My Dh is a widower so there is no BM in my life. I tend to wonder what some of the bitter/crazy etc BMs we hear about on Steptalk were like before the divorce. Maybe they were normal women?

I have come to the conclusion that some women just can't handle divorce - even when they are the ones who wanted the divorce in the first place!

Seeing your ex husband move on. Seeing another woman in your place. Not every woman can deal with that and remain classy.

I don't have an SD (thank God!) but I am intrigued by the mini wives I read about on here. Why, if they are that clingy about dadddeeeeee do some of them go on to marry men who have daughters from previous relationships? What is going on there? Did they just not realize what they were doing or do they consider themselves immune?

My dh has a habit of telling little lies. He seems bemused when I confront him. To me a lie is a lie. No matter how small.

For example today I asked him to feed BS2 an orange. He told me that BS refused to eat the orange. Later on he said that he did not feed BS2 the orange.

He does this ALL the time. Why lie about such things. It just makes me paranoid for no good reason. I find myself crosschecking stuff he tells me.

My DH has improved so much in recent months but sometimes I find myself wondering WHY was he so insensitive to me for so long?

During the earlier part of our marriage he and SS would have conversations in the evening that I was not allowed to participate in. He would actually ask me to keep quiet and 'let the boy talk' if I asked a question or otherwise tried to be part of the convo.
