She set the bar pretty low.

Ok. At the risk of sounding really vain I'm gunna throw out there. Bio mom is so completely jealous of me it is nuts!!!

DH says they divorced bc she was cheating with 18 year old & a 38 year old both. He started dating. Then all of a sudden came to grips with her decision & wanted him back. He wouldn't play house bc of the kids, so they remarried. After they remarried he asked her what it was that woke her up. Her answer... When they broke up she didn't realize he would find someone smarter, prettier & better than her. Seriously! Great reason to get the family back together. All I could think was, she set the bar pretty low. Anyways... We have been married for three years. Bio mom is a raging freak when it comes to me. Way beyond what I can lay out. I will say she isn't anything special as far as looks. And this is not easy to type, cause I'm not really vain... But I'm pretty. So three years... Plus. And I see my friend is Facebook friends with this ex girlfriend. So curiosity sets in. It's been in the back of my head for three years... Cause I'm a woman, come on... So I tell my friend the situation & ask to see the ex gf's Facebook pics. She's not even what is consider pretty. I'm waaayyyy prettier. No wonder the bio mom is dying EVERYTIME I'm around. There's been a lot of talk around our small community about it too... Even SD said one time: "My mom says she doesn't understand why everyone talks about how pretty you are."
This was in the beginning. My response was, "Well let's help her understand!" And I went all out fixing up. Fast forward years... It's still an issue. It's obvious to see. Others are still telling us that's her issue. Belch. Who cares?!?! Is bio mom jealous of you? How do you deal with it? I just do my thing... Try not to "share oxygen" (get too close to her)

I have always been nice and that one time I was pretty immature about it... It was once I tried to flaunt it. But I have never & don't believe I would ever again. Especially having over three years of jealous behind us.

My ex is remarried. And is now my bio kids step mom. I'm not jealous of her. Her looks aren't even a thought of mine. I couldn't care less. I think perhaps I just figured out the issue!!! I loathe my ex. He's a nasty slug. & is never in a million years be with or want to be with him. Now bio moms ex... My DH. He's a sweetheart. And she describes him as such. Bingo. She is more jealous she's not with him.

Bio mom married a man 16 years old & looks like the pope. My DH is smoking hot! I think she misses having a hottie husband.

BM is sooo jelous of me she once asked SD who was prettier... SD5 at the time replied with "I dont wamt to say because I dont want to hurt anyones feelings... I figure if SD actually thought her mom was pretier she woukd have just said so because I wasnt even there SO was. BM was also the same size as me then I started eating healthier and am still smaller 6 months pregnant... she has been eating crazy healthy the entire time... Blum 3

BM has also only gotten mediocre short chubbier men. SO is tall thin and a channing tatum look alike... I think it bothers her.

SO and I also have a much more open and honest relationship. She lost it when she found out he shares everything with me even texts and emails. I think she aldo sees him doing things for me that she never got.

I think husbands ex has this same feeling. My husband is doing sooo many things with me that he didn't do for her. He a better job so he gets paid more we have a big new house go on vacations I asked him to hire a maid and he did and I think the thing that got her the most is that she got pregnant so he married her. They had threw kids and he got a vasectomy. She wanted more kids. He married me without me pregnant I.e. he chose to. And he got the vasectomy reversed. We are trying for more kids. He told me he always wanted more kids he just knew she was fooling around and he didn't want to question if they were his!

BM definitely has a gorgeous face. I've always said that but I usually follow it up with "looks fade!" I'm not a dog by any means. People constantly don't believe that I'm almost 44 and have a child that is 20. That being said, BM and I are not even on the same playing field. We are worlds apart in all things. I can afford to have designer things and you can visibly see the jealousy on her face when she sees me with a new Coach purse or in an outfit for work. I'm a business dress, heels, always matching kind of girl. She dresses like a freaking slob at all times (insert wife beaters and yoga pants that haven't been washed in awhile here) and when she does bother to shower and get dress, well, I just want to know who influenced her fashion sense growing up because some of the outfits I'm sure she thinks are stylish I wouldn't put on my dog! The thing she doesn't know is that I'm very thrifty and buy the designer stuff from ebay, Poshmark, or Tophatter. No way am I paying full retail price for a Coach!

As for her jealousy? I won't change who I am to suit her. I have no problem with her sitting on the sidelines feeling insecure and pitiful. As I have said many times - get a job if you want what you can't currently have.

Oh, yes! She's jealous enough that our attorney is using me for bait in court to make her show her crazy side. }:) She also left DH, and thought he would come crawling back to her. Instead he found me. I am 12 yrs younger than her (she was quite a bit older than him). She has a good 100 lbs on me. I know how to apply makeup well and fix my hair. She doesn't. I dress well. She doesn't. I am smart, funny, and nice. She is unintelligent, obnoxious, and mean. Oh, and she looks like a caveman. First time I saw her, I thought she was a man.

It also bothers her when she hears from the skids about all the sweet things DH does for me that he never did for her. She was a mean, controlling bitch. Why would he go out of his way to do nice things? She's jealous of the fact that the skids like me so much, too. Wink
