This episode was spot on! This is my husband’s second marriage, my first. And from the moment I even started dating my husband, his ex wife was so intent on inserting herself into our relationship. We’ve been married for two years and finally recently my husband and myself have told his ex wife, enough. She, like you said, would try to text my husband about things that weren’t about their son. Things that were inappropriate. I tried to be friendly but it always backfired. So like you said, I go back to, what am I supposed to do as a Christ follower. Things have been slightly better since my husband and I put in boundaries.
Thank you for your comment! We are so glad this episode was a blessing to you! We are stopping right now to cover you in prayer that God would continue to lead you through these challenging circumstances with love, compassion and discernment. Be blessed in all that you do!
I'm becoming part of a blended family. I get along with the kids great and made every effort to make it easier on both of their parents by extending the olive branch to their mother. We go to the same church and live in a very small town only a couple blocks apart. She's made several attempts to sabotage our relationship from relentless complaints about how we spend our time together, to showing him pictures of herself in tiny bikinis asking for his opinion, to most recently inviting herself along with us (kids included) to Wisconsin and even asking to stay in our room. She's constantly texting and calling him, asking favors of him, doing her best to make him and I jealous, strutting around in sleasy outfits (even at church), being overly friendly with him and passive-aggressive with me... she constantly bashes him publicly on social media, calling him a narcissistic abuser despite the post always having attached a selfie, usually in a bikini or super tight workout clothes. She does this every single day, several times a day and I only know this because she sent me a friend request i shouldn't have accepted. She's a bodybuilder and good for her. She works hard at it and wields a great body for her age, but it's non-stop all about how she's "the hot ex", how good she looks for 40, how people are always jealous of her, intimidated by her, uncomfortable with her confidence, etc. I just want her to stop. I'm so stressed out, I'm battling severe chronic illness, I'm having a very hard time coping with the unexpected suicide of my mother 2 weeks ago and trying to support my newly widowed father living 2hrs away... I fully accept that she's not going away and respect her place as the mother of these two wonderful kids, but I'm not sure how much more I'm going to be able to tolerate nicely or as Jesus would. I don't know what to do.
