asked him to stop talking to her? My husband and I met while working at the same company 6 years ago. When we met, he had been divorced for a few years. They have a 13 year old son between them. They were high school sweethearts, married for a number of years before divorcing. He says they divorced because she was not happy, they grew apart and she found someone else and left him. Apparantly he never got over her or the pain she caused him when she split with him. We were together 5 years before getting married and have a 2 year old together. The ex-wife and I have had problems in the past, due to her lack of respect for me and my marriage to her ex-husband. She has written him letters in the past and sent texts which were highly innappropriate. In the texts and letters she says things about them getting back together someday, or she thinks about him and things like that. He has lied to me in the past about their communication, and I recently found out he did some work for her in her yard and failed to tell me about it. The only reason I found out was by reading a text she sent him. He has told me in the past that he was ending our relationship because he was reuniting with her. I do not believe that she should be contacting him for anything other than emergencies dealing with their son. She also has a live-in fiancee. I just don't understand why they can't leave each other alone. At this point, I feel like my input concerning their relationship is futile and I am considering leaving the relationship. Is there anything else I can do to try and get through to him that I am uncomfortable with their relationship and communication and that I am going to leave if it does not stop??? Help me, I really want to save my marriage from the clutches of this emotional affair!!!
 
it is normal that you would want to save your marriage. But you can't hold on to someone that doesn't want to be held on to.... If he has told you before that is leaving to reunite with his ex, and he hasn't....then he is just keeping you on the back burner...just in case it doesn't work out. So the decision is in your court....Can you handle giving him more of your time and love and then risking the fact that he will one day up and leave? Or do you honestly believe in your heart that you are worth more than the "back burner treatment!"
Have you communicated your feeling to him? and if so and you see no change, then he is truly disrespecting you!
 
Sometimes ultimatums backfire, therefore, I would not issue one to your husband. Your husband and his ex-wife will have a lifetime connection through their son. Even though he divorced his ex-wife, this did not sever the bond between father and son. There is an expression, that says, "You don't miss your water until your well runs dry", which is what the ex-wife is experiencing. After being separated from the ex-husband for a number of years, she realizes that what she had with him was worth saving.

Presently, there is a lot of drama going on in your marriage, partly due to you and partly due to the ex-wife. She knows how to rile you by pushing the right buttons. Your husband appears to be a 1-woman man and is not sleeping with the ex-wife. You are trying to control your husband by issuing ultimatums and dictating conditions under which he can talk with the ex-wife. You are slowly sabotaging your marriage. Let the drama go.
