I think your ex sounds jealous. If you are happy and your kids are happy then I would say your relationship works and that is all that matters.

You do have a good man, you also have a tough situation. I highly suggest you quit talking to your ex. You divorced him for a reason. Do what you have to do as far as the custody agreement, but you don't have to talk to him on the phone or in person. You certainly don't need to listen to him talk about your husband.

You already know the answer to this. Sounds like our ex is verbally abusive and disrespectful and continues to be so even after your divorce. I hope you NEVER let him know it bothers you or in the least affects your day. Keep communication to a minimum and to the point

The problem here is:

Your Ex is a jerk. You realized that. You Divorced him. He was emotionally abusing you too. He is STILL acting like he can control you. And... you STILL are, getting manipulated by him, because you give credence to all the criticism he tells you.
So, your Ex, is still... able to affect you. Because, you listen to him and let it affect you and your Husband.

Why do you care, what your Ex says?
You know he is a jerk.

Sounds to me like your EH feels like a POS for not being able/willing to provide for his kid(s) and is resentful of the fact that your DH is able/willing to. The way a lot of men react when they feel "overshadowed" (be it by their own choice, or by circumstances beyond their control) by another man. He's likely jealous and the only way he knows how to handle those feelings is by lashing out at you and your hubby. Best advice, just ignore what he says. Do what you want with your hubby and live your life as best as you can. EH will get over it.

You need to quit letting your ex husband get in your head! He knows how to push your buttons. Don't listen and don't respond to him anymore than you have too. Sounds like your husband is a wonderful man who loves you and your family very much and you need to see that and should not have even had to ask this question! Hang onto him and just ignore the ex. That's all he is trying to do, get you riled up, so if you don't respond he gets no pleasure! Congrats on the new husband!!

Focus on your current marriage to this wonderful man you are married to. Don't get put in the middle of this juvenille nonsense. Do what is best for your family. If you DH wants to be a Dad to your kids and he is a good one let him.

Hi, Don't stress the ex. Keep in mind the type of person he is and don't consider anything he says. You already decided he wasn't worth it a long time ago. I have been in the same situation and all your ex is trying to do is continue to cause grief for you. When you talk with him MENTALLY hold your fingers in your ears. I can actually smile when my ex is talking trash without a single nerve twinging because I know there are stupid people in the world and he proves it every time he opens his mouth. :) You don't need others to validate your current husband. You are in your situation and can do that perfectly yourself. Hugs to you!
