!

    Tough one and something I was recently up to my head in. i think every couple has baggage of one form or another so it is really about DEFINING your own relationship. Put the ex and kids in proper context and keep it that way. If you bf does not respect that, then they shouldn’t have brought your heart into this situation.

    remember that she’s out of the picture for a reason…so don’t keep her in the picture when you could possiblely become part of the future

    look at it like this as long as they only talk about the kids and keep eveything on a respectable level and as long as he isent hiding to talk to her on the phone then it sounds to me like hes had more then enough of his ex-wife. because they have kids together they will def. always be friends and they will always have to keep in contact with eachother dont worry about it

    You don’t need to “get past it”, you just need to accept it. It is
    what it is. They are not together any more. If they wanted to
    be together, they would be.
