Trust me I understand perfectly that he has to co-parent with her and that is not a problem. my problem is when he makes me second in his life. Sometimes its like he makes me feel inferior to his ex.
Honey, you are inferior to his ex wife....please, don't delude yourself as far as that is concerned. Inspite of what you and her husband have done to her she is trying her best to encourage a relationship between him and his children and she isn't letting you stop her. She is able to see beyond her own childish needs and put the children in this mess first....that makes her superior to you in every way.
Let me give you a little glimpse into your future. You will continue to ride your husband's ass about his ex wife. You will moan and bitch and cry and manipulate the hell out of him. It's your nature, that comes through in your posts. His ex wife will continue to treat him as a friend, she will continue to make sure he has a relationship with his children and she will do it all in a way that garners his respect.
One day or maybe in the middle of the night one night he will come to his senses. He will look around him and realize that he threw away a perfectly good family to live with a slut who will sleep with a married man. That is when he will feed you a face full of ass. He will be trying to work his way back to what he has thrown away.
That is when you will get a taste of what his ex wife has lived. Do I think you will handle it as graciously as she has....hell no. Go vent somewhere else whore and be sure to spend the rest of your marriage with this man looking over your shoulder, you never know when he might start screwing around on you like he did his ex wife. Honey, you are miserable and you deserve every minute of it...."what goes around comes around," brace yourself cause there is some kick ass karma in your future.
