Everything was going really well w/my man, until the holidays when naturally his ex wanted the girl. The tension between us(me & the ex)is so thick you can cut it with a knife. I felt so betrayed by my man when ex asked when our wedding was going to be, and he told her not no time soon. I told him it made me look a liar and to her it must have looked like he was wanting her to think he was still available. Is this my insecurity? I've had so much running thru my head lately I don't know how to sort it all out.My dad is ill, my nephew is staying w/us til the summer, and I need him to hold me up.Emotional support is not his strongest asset.

I'm still having my days,I do good for a week or so & then all the frustrations come right back again. The divorce wasn't final when he cheated, it was final a couple months later. He's a good man, he says that the reason he cheated was religious related. He doesn't believe in divorce & felt at the time WE were the ones committing adultery. He loves me, I know that. I need everyones prayers tomorrow. She's fighting us for custody of the girl, and we go to court tomorrow. Please pray that first we can retain custody(she just got out of jail!), second that my despite for her doesn't get the best of me and I pop her in the head. ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/smile.gif)

Perhaps I am missing something, but it seems you are saying he had an affair with his ex-wife while still married to her? That is not possible. If he was still married to her, then he was correct - you and he WERE the ones committing adultery. And not only religious people believe that - it is the dictionary, the legal, and the moral definition of adultery as well.
